Raffe Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I’ve got a black Function First gear knob with red numbers coming in the New Year, married to the alcantara shift boot I think it will work well. May also have centre console colour coded Basalt Black, and may carbon skin (not wrap) the silver trim which surrounds the shift boot. Also have a plan for the silver fascia of the HVAC and below too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finbox Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) During the Christmas holiday I had the chance to charge my Porsche battery. CTEK, took a day, and now I can rest easy for another few months. I've also started to do a list of what I want to do to the car next spring. Adding SPORT-mode is first on my list (PDK without one...). Others might be wheels refurbish, and lowering the car a bit. These pics I look at when I miss the summer and driving. Four months to go... https://imgur.com/PvFD23x I'm not able to post photos. I've posted three previously, but my quota is full. How to link a picture straight into the post? I have Imgur, Onedrive, Apple-share etc. Edited December 26, 2021 by Finbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001pt Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 No prizes for guessing what part of the car I fixed today 🤣 Glad I took someone’s advice from a while ago and had a spare waiting for the day to come. Nice easy job 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice easy job 👍 That looks like a handy spare to have, did you buy a pair? Are they OEM Porsche (Amazon have them for £28) or another brand?

From what I’ve read on here before, you can’t actually get OEM replacements without buying the whole arm. Here’s the link of the ones I bought: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-PORSCHE-986-987-BOXSTER-TWO-CONVERTIBLE-TOP-BALL-PIN-PUSH-ROD-REPAIR-PARTS-/371133038712 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hainesy Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thanks both, presumably it's one of those things that when one goes you do both at same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are the originals on there then if one goes, the other wont be long behind. If it's already been replaced then not necessarily the case. For the money I'd buy two and you're covered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and whatever you go for, go for the plastic ones, some sellers sell metal ones. The plastic ones are designed to shear for a reason if something on the roof goes out of alignment. In the case of the original ones they can just snap as the plastic is old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t replace both at the same time but now you’ve got me thinking it’s probably a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hainesy Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Ordered for the spares box. I went with these that felt vaguely more trustworthy that some off of China. They ship from actual Germany 🤣 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371133038712?hash=item566940c078:g:7moAAOSwd4tTv6YO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hainesy Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I had a mooch on AliExpress to see if it was any cheaper ordering direct - it was about the same once Vat was added and I noted they use the same photo for the white ones. I’m sure it makes no difference in the grand scheme of things tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
