I've read before that Porsche leather is already dried out. It's not suppose to be oiled.

Regardless...mine is 18 years old and is in perfect condition despite the Texas sun and heat.

I have the all-leather interior too on my 986 - it definitely adds quality that the plastic just doesn't have. I look at used 987/981 Caymans and Boxsters all the time and don't understand why more...

Has anybody successfully used the rental tools from Autozone or other FLAPS to remove their rear wheel bearings while keeping the carrier on the car? The SIR tool kit isn't practical to buy for one...

It's on the frunk option list sticker. I'm assuming U.S. since it's was installed by factory on an American car.

Leaky strut - the question is which is the correct replacement?

I've done my own engine swaps but this suspension stuff is making my head spin. I have the 030 code on my 2000 Boxster S. How do I know if this is US or ROW? The Porsche drawings show different...

I test drove 2 Boxsters before I bought one. One had a short shift and one didn't. It's a no brainer upgrade IMHO.

I'm a DIY mechanic so I want the best access to the engine. Plastic. Also as a sporty driver I want the best view. Plastic.

Plastic is more functional. Glass is more cosmetic.

You can use a regular breaker bar and then slide a metal fence post over it. I just did that for my driver side drive axle CV boot replacement.

Torque is math. Don't waste money on a torque wrench.

Does that cover the entire flapper? I thought it's longer than that? That method definitely beats every other method if it gets the job done! Mine has also spit out all the foam. A/C is fine but heat...
