Bum bum bum bum bubbadumbum.... The very start of the 90's. I had a Peugeot 205XS and a Yamaha RD350LC FII Powervalve.. Not a care in the world other than how on earth I was going to afford an FZR600 & I'm still chasing bikes today!

If you bring your crayons and tracing paper down you can make a transfer!🖍️😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine will be due the six year service soon and Norwich Porsche have quoted about £250 more than Autowerke. ETA assuming it's Norwich Porsche if you've also extended the warranty?

Withy Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 After researching (rennlist) which type of cloth tape to use when adding a faux centre stripe on alcantara wheel, it arrived today and I applied it. Super simple to do (it's just sticky backed and can be taken off at any point with no residue. Think it's quite good, and it's precisely the correct width. Seem to have a bit spare too Will leave it for a while to see if I like it, so far I do, but I also recognise that it might be a bit w@nky as it isn't the real deal Before After Spare!: 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 I have been researching the sound symposer off the GTS models and trying to find out how difficult it is to fit to a 981s. Daz has fitted it to his and there is a little bit of sketchy information online but not a lot. Basically it is a plastic pipe with a valve that connects to the drivers airbox finishes in a pre drilled hole in the firewall. There is also a vacuum connection to control the valve but that is it. Quite straight forward I thought? No you need to replace the drivers side airbox with the GTS version with the connector for the pipe £450+Vat from Porsche plus another £150ish for the rest of it 😪 You can find them used if your very lucky but they are very very hard to find. After a lot of digging round and weeks later I managed to find one in a breakers in Latvia which I’m currently waiting to arrive. I decided to put the roof in the service position and have a look at the engine bay. Quite a faff on these compared to the early models but it was my first time 😂 Firstly I noticed mine didn’t have the pre drilled hole in the firewall 😩 Umm not sure about drilling blindly into the engine bay but I thought let’s have a look to see what room we’ve got. It turns out to replace the airbox you need to remove the intake manifold, a bit advanced for me but I thought I will have a go. Then I saw the engine bay 😂 The access is terrible And the airbox that needs removing is tucked out of site by the changeover valve. So I decided to quit while I was ahead, I will ask Cotswold Porsche to fit for me when they do the service. At least I got to see how it all worked and came apart 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolfgjp Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 😂 Yes just about, the hardest bit is the parcel shelf carpet bit what a pain. I used to think removing the Bose sub box was a pain on the 987 but that is a walk in the park compared with this😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
