My story with the 986 Boxster

I think many of us on here are car enthusiasts, and I define that simply as one who pays extra attention to cars and enjoys driving - sometimes for no particular reason but just to drive.

Looks good! It definitely does change the look of the original top though with the smaller window, but that glass is so much better than plastic.

So just so I understand correctly, my base 2001 can have either the single or double bearing right? No way to really know? My car was first sold around July of 2001.

Do you ever feel like the Boxster is better....with the top up?

Ok, it's fun with the top down on a nice day, but for me the boxster isn't a cruiser, but a redlining, winding road carver.

So I had the top down today, and then I put it up.

Car felt much...

Can't stop brake noise, help!

I have a bottle of those - I didn't use it because someone said they tend to melt and get really sticky to the calipers.

Can't stop brake noise, help!

Ok, noise won't stop, so I'm thinking of buying textar pads to replace these Mintex.

I bedded them, put anti squeal twice, but no change.

Could it be my rotors (new balo) causing the noise?

2001 with 56k - still on the original clutch and fluid. Clutch seems fine and no slippage, but I am sure a brand new clutch would feel a bit different.

Can't stop brake noise, help!

I did try to bed them twice, and have put 1300 miles on them. I'll try again, but what else could be the issue? Pads were a tight fit putting in, could the pistons be too tight on them?

How often do you consider trading up to a newer Boxster?
