I took my 987.2S to Center Gravity last week. It’s done 100k miles. From now on, I’m going to drive it much, much more. No plans to move it on now. 

What made you decide for the Koni Active shocks over OEM or any other option? What springs have you chosen? Asking because I have another 987.2 on 104,000m and looking to replace them. Ta. 

Someone’s going to get a great car for the money. It’s great to hear about a well-loved 987.2. 

Waterproofed the roof this week - what an incredibly easy and satisfying job. Used Fabsil Gold and a 2” paintbrush - it goes on like a dream. 
 

Also replaced the elastic on either side - NOT so easy but very satisfying too. 

The PDLS xenons are very good for the era of car - piercing, focused and bright. Adding to your list will limit your choices though. 

Everything in the ad says ‘well cared for’. As others have said, a well-written ad speaks volumes.
I’d be interested who the Specialist in Devon is. 
 

EPORSCH 👍👍

Freeman - online, there is a Michelin discount code for >2 tyres as well as the online price being lower.

They are mistaken.

Congrats that is a real bargain! I paid £610 last month and I thought that was a steal. 

Oh, fantastic 944GS. 

👍👍

I’ve had my 987.2S Boxster for 3 years and over the relatively few thousand miles I’ve driven it realised what a capable long distance machine it is.

Confidence-inspiring and corner-loving. It kicks my old M135i - with full Birds kit (remap, Quaife, Bilstein) - into the long grass. Even the relative lack of power - not an issue.

So I’ve got four new PS4s on it, and the tracking done, and taking it down to Switzerland / Italy this summer.

Anyone got any tips for the route down, or favourite places around the Swiss - Italian alps? 

Hi JohnnieM,

I have a 2009 987.2S with Bose. I got the headunit replaced with a Kenwood DAB DMX-8019DABS (with Bose adaptor) a couple of years ago by Dynamic Sounds in SW18. This set up cost £850 back then.  

I have to say, even though CarPlay, DAB is great etc., the sound is pretty messy. Big bass is still strong but messy and mid-range is woolly / cracks. Whilst it is 'OK', I feel I have spent a lot of money for just CarPlay. 

IF i had my chance again, I would rip the whole lot out and install any CarPlay headunit (not top of the range!), a little amp, little sub and a set of decent front component speakers. Might cost the same, but at least your wallet would listen with pride!

I remember at the time researching it for weeks and the thought of ripping out the Bose seemed sacrilegious. Now when I listen to it loud, or with any kind of challenging tune, I wish I had done that. Perhaps also, the speakers are past their best after 12 years.

I got a great deal from kwik fit last week, fully fitted £610 for 4 x Mich PS4s (no PS5s in 265 rear size). 
 

they have a Mich discount code on their website. 

I have a 2010 987S with PDLS Xenons.  It is true what they say about xenon bulbs degrading! 

I replaced the bulbs with OSRAM XENARC NIGHT BREAKER LASER D2S recently and they are great. An easy job as long as you don't the strip the screw heads.

All this is great info. What a forum.

Remember the nozzles can be colour-coded as a factory option so keep your eyes peeled for those!

I have a 987.2 with PDLS - I thought they were a gimmick until I tried them, they are really good.

Does anybody use a wireless phone charger in their Boxster’s cubby hole? Do they work?
