And.rs1800 Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Haven’t actually had to do anything or spend anything on the car this weekend apart from the 40 quid of V power I put in. My car gets better every time I drive it.can’t wait for some proper dry roads . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDonald Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Mine's parked at the airport for a couple of weeks while I'm working in Belfast. I'll know I'm home as soon as I'm sitting in the driver's seat. It puts a smile on my face as soon as I catch sight of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it weren't for a friendly bus driver intend on helping out he'd still be stuck at Gatwick... Edited February 8, 2022 by Quinten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clonking past a warp speed from walking pace with circa 330 bhp on tap, I think most pensioners, would shake a finger or two , shouting w*nk*r !!

BBB Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I’ve got the hardtop on for winter and I was worried that it prevented me checking that the rear drains were unblocked. In the gap between rain showers I whipped the hardtop off and found the drains were completely dry and clear. It seems that the design keeps rain and debris out of that area completely. Nice to know and means I only need to resume drain checks once the hardtop comes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris D Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Fitted stainless manifold bolts to my silver one. Also, replaced the caliper bolts to the OS rear. I did the NS the other weekend when I had to helicoil it follwing a shoes, pads and disc change. Thought about fitting the Zunsport grills but cba so it'll wait for another day. On the black one. Removed the smoked repeaters it came with, replaced with OEM. It came with the former fitted, not my cup of tea. Have these for sale if anyone is interested. Fitted some felt pads to the base where the wind deflector thing goes to stop it rattling. Removed the P O R S C H E letters from the boot lid as a bit of the E had broken. Not standard, previous owner took the Boxster S badge off and fitted this instead. Again, I prefer the OEM look. Replacement Boxster S badge coming in the post from Etsy, next month hopefully. Hoovered them both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codfanglers Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Repaired my haunted cup holders today whilst Mrs C was watching the rugby. One holder wasn't latching plus the door hinge was broken off in the middle. The door would jam shut but occasionally spring open by itself and release a cup holder Alien style. Stripped down, plastic glued with Loctite All Plastics (good stuff) and the holder latch repaired with a cut down gold screw. All working now. A fascinating toy and a design marvel but does anyone actually use them or just play with them until they break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken to backing right off the gas when I phhsically overtake (having engaged the warp drive before I draw alongside) as I feel it's the noise that wakes up the dreamers. Gotto make the most of it whilst you still can, it's getting ever harder to enjoy yourself these days. Wokeism has come to a road near you I'm afraid, but thats a whole new topic. Trouble is, most people have absolutely no concept of how rapid a Porker is and as they are travelling at what 'they' consider acceptable and don't care about anyone else, they get easily startled from there dream like existence, lol.

Interestingly, I do the same myself,with valves open, full asbo mode , tend to light it up just as I have passed. Had a couple of occasions when it’s made the driver jump a tad , and turned into me. Basically people that don’t use there mirrors,as frequently as most! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
