Not that rare, there are loads of them on here 😂😂😂

Best thing to do at the start of the process is to give the hood a light hoover before you start cleaning, gets all the grit and dust out of the fabric and stops you sealing in the deeper dirt. Really makes a difference

I managed to get a photo with my phone installed using my iPad.

The phone screen is not much smaller than the PCM display and when I replace the phone next month I will be getting a larger screen again (I work from my phone a lot)

Each to their own, but that ruins the looks of the dash. I’ll stick to keeping my phone in the tray under the stereo while i’m driving  😁 damn thing gets enough attention when i’m out of the car, don’t need to see it all the time - I am slowly turning into my dad!

Mobile phone holders are never pretty are they - doesn’t the phone cover the volume knob when it’s fitted now?

Your 986 has PDK 😦

Doh! Wrong version

Serviced today, including the PDK oil change, drive home definitely felt more taught - placebo effect I guess 😁  

This thread is completely different to @ATM“s thread on PH where armchair experts automatically ripped into various vague conclusions without the full facts. That’s why I like it here on BoXa.net

good on you for buying it back - sounds like madness without having somewhere to build it,  it hats off to you. Keep us posted please with lots of pics

Not sure if this will be of any help, but replaced the drivers side rear mud flap today on my 987.2

This was my problem, the flap was cracked and filling up with dirt and road debris

There are 5 Torx screws holding it in position,

and ideally it would be a lot easier to do this with the rear wheel removed, but it can be done withthe right tools.  Two fixings in the inner wheel well;

Two further fixings underneath, one to the front and one located in the well and a final one located further under the car

Of course I didn’t have the right tools, the screwdriver handles I had were too long, therefore a Torx bit and mole grips were required to be able to undo them

Old one removed, you can see the dirt that builds up behind the part;

i purchased rhe new mud flap from Design9 off of eBay, approx £35

With a close up of the part number if needed;

once removed, I cleared out all the dirt and debris from around the inner arch. Before fitting the new one, remember to swap the clips from the old one otherwise the fixings have nothing to bite into.

The hardest part of refitting is to get the clip at the top to fit behind the wheel arch lip. Took a bit of jiggling, but once that’s in place, everything else seems to slide into place easily. All fitted and fixed;

whole job took about 30mins start to finish, probably would have been quicker if I had the right tools or removed the wheel first....

Today I removed the restrictor plate from the left hand vent. Didn’t go as far as removing the snorkel itself as there seems little point.

panicked that the outer vent was going to snap into 15 pieces but it came out in the end 

Took it out of the garage, cleaned it inside and out with the new microfibre kit - works well! Fitted the Boxster S badges back on the boot (painted black)then it started to rain so put it back again ?
