Guards red 987 Boxster

Still loving yours?
Just left it over to AH in Antrim to have the exhaust fitted, Emma can’t wait to hear it!
Breaks my heart to have it out in that weather before I’m finished properly cleaning it but he had time tomorrow so it had to go.
Odd pics as it was getting dark but doesn’t look it, you can see the light from the plate lamps on the ground!

Fitted a toyo sport on to my old 986 at the weekend and it sounds unreal imo so you should be in for a treat!

Really? Mine has as 20mm drop on the SPASM and its only an issue on really high speed humps. So I just avoid those.

Yeah the 987 nose with the sport design lips sticks out a lot! 1st world problems eh?

Yea still enjoying! Id love to take the jump up to a 911 but with a house purchase looming I will have to put any car plans on hold. Though the 981 is a nice thing to be stuck with

Transforms the whole driving experience of them, standard they sound class way up the revs but the gears are that long you don't hear it that much bar when your really going for it, just brings the noise down a few thousand revs.

The thing I’m relieved about is that point about 3k where it starts to go…. Whaaaaaaaaaa, it’s got the same tone just louder

are you sure Emma enjoys this or just really you

Definitely her as well lol She had a 350Z with an invidia exhaust before I met her!

 

[MarkM]

Wonder how long it’ll take her to notice the silver wheels back on?

Looks a lovely example @MarkM . Reds the best colour forsure and glad it’s back on the silver wheels . Mine came on black wheels and I took them off to fit silver lobsters .

I think the autoglym soft top protector stuff works! Not seen a soft top bead like this before, I actually thought it was frozen when I looked out

 

[gary1365]

I always used the autoglym stuff with good result on the z3

I have to admit it’s not a brand that I’d usually pick up these days, great result though

I used more autoglym stuff back when I still had a soft top 10 years ago

Just catching up on this thread - looks much more fresh with silver wheels

 

[MarkM]

Oh dear, the dreaded soaking passenger side carpet, dreaded as under that seat is where the ECU is. Seat out and pulled the carpet back, absolutely soaking, the foam was saturated. Cleaned out all 8 drain holes, 4 front and 4 rear, nothing obvious found but fingers crossed.
Water didn’t make it to the ecu thankfully!

 

[MarkM]

I finally had time to get to the bottom of the water leak. The membrane/tray that covers the entire underneath of the roof section was dislodged at the main hinge just above the seat belt reel.

The plastic membrane is in the correct position in the pic, it wasn’t under the bodywork so water was just streaming past it, hopefully helps someone else without a huge bill!

Rain due tonight/tomorrow so fingers crossed

@MarkM just seeing your original post about the leak, i had the same thing happen on mine a few weeks ago drivers side, thought it was coming through the door seal as the bottom of the carpet was damp on the door card.

The door membrane and blocked drains seem to be the more common ones, looks like I got lucky as this was really obvious, water streaming in, overnight rain will tell though!
Is yours sorted Jim?

 

[jimc]

yes mate all sorted now fingers crossed no more steamy windows.
