GTSMarky Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Good effort. From experience the first time you look at something and disassemble it is the worst, thereafter you become more familiar and it gest less complicated. I've rebuilt certain motorcycles & their engines now that if I strip a Yamaha LC or Montesa Cota I can throw all the bits in one place and put them back no issue. Next time you delve into the bowels of the Boxster it will be less of a surprise & you'll get further.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do this, a good night's sleep and the box of parts sitting in his front porch for a couple of days doing nothing is all the motivation he needs. @Lonewolfnot difficult once you commit, take your time and take it slow.

The parts have arrived and there is a large box in our hallway….. I will open it tomorrow and give the parts a clean up 🧽 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzfox Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 On 1/28/2022 at 3:08 PM, Withy said: 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!: That looks pretty smart to me and I'm guessing slightly cheaper than an official new wheel! Where did you get the tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelin Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 I've always wanted that red mark on my SW but its leather. Am I correct in assuming it was only ever fitted to an alcantara wheel? At least it would match the red callipers 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basecar1 Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Taken a trip out to Porsche reading to extend the warranty on my tin~top today. All went smoothly & pretty straight forward , no 111 point check anymore for an extension… happy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moospeed Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Took it out for the first time in aaages. Added some road grime, corroding salt and a few hundred miles, the de-valuing is coming along nicely. This was at sunset, I haven't painted the memorial to match the car, hashtag #nofilter 😎 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alank Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Passed MOT at my local garage, he said they dont get many NICE cars in to work on, ha,ha. Just got service light up, so it off to Brookspeed, Southampton, to have its Major done in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 In for recall today, got a nice explanation of the work to be carried out and a guided tour under the car. Bit if a kick in the teeth to see my low mileage summer driven car with a bit of corrosion on the inside of the brake lines which are hidden behind the calipers. Lower subframe brace also needs a good rub down. Be as well driving the thing all year round! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I took mine out for a nice run around the country lanes and ended up in Ludlow. I was mainly taking it to check how the GTS sound symphoser sounds when driven in attack mode and it didn’t disappoint, also the car ran faultlessly after me taking it apart which is both a miracle and a blessing 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wondered if there is "need" to do that for my own one! Yes I agree the new wheel combination has really transformed the look of the car. I did spend quite a bit of time researching before I decided on the satin black diamond cut but I’m glad I did. Yes those are the led side indicators and yes they would look great on your tGT silver GTS, if you notice in the picture my friends GT silver GTS Cayman and I have convinced him to get some for his 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
