Southy Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Driving back from my Mothers on Sunday, came across a monster at the lights a AMG V12-Bi Turbo SL convertible, something similar to the one below, could hear the beast roar as he pulled out in front of me on a dual carriage way, took a mile to catch up and a set of red lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman42 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get it done at a body shop, they charged me £150 all in, which I think is pretty reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxosim Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Fitted an aux cable to my stock Porsche CD-R-22 headunit. It’s great and was only a £7 mod. The programming to accept it took a bit of working out but simple once done. Also just had my front springs replaced and a few suspension issues sorted. The daft thing is the H&R lowering springs only come as a complete set so I now have a spare rear set. Oh well they will come in handy one day I suppose. Just also purchased another S facelift exhaust system today and getting D&G Porsche to carry out a bypass mod to it and then replace my current system with it as it has the creos mod and unfortunately drones at cruising speed. I love the sound clips of the bypass mod I have heard and I have also heard one in person and they sound great. Looking forward to getting it done over the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickLS7 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Got home at 5.30pm and swapped out my rattling alternator, only took an hour. I sprayed Plus Gas on the bushing a couple of times and that soon gave in and released the alternator. Trickiest thing was getting the wires (which are a bit short) back on the new alternator. Not quite as bad as this one but this is what the old alternator sounded like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdvUIt9knPQ Edited May 2, 2018 by RickLS7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anker BS Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) It was winter Monday, spring yesterday and summer today in Massachusetts, 91 degrees F. I installed a 4' by 8' shelf in the garage and then my wife and I took the S to Kimball Farms fort an ice cream. Top down and AC running!
