Actuator, or solenoid? Are the Variocam Plus actuators removable without removing the valve cover like on the earlier 986.1? Solenoid removal seems easy; little difference from a plug and coil and an...

Right got all that, I didn’t see the brown top in your post first pic which is the giveaway it’s a 550 not an arctic with 550 wheels.

Anyone else got some painted Carrera IIs? Would love to see...

For 1997-2002 it’s easy, you can buy an aftermarket head unit and install. With those years however it’s trickier if you have Bose as...

I wonder if the variocam solenoid is failing here, as ~5000 is when it kicks over to the high RPM profile. At least being a 986.2 it's easier to replace than the earlier models (it can be removed...

Ask for transparency on the part cost, as the labor addition is negligible since the clutch AND flywheel already have to come out to get at the IMS. If they're quoting $300 on labor ask them to...

They say I need to drive it 1500-2000 miles before the synchro and associated parts break-in. I've only driven 750 or so since so I will give it time. Plus the weather is warming which will help,...

Sadly the answer here is Miata. I've owned 4. Not at all shabby cars, but the cost of owning/operating/modding is peanuts. Plus they go together like Legos.
