RickLS7 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Even on a warm & dry day I had little grip on the rears until they were warmed up (which took about 6 miles). There are probably owners out there that have only ever fitted N0 PZero's so will never know how good the 981 is. I replaced the broken windscreen washer hose tonight, the bottom connector took all the time as there was little space. Found this guide pretty useful, part was £18 from the OPC: https://rennlist.com/forums/diy-submission-forum/944835-991-windshield-washer-fluid-hose-replacement.html Edited March 17, 2021 by RickLS7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleaned inside the wheels and painted those unsightly caliper bolts. Driver's side done, passenger side tomorrow maybe. Yaay, that worked, cheers @rowbos👍 Nice work 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is night and day...part of that of course just being new rubber... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Well a first for me on any car - had to pop over to Eporsh to get a drop link tightened. YES TIGHTENED ! normally they need cutting off, but one of mine was trying to make a break for it. Needed a impact driver to get the job done, all good now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GladysFriday Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Spent a very pleasant hour or 2 with the wife in the Boxster with the top down of course (the car not the wife). Up to the Cat and Fiddle, chatted to some bikers and then an equally pleasant ride home. Roll on the summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob™ Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) It was a V8 Vantage... I'd always promised myself an Aston when I was younger but had been put off by the costs involved - I used to have a fairly high annual mileage and the thought of spending all that money just on fuel to go to work put me off. Now, the work can be done from home and I'm expecting infrequent trips into the office so I thought why not...? It didn't help that a neighbour has gone and bought a DB11 Volante! Beautiful! Anyway, the Vantage is a great looking car, and they sound utterly awesome and if someone were to give me one I'd happily accept, but the Boxster just felt like a better all round car. Perhaps because mine is a bit newer, and I' m used to it, and all that, maybe if I was going from the 987. then I dunno... the 981 just felt a better place to be. And with the added bonus of being a cabriolet and I think I'd miss that. The reviews back me up too - the Porsche get the better driving reviews whereas the Aston gets the exclusivity.

Chuckie66 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Washed out a load of dirt from the rear wheel arches, surprised how much had accumulated, wondering whether to remove the rear plastic wheel arches for inspection and cleaning? Or just drive her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
