    This is an engine out job. So, budget about $3,000.

    Just another quick question on this... Is this strictly to protect the interior and trunks against moisture, or should I also be placing a few large bags under the car to prevent moisture on the underside of the car. My garage floor does not sweat and has been sealed with epoxy, however there will be moisture in the garage from snow on the other cars melting etc... Thanks again White! Dan Dan, that is an excellent question. I have full leather and a few sycamore wood accents in my 987S. I like the use of the desiccator bags to protect the interior. I throw a few in the trunks just to keep everything clean & dry. And yes, I do park on a large plastic painting tarp from Home Depot. Try to find one about 3-4 mils thick. I failed to mention this in my "Tips" above.

    Not necessarily. I doubt they did the brake fluid.
  4. White987S
    $225 for an oil change is the going rate at the dealership. Brake fluid be changed every 2 years, so on your 2007 you are pretty close to your due date. This will be about $150-250 at a dealership. I store my car for the winter with excellent results. I don't touch the car for 5+ months. Here are some other additional winter storage tips: -Very clean with fresh wax -Car Cover -Park on hard dense rubber matts/tile. Buy at Home Depot. Rubber tile you'd see in a gym's weight room - Buy about 8-12 1-pound industrial dessicator bags. To absorb moisture and protect leather (and any wood) interior. Put 1 or 2 each in the trunks. -Block wheels, don't use e-brake -Move car beginning of every month about 8-12 inches -In Spring, when you go for the first start, put in 5th gear, and push car until you hear the engine manually turn over and and take a few "breaths". Then start with the key.

    Do you want to mount a phone in your car? Or do blue-tooth? What about a cell phone in your pocket. Nice car!
  6. White987S
    Maintenance free? It may be. But, what about the charge? That's what the battery maintainer will do for you. Keep your battery very healthy. How ofter do you drive your car?
  7. White987S
    I have used many leather care products. The best so far are from www.colorplus.com. I think Zaino's Z10 "Leather in a Bottle" is pretty good too for easy touch-up maintenance.
  8. White987S
    Smak, now go buy a quality battery maintainer, (not a trickle charger) and extend the life of that big $$$$ new battery. When parked in your garage, plug in.
  9. White987S
    Congrats! What about alcantra? Is this available in the '10TT like the GT3's have?
  10. White987S
    I'd change 'em. In the scope of things, plugs are cheap, and play a huge role. Ask for the old plugs back, so you can inspct them.
  11. White987S
    Did you try RUF's web site?
  12. White987S
    Fast Eddie, make sure you pack a large, thick mil, garbage bag with your spare tire supplies. This may come in handy to put the damaged tire in to keep your leather clean.
  13. White987S
    Well, that's a good question. I thought all 'S' brakes (with red calipers and oversize rotors) were PCCB's, but maybe not. Those boxes of brake parts seem awfully heavy for light weight PCCB's! I'll check my order from Sunset. Good call! PCCB have yellow capilers, not red. If you paid Sunset over $8K for those two 50 pounds boxes, then they are PCCB's. Most likely you had steel for about $1K. PCCB pads are just slightly more than steel (approx. 30%). It's the rotors that kill ya! They are over $4k each to replace.

    You're welcome. Just do a search for "towing with Boxster" and you will see the hits. One guy (from the above pictures) had a little DIY write-up.
  15. White987S
    Ed, there is a lot of this info over on Rennlist:
  16. White987S
    Boxster 986 1997-2004 Boxster 987.1 2005-2008 Boxster 987.2 2009- Porsche claims about an 80% re-design (body, engine, brakes, tranny, interior suspension, ....etc.) for the 987 over the old 986.
  17. White987S
    Holy crap... But think of the money you'll save on wheel cleaner, wheel wax, and cleaning time!

    Moosey, you are not a worthy 993 owner. :) You need to drive that bad-boy more. There are people that would gladly donate a kidney or a testicle to own an air cooled legend! You are a lucky man. (Loren are we allowed to say the "T" word :P )

    Most days I feel like a little kid! :P Unfortunetly, some days I dress a little bit like my dad. :o
  22. White987S
    Loren, you are correct, but I am keying in on Hjacobs2000's use of the word "exact" in his question. So, I may be reading too much into his question. If he does want in fact an exact date, is this only on the COA? Thanks.
  23. White987S
    You can also purchase a Cert. of Authenticity from PCNA. I think the door jamb sticker just gives the month and year (I need to re-check mine for sure). So, if you want an exact date, the COA will tell you more detailed info.
  24. White987S
    I have been using Red Line 5W40 for the last 3 years and 30,000 miles. Yearly oil changes. Very pleased with product. And my oil analysis last year look excellent.
  25. White987S
    Think about it, two working rear fog lights would be called "brake lights". If they both light (as rear fog lights), how would the person behind you know when you were braking? The repair shop is correct.
