Unfortunately it is the Porsche dealer/shop that is telling me the car doesn't need to go on a jig or be checked with a laser for chassis straightness. They visually inspected and don't feel the...

Is it safe to replace 1 shock on a high mileage car?

My 2008 S was rear ended last week. Damage was limited to the suspension on the left rear which was damaged enough to bend the wheel a few inches forward and down. The insurance company is replacing...

Very nice and I like your choice of grey!

As for extra weight Squozen, just leave your pack of gum at home and it should work out about the same.

rdass623, I would have thought that all OEM 18" wheels have the same offset and that all Michelin PS2s, as per OEM spec., would fit the same (width and height) so I'm not sure what I'm missing?

Interesting discussion for sure.

My Boxster S is the first NA (non turbo) car I've owned in 30 years. I do enjoy the instant throttle response of the Boxster but I miss the explosion of the...

I'd think it would be more difficult to swap engines (remove the 4 and put in a 6) vs slapping a turbo on an NA 6 engine. Porsche probably knows that many would modify their Boxster/Cayman with a...

Luv2Box, I really like your stripe with the 'Porsche' lettering centered in the space between the wheels even it it ignores the lines of the door. The Boxster has a sort-of 'retro' look to it and...

I like the stripe and am thinking of adding one to my Meteor Grey 987.1 S. Not sure I like the little bit on the front bumper though...think I'd keep it just between the wheels.

The SAAB in the picture is a 2002 9.3 Viggen with a stage 4 tune. A bit of a beast as its a front driver so can be a real handful. Great kayak/bike carrier and winter machine.
