I'm surprised you didn't put new struts on while you had everything apart. I just did new Bilsteins on my 987. The stock ones were definitely shot. Looked just like yours. I'll bet your strut bumpers are completely disintegrated too. Freshening up my struts and all the associated components including new polyurethane bushings for the front and rear sway bars brought the ride quality back to where it was when I bought the thing. A little pricey, but worth it if you're going to keep the car.

Well done, great update, good job you had the seatbelt on at 11:43 😊 Installed PCCM+ head unit in mine and it’s great, you get the nav directions on the dashboard, has to be coded in using PIWIS to display (unless car was provided from factory with nav). Just integrates really well and looks factory, not cheap mind.

For my Clio there's a little box which tricks OEM head unit that there's a cd changer attached. The little magic box has an AUX input. Got a BT receiver plugged in. Can't remember brand, but I'm sure you'll find it if available for Porsches. I think the box communicates to radio via CANBUS or something.

Try a Bluetooth FM transmitter with the original head unit. Can work quite well. I used one for a while in my 986 but ultimately put in a retro style modern Blaupunkt head unit.

If/when you take the door panels off to replace the speakers, make sure to add some Dynamat to the door. This will improve the sound a lot. For the PCM 2.1 you can get a Mr12Volt Bluetooth module that hooks up to the MOST bus, this might be an option for your car as well?

Love the content, really enjoying it. I have severe garage envy. I scrabble about on a cold dusty concrete floor. Anyway onwards and upwards. I will shortly be the proud owner of my first Porsche, a 986 Boxster so I’m particularly interested in your content. Have you considered fitting the spin off oil filter upgrade conversion? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.

As far as the head unit goes, if you do not want to swap for the Porsche Classic model, then see if there is a connection through the optional CD changer?

Is it a Bose system with the fibre optics? If so I installed a Mr12volt into my caymen. Works really well for the option of Bluetooth and Aux. Can also use it for calls using the exciting OEM buttons.

Did you run the stainless hoses all the way from the metal block under the car and right over the gearbox? Did this save you having to drop the gearbox? Where did you connect back to hard lines? Thanks

Yes. I did originally run it with the gearbox off but I had to adjust it and it was fine, albiet it a bit trickier, with the gerarbox on.

Bore score as I understand it only affects the enignes with forged pistons, i.e. the 3.4l and above. Mine has cast pistons that don't epxand, hence no score.

@andrewfuell3254 3 ай бұрын

@@RoadandRacetv Good to know hopefully that’s true, When I was buying mine I was advised by a specialist that all 987 with Alusil or Lokasil engine blocks will suffer cylinder scoring, I didn’t look into it any further as to what models have that engine.
