JohnnyUK Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Energiser Customs ltd searched on eBay £130 for the pair. Can't detect obvious play when they are out but can detect small play when you split the coffin arm end and pull/ push on the control arm. You wont believe how such little play can magnify into such an annoying knocking! ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkywhite Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Been tucked up in the garage over winter, but the sun came out today. Taxed, it insured it and took it for a spin. Its coming to work this week with me. https://i.imgsafe.org/9fa22a2de2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason986S Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) I think a roof scrub is in order @Loz987. But as for the spring.... ah just blu-tac it back on, it's fine..... Time for a H&R upgrade? Edited February 20, 2017 by Jason986S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr96er Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I could do a good roof clean tonight while I fit my Boxstertop gadget....? Good idea! Or maybe I'll wait until I've tried it and know it works! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbretth Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 @Loz987 not the only spring snap today. Both fronts went on mine 500 yards from home. So springs, bearings and top mounts replaced today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Gave her a good de-coke on the way back from my sisters last night. And EVERY time I go there I see Ben (E4BRT) This time I slowed down for him and we enjoyed the roads for a while, much to the disappointment of an S2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djbox66 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Took her to Zentrum Porsche Nottingham for the day, new clutch (including RMS replacement) and some other jobs. Drove really nicely on the way home, springy clutch and no more judder! Thanks to Mike for taking the time to talk through the work and showing me the nackered clutch afterwards (was original at 108k miles).. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason986S Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 It's my car with posh wheels ^^ ? Very nice @mardell100 ? Just spent half hour removing front spacers in the dark and drizzle on the drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlM Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Today I made grills for my side vents, wanted to keep the original look to the car so I've fitted them behind the vent. Can't really notice them unless you look close, but will keep the crud out. Will do the same to the front grills probably when I take the bumper off to clean the rads out, unless they come out in the same way as the sides? Grills fitted in both pictures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89rallye Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks to jason986s buying my washer quadrants i was able to purchase these and get them fitted also picked some new side grills as the tabs were broken in a few places and for the price i just did both sides can't believe how grey looking the old ones were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el 3.2S Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Not physically done anything as thousands of km away at work but have bought a small wing type rear spoiler to fit in place of the tombstone thing. Got in on USA E Bay and it is coming from China lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfirstboxster Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Took out the quick shift kit and went back to the standard shift setup , just couldn't get away with it , I did fit the new bushes into the old assembly as there was a bit of slop in the old mechanism , feels much better now .

el 3.2S Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Just bought a clear middle brake light. Look forward to getting home and fitting it, together with the spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to getting home and fitting it, together with the spoiler. Make sure you update your progress thread with plenty of pics. I have intentions/plans to do the same (watching the brake light and have the spoiler to be painted in the garage). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
