He recommended a spacer to be put in. If it comes back he will take a look Were you there today? I was sat outside from 9am until around 2.30pm - over by the bench outside the Chow Shed, generally chilling and drinking coffee (and freezing my nads off...).

I was being burnt to a crisp by the Chow shed a couple of weeks ago - no fun not being aloud in the waiting room with a TV and a loo to hand - but at least your black beast is now sorted.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other term is rev range and hitting the limiter can be stored. The other rev ranges are true over revs. http://www.911virgin.com/porsche/rev-range-information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You buy a porsche to rev the nuts off of it. My ex boss had a gt3 rs, said he wasnt able to go past 6000 revs or some cr*p like that, for warranty. if i spent that sort of money on a high performance car, id want it to rev like buggery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that OPC won't renew a warranty if it falls outside their parameters on over revs or too many occurrences in the over rev rev ranges. Hitting the limiter itself and a GT3RS must have 2k rpm at least left to go won't trigger an over rev. What a waste of a car never going over 6k.

A serious waste of a car and the money.... Being my boss at the time I couldn't or didn't want to question too much. I'd be furious if I was told I couldn't drive the boxster to above 6k... And I'd completely ignore the advice also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it all got a “bit quick” above 6k rpm. Have pax’d in a couple and they are mega above 7k rpm - their rev limiter is set at 9k rpm in the latest versions.......
