charlieboy2608 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Looks like when you grab the disc the driveshaft does not move by the same amount so I'd guess your diagnosis is right. Could be driveshaft splines though I'm no expert-I'm sure somebody with more knowledge will be along shortly 🙂 I'm still thinking backlash in the diff/gearbox......

Check it is Porsche part number 996 331 045 06 or a superseded version of that. It is the same part through the life of the 986 according to the parts catalogue and putting my reg number in Autodoc doesn't bring up that part.

myfirstboxster Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Put it through an MOT , passed with no advisories , noticed that it had only done 1600 miles since the last test ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I want anything on the roof rack with roof down. But hardtop yes. I've seen some Google Images with the hardtop and RTS in situ. I bought it on a whim so not sure I'll ever use it but you never know right. I think it will look cool with a kids bike and dad's bike on top.

map Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 986 RTS with ski clips. As seen on a forum car. Will be refitting it and the hardtop for Winter duties in the next week or so. Incidentally it passed its MOT yesterday - even with 3.7 litres and re-profiled cams it still meets emissions regs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edc Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 @map looks like a healthy serving of negative camber on the front, must be -2.5 or more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as such - it’s heavily tweaked and the changes are ongoing. Current setup is 3.7 motor, re-profiled cams, small intake (74mm), lighter (-8kg) rotating/reciprocating crank assembly (pistons- flywheel), custom long manifold exhaust system. With an interim map gives a useful 326bhp at the crank. Torque biasing diff, custom coilovers and chassis setup with better brake cooling, fluid and pads. Future developments include large intake (minimum 82mm) from in-wing filter to new plenum plus a remap and on road mapping for drivability - hopefully see an up tick on both torque and bhp. 1 hour ago, edc said: @map looks like a healthy serving of negative camber on the front, must be -2.5 or more?

½cwt Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Took it over to Dove House in Rushden for an oil service and inspection, comments on brake line corrosion (I have a cunfier pipe kit to do replacements already), corrosion starting to build up on inner face of discs, exhaust flange bolts heavily corroded and rear under try missing (in shed having a crack repaired). Noting too unusual for a 21 year old 100+k mile Boxster. Added bonus that I found V Power at the Shell just down the road at 'only' 156.9p/l.

Halfordwill Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) The inner rear discs seem to pick up corrosion I took mine off used a wire brush in the drill. Drilled out the holes and used brake pad paint on the exposed faces to protect them. nesrside pipes are easy to replace. Front needs the subframe out and you probably know the rear needs the gearbox out. Edited December 3, 2021 by Halfordwill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front needs the subframe out and you probably know the rear needs the gearbox out. The comments are on the front to rear and the pipes connecting the flexi hoses to calipers, so all accessible but I will inspect the others. You can put a joint in the rear line to make life easier or I ahve seen a video feeding the straight pipe in and bending it up as you go from each wheel arch once it has passed over the gear box. We'll see when I get to it probably in the Spring, and I will paint the calipers at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfordwill Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 The front isn’t as bad as it sounds if you combine it with front suspension work. The best tip I had was to crack open a bleed nipple depress the brake pedal and hold it there with a piece of wood and then you can work all day on your brake pipes without loosing any fluid from the reservoir. The near side to backs are otherwise quite an easy job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S14 Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Not exactly what I’ve done, but she (the car) passed another MOT today with no advisories👍. She,s spending the night away at the independent, to have the air con union joint repaired, there is a small air con leak by the offside rear wheel. Also having the underside sprayed with Lanoguard.

Rav Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 MOT time today. Two advisories - Brake pipes covered in grease and exhaust system fixings corroded. I am pleased. Well done Viola.

S14 Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hi @edc when I collect the car tomorrow, I will let you know the exact amount. They have just started offering Lanoguard and they gave me an approximate cost when the car was being serviced by them a couple of months ago.

999mch Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Well just replaced the frunk struts, got fed up of it hitting me on the head in the high winds, at £16 and about 10 mins to fit seemed silly not to ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daboy3000 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 What have I not done today... Couldn't get the bolt out of the back, need much longer tools. Old one is more bent than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
