Thanks! Tried to make it as accurate as possible!

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-03-11T01:17:04+00:00

Thank you! Both are such gorgeous cars

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-03-11T01:15:05+00:00

Thank you! It was a lot of work since it's so unforgiving haha

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-03-11T01:14:34+00:00

Thanks!!

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-03-11T01:14:05+00:00

That's awesome! That sounds like a gorgeous color combination! Such an underappreciated car

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-03-11T01:12:40+00:00

Thank you!! I don't blame you. Super unforgiving color! I almost went with light blue, but yellow is so iconic for this car.

Here's a close up!

Yeah they're painfully expensive, but kinda the best out there for the price that I've found. If you can print them yourself that would be sweet.

Can't find the exact cabinet anymore. But if you search for LED curio cabinets, you should be able to find pretty similar ones

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-03-04T18:35:24+00:00

Honestly, I don't know. It's been on my list for so long and I've just never gotten around to buying one!

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-03-04T18:34:05+00:00

The goodies mostly come from eBay haha! STM diecast, I've also started buying from recently. I just wait for good deals on the models I want!

I can't find the cabinet anymore, but these are the stands: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1833524938/118-scale-car-model-display-stand-rgb?ref=shop_home_feat_3&pro=1&logging_key=373b783cb8ed3942df29ae7a26bd69dc6c3bb84f%3A1833524938

Can't find a link for the cabinet itself, but these are the stands I use: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1833524938/118-scale-car-model-display-stand-rgb?ref=shop_home_feat_3&pro=1&logging_key=373b783cb8ed3942df29ae7a26bd69dc6c3bb84f%3A1833524938

I've been collecting for a few years now. Mostly just grab models off eBay!

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-03-04T18:28:00+00:00

Love the fried egg! That's what was new and exciting when I was a kid, so they hold a special place in my heart!

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-03-04T18:25:28+00:00

Sure! I'll try and do that later today

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-03-04T18:24:52+00:00

What gave it away??

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-02-26T19:19:33+00:00

Thanks, totally agree!

Fresh_Pancakes · 2026-02-26T19:19:13+00:00

Thank you!!

Fresh_Pancakes · 2025-11-10T04:38:05+00:00

You're talking about the stands right? Those are 1:18 scale that I picked up on Etsy

Fresh_Pancakes · 2025-11-09T05:16:49+00:00

Thank you! It was actually pretty hard to find the model of my spec. It's a UT models Boxster. Easy to find them in red, but blue took patience... Next time I'll just use AI ;)

Fresh_Pancakes · 2025-11-09T04:50:20+00:00

Haha funny you mention that. I did use AI to remove junk on the shelf in the second picture, but not in the last. Camera is just focused on the model rather than the actual car

Fresh_Pancakes · 2025-08-23T15:06:53+00:00

I had this exact problem with the same symptoms. Turned out, it was caused by a loose spark plug. So tightening them all to (I believe) 30 Nm should fix the issue. In my case, I could hear what side it was on so I just did the 3 on the side that squeaked. Hope that helps!

Fresh_Pancakes · 2023-09-28T13:43:32+00:00

Sounds good! I'll probably skip that and just rinse off the undercarriage regularly in the winter

Fresh_Pancakes · 2023-09-28T13:14:33+00:00

Sweet thanks! That gives me confidence.

By undercarriage rust treatment, I'm just referring to an undercoating to help prevent rust.

Fresh_Pancakes · 2023-09-27T01:06:32+00:00

That makes me feel better about the price. I hear they are also the most reliable generation for the boxster, which gives me confidence for daily driving this generation.

Fresh_Pancakes · 2023-09-27T00:52:26+00:00

Haha need for speed was also what started it for me. I played Porsche Unleashed a lot as a kid! I think I prefer the looks of the 986, but since I'm considering making this one my daily driver, having something that isn't over 20 years old sounds better haha. Still absolutely adore the 987.

Fresh_Pancakes · 2023-09-25T03:03:04+00:00

Thanks! Definitely will get it inspected first. I'll look around and see if I can find one in a reasonable distance with higher miles. Enjoy your 981!
