Second that

yes! i never think of yellow for a motor, but as soon as he mentioned the wrap i said 'yellow' =)

Ferry Porsha, I put a full Milltek on my 05 BS, along with a ECU tune, lightweight flywheel and underdrive pulley, short shifter too. 144,000 miles now, I’ll never sell her.

Cheers matey 😁

Think I've decided to keep it black, just gonna lower it slightly

My signature colour 😂😍 cant do it a 3rd time surely

Like why? I also had a z4m and I didn’t spend a lot of money maintaining it.

@@Eidrian111 Did you do a lot of the work on it yourself? Mine ended up having some massive bills last year. £3400 had to be spent, as I couldn't do the work myself due to spinal damaged I suffered in my late 20's/

Dan Allnatt damn, I just did the oil changes myself everything else my mechanic did. What went wrong with yours?

@@Eidrian111 I needed new rotar on the front, plus pads, new springs all round, rear brake lines replaced, some of the mounts/boots needed replacing, full service plus valve clearances, other bits and bobs. The car had ticked over 100k which as you know means so much stuff needs sorting out. Also needed tyres etc. I've now got a E82 135i with 486bhp and 500flb , which I am wanting to turn into a 1M clone.

mines got 92k miles on and has been very reliable, so far

It's a 3.2 and not too worried about the IMS as it only affected 8% of boxsters but will have it checked at some point for piece of mind

That's not strictly correct! 986's within certain years were potentially at risk with this issue but it only applies to very early 987s. It’s therefore worth knowing some facts about the IMS issue because it was blown out of all proportion & to date I’ve only come across a few 987 owners who it happened to so it’s not the epidemic that some would have you believe or all Boxster (986/987), 911 (996/997) & Cayman (987) owners would be in serious trouble, which is far from the case! I’ll summarise the main points below but you’ll need to know which Model Year the car is in order to apply the following: You can tell which MY the car is by looking at the car’s VIN / Chassis number. If it’s a MY 2005 then it could have either the smaller Dual-Row IMS Bearing which had a global failure rate of about 8% (according to the information published by the Eisen IMS Class Action Lawsuit), or the stronger larger Single-Row Bearing as fitted to the MY2006! Again, according to the said lawsuit, the transition point between the different bearings was 21st February 2005, in that cars built after this date should have the larger bearing. If it is a MY 2006 onwards car, then it’ll have the revised much larger Single-Row IMS Bearing for sure which has the same load capacity of the original Dual-Row Bearing (as fitted to pre-2001 models), which have been found to have a less than 1% failure rate. However, due to the newer & improved design of this revised bearing, we now know that it can take a ton more load & has to date been the most reliable version of the IMS Bearing we've seen as since it was introduced during 2005, I'm only aware of 3 engine failures using this revision as of today! There is however one caveat to this & that is if the car has already had a replacement engine in which case one will need to know what engine & bearing was used as the replacement. Of course, you maybe lucky in that the previous owner having already replaced the bearing. If you find a good independent specialist, the cost of the work & parts aren't that expensive. These cars are actually more reliable & cheaper to maintain than an equivalent BMW. This is why I would recommend getting the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity or Production as it’s now called which will reveal the actual factory build date & the serial number of the original engine which you can cross check against what you see in your car currently.

Never did anything to the exhaust in the end. Car was lowered on h&r springs. I also made a video on this 👍

How has it taken 10 months for someone to agree/lol at this? 😬😂

I preferred my z4 35is to be honest 😂

It's pretty quiet

I meant it's a facelift from the 986. Probs the wrong terminology Haha my bad

Alex Nduaguibe on the S54 engine which is a heavy block you will notice the difference when you drive the boxster S, even when you drive Z4 3.0 Si with a light engine block you will notice the difference with your current car Z4. However the 2.7 will be slightly underpowered in comparison with your car. The Boxster 3.2 will be marginally more powerful than the Z4 Si but will more powerful than the Z4 3.0. I have been through these car and now assessing Cayman S against my 3.0 Si coupe as a possible replacement.

@@MrRoyck10 He never said he had a Z4M. Just a Z4 3.0i so probably an M54B30. The truth is moving to a 3.2S or even a 3.4S will be a bit faster in a straight line over time but the real benefit of a mid engine sportscar is how it can carry speed through the corners. Mid engined cars are like witchcraft if you've only driven massive front engined cars through twisty roads. Engine at the front has large angular momentum. It's hard to turn. Heavy person on one end of the see saw Mid engined car. All the weight is central to the whole layout. Much less force to change the direction and momentum of the car. Better handling. To test this get on a spinning stool and put your hands out wide. Make someone spin your then pull your hands in. You will spin faster since less energy is required to make you spin. Cars work the same. Central mass is good for cornering. Luv and Peace.

Still have some dolla left 😂

I’ve sold it now but I didn’t at the time due to having a company car

Such a cool car I love it 😁

Xiolage I had a 987 2.7 2005 did 2 European road trips in it trashed the shit out of it , did 30k in it , sold it with 110k on the clock , problems springs break electric widow regulators break , second gear synchro went in gearbox , was the 5 speed great starter Porsche , there was no ims bearing issues with it , always serviced with Mobil 1 , did all the brake pads and discs myself, eats front discs and pads , I’m sure the key to Porsche is they need to be driven hard , I have sold it now and have a 987.2 3.4 pdk there was only one way to go ,

@Xiolage Actually you got it backwards. The base caymans are more reliable than the S

None of your business 😂😂😂

Fancied a change

@@be1441 Ben you were just revealing the Boxster the day after you’d purchased it. You said it was the colour combo you’d be looking for which is why I asked the question if you’d only just got what you’d been looking for why would you at that point even be considering a change of colour. Anyhow from looking at your later videos I see you sold it so I guess its irrelevant now

Will see what I can do 😜

Through my many searches for this car never did I find a Boxster S with that milage for that cheap

Yeah harder you don’t have a clue haha, 89k isn’t much these days

@@everythingcarsishere5110 ..... here is a very clever guy who knows nothing about Porsche's. Dont reply if you have nothing nice to say

Haider Sohail look at my profile, I owned a 911 hahaha

As of today, you won't find a 987S with low millage for less than around £10k privately, at least about £2k more from a reputable dealer with a warranty! You will find a 986S which is the previous gen or a 987 2.7 for that price. I'm also taking about ones which still have all the original bodywork because I've come across cheap 987S which have been involved in accidents & apart from difficulties insuring them, no Porsche enthusiast will touch with a barge poll. Incidentally, I'm well connected with the dealer network, Porsche approved repair centres & the PCGB.
