Re: High revving 3.2: what is needed?

Gearbox - what about a 986 Boxster 2.5 5 speed gearbox? There's a guy raced a 986 in rallycross (or similar) with 2.5 5 speeder and that was connected to a 400bhp Turbo'd Audi V6. There's also a 986 racer running the same gearbox in a relatively "free" track series - that car's engine (wha...

Re: Machining 930 rear calipers for non-Turbo cars - where?

Hello everybody, I recently bought a set of 930 calipers and would like to have the rears machined to fit a non-Turbo trailing arm, so basically old ears milled off and new ones drilled etc, like this: http://www.vehiclecraft.com/Brakes/930T_mod.htm In the US a few vendors like VCI, Rebel Racing an...

Re: 944 Turbo alloy spare wheel

Appreciate the heads-up, have just purchased it.

Have 951 Fuchs on the front of my SC so a 951 spare will give me the caliper clearance I need.

Thanks

Re: Engine oil condition: what are your thoughts?

This may lead to me fitting a big Boxster drive train if it goes bang this year....... ......325 bhp and a red line of 7800 and a fast changing box! As I mentioned elsewhere there'll be something Boxster shaped that's road going and may be interesting for you to have a look at which covers these po...

Re: Tokyo Bleep.

Yep, saw that it was cleared a few weeks back - based on the last few posts before they all disappeared I think it was TB's response to Tumblr's latest policies over image content.

Re: Boxster: 987.2 steering rack play?

Thank you Map. The car runs arrow straight at all speeds (I've driven), hands off stable at 70. Just when driving at any speed there seems to be a spot that is uncertain dead ahead. I'll get the cat to Zuffenhaus for a check first before messing about. It just might be this way by design as Gary sa...

Re: Boxster: 987.2 steering rack play?

Trying this question on here as a few have Boxsters. The steering does not have that 'telepathic' feel to it, and feels a bit rubbery when steering though long long bends and on motorways. Slightly vague. From your description this is happening at "motorway speeds". If so take a look unde...

Re: 1970 Bay (Outlaw-ish)

Certainly do not wish to dampen anything, but are those head lamps ok for the year and the MoT? I seem to remember someone had an MoT issue on his 'led' TR6 and it made the classic car press. Sorry if I am wrong. I think the TR6 issue was with bulb replacement in existing units. Could be wrong. The...

Re: Help with a colour please

DDK rocks! defianty / Stephen nailed it - did a search on Aquamarine Blue 5707 and any number of examples turn up. And as everyone has said the blues can look very different.
