I know how you feel....

....I went through the exact same issue.

I ended up taking the car to a convertible top specialist. There was a very small, rectangular cloth tab that had come unglued from the top. Once it was...

Coil packs...

...Because of the engine location on the Boxster, the coil packs get splashed by water.

I drive the snot outta my car in all weather.

The coil packs tend to crack from exposure to water as...

Old Car Guy is wise....

....I agree completely with him, and I also own one.

Check out that article.

FWIW, I paid a premium for mine back in 2015. Many would say I overpaid a lot for my car.

There is an old...

No....

When I bought the car in 2015, FSI performed maintenance work in addition to complete engine builds.

They have since stopped performing regular...

Never use aftermarket engine mounts!

The OEM engine mounts are the only way to go.


Just think of them as a wear item that your replace regularly.

All of the aftermarket engine mounts that claim to “firm up shifting” et. al.,...

Old CarGuy....

....That’s awesome!!!!!

I am sooooo jealous.

I just can’t afford the engine build.

I think our cars were side by side at the shop.

We need to get together for a drive.

What would you call “close” to Flat 6?

I shipped my car to them on a flatbed.

I don’t have dyno numbers, sorry.

The tune is actually four different tunes with a hand held controller that...

Only engine mods are deleted secondary cats and the FVD Brombacher “Sound Version” muffler.

Performance Tune installed.....

Just got my 2004 Boxster S “50 Years of 550 Spyder Edition” back from Flat 6 Innovations.

I have one...

....it took me several years to find one.

I stumbled upon a fellow selling his SE and I convinced him to sell me the key ring.

He ended up selling the car shortly thereafter.

I got lucky....

If I remember correctly....

....It is vitally important to use a cluster from a matching transmission cabriolet 996.

That’s the easiest route for OEM look.

Agreed.....

....996 values are climbing as well.

The 986/996 bottomed out in 2015 and have been climbing ever since. That makes sense. They ended production in 2004. So call it ten years after, the...

I’m sorry....

...Our Boxsters go into “Deep Sleep” mode, which the owner’s manual refers to as “Load Switch-Off”, after FIVE days, when locked, not 72 hours as I previously posted.
