That one is slightly different, the Metra one I had doesn't use a cage. Not sure if that one you still use the head unit fascia or not? If it doesn't, that could actually be better.

SuperPaulie Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 i used the Connects2 version. I chose it because it had the matching "rounded" section i guess at the top that matched up to the rounded part of the frame under the heater vents. Others ive seen are just flat, and that wouldnt have worked for me. Only picture i have at this moment in time, but you can just see what i mean at the top of the surround there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knobgoblin Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 After fixing my roof the other day, from manual to fully working, it packed up whilst closing it on Monday night. Thankfully it had reached the windscreen but wouldn't do anything else just clicked and dulled the dash lights. So i latched it and left it. Been attempting to gain access, which has proved immensely difficult with the clamshell sealed shut. Got one strut to pop off from inside the car but the other proved impossible to shift. Tried undoing the boomerang nut but that was impossible also. Finally pulled up one side of the clamshell and propped it up to reach inside and pop the clip of the other strut. Baffled as to why the failure, the push rods were still connected, and the cables. Took the boomerang off one gearbox and discovered it would move back and forth, assumed somthing inside had broken so took it out the car. Suprised to find 'half a cog' which had managed to go over to the part with no cog, if that makes sense. Unsure why that would cause the whole thing not to work, surely it should have tried to close and twisted everything, although the clamshell seemed to be under an immense amount of tension when i finally freed it. Anyway, reset the 'half a cog' and reassembeld. Syned the motors, and hey presto, it all works again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's original Porsche leather from a door card I bought, so it's the right colour and age. Was pretty hard work though to be honest, but I like the final result, something a bit different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher2110 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Not today but a week or so ago. Fitted the custom vents I purchased from @Saxosim Still undecided, they give it a more aggressive look and only had positive comments so far! At least its only one screw to put the others back! 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berni29 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hi, do you have a flat side on pic of these please? The one thing that looks a bot uncomfortable to me on the 986 are the side vents. I'm undecided on these though! Berni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some bloke Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Went out and got some Vitamin P at lunchtime - it was a lovely day and looks like the weekend will be shyatee, so Iwent for a drive in Edinburgh. Spent a bit of it sitting in traffic but had the top down, heater and music up. Which was nice... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

½cwt Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Looked out of the window at a very soggy car wishing I could start to get anti-seize spray onto all the suspension bolts I'm going to be trying to undo in the near future and fit the new crested wheel centres (thanks @Freddie). Staying warm and dry inside over the weekend and there's not even a GP to watch this weekend! I fear Mrs @½cwt will be finding tasks for me around the house...

I’d planned a nice relaxing weekend in due to the weather but we have sprung a leak in the conservatory, so looks like I’ll be on the roof trying to temporarily fix it until I can get a roofer out. 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berni29 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hi guys, I washed the Boxster today, and claybared a front wing. Something I have never done before as I am not one for car washing/cleaning. I cannot believe how smooth it came up. So applied a winter coating of wax to it. Now as soon as there is a decent spell of weather will do the rest of the car. Berni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
