DIY mechanics that have owned both 986 and 987

I have a 987.1 cayman and a 986 boxster. There really isn't all that much difference. It's a bit harder to reach in the top of the engine compartment with the cayman due to the hatchback.

Agreed. I also own both and have done various work on them including clutches. Very similar vehicles.
