I also have a silver 987.2. Good choice and great cars. Well I have been here for about 4 or 5 years on the 986 pages, they got sick of me and insisted I buy a 987 and annoy you lot. As posted previously I was looking for a 911 to "scratch an itch" but somehow the more I looked the less I actually wanted one. So moved o to Caymans, then the sun came out (honestly it did) and I realised I wanted another Boxster. I got bombarded with cars from mates on WA (you know who you are) and this one came up with a good spec, one owner, full Porsche history and pretty good value as it was taken in to a non Porsche main dealer. I was in the right place at the right time and got even better value!! I have to say I totally besotted, the PDK is fekkin awesome and sport plus is wicked. It doesn't have PSE which I thought I would want but now don't as the sound is brilliant as it is neither does it have PASM but if yesterday is anything to go by, I don't care.

EVO Chris Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Sounds like to you got a great deal, nice to be in the right place. I put a Carnewal GT exhaust and a set of 200 cell top gear cats on and her which sounds just right. The PDK is an awesome box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bypass pipes and 200 cell on the 986 and it does sound great, I think I will leave this one "as is" as it will be a bit more of a DD. I was surprised how good it sounded in Sport Plus when the revs where in the "higher range". I am think I am right in saying that the Sport Plus does nothing to the exhaust in reality, but it worked for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topbox Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Welcome to 987 world, @Terryg great cars. Having made the move from a 986 myself a couple of years ago I'm sure you'll enjoy the 987 just as much, certainly sounds like you are already . . .

It's not the Dales but Saffron Walden to Braintree is a nice route https://www.countryfile.com/go-outdoors/britains-top-10-country-roads/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely check that out though, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 That’s an upgrade Terry. Sold the 986 already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do that on BoXa first as it has a lot of desirable upgrades, I couldn't believe how much I have done/spent in my few years of ownership. It is a fantastic car that I know one day I will kick myself for selling, I may try and shift the 924 and keep the 986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi @Terryg @Teo Fabi and I did a Sunday meet at Market Harborough and a run up into Rutland last year in the few weeks it was possible. OK if I put you on my list to tag if/when we sort another this summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
