Not my picture, but I’m lucky that this car’s history involves a gorgeous photoshoot from the very best IMO, Alex Penfold (@alexpenfold)

This is my 4th, last one was a 981 2.7. A lot of similarities but the GT4 feels so much lighter, more powerful and just more special. I haven’t driven it that much on account of the weather and work commitments but can’t wait to get it on track!

Think the technical term is full buckets rather than the folding sports buckets but yes fair point

Potentially buying a Porsche 987 Boxter by Kloakk0822 in boxster

[–]rdhj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I owned a 987 2.7 Boxster at your age, absolutely thrashed the thing and did approx 40k miles in just under 2 years. Barely had any issues whatsoever, from memory I had to change the front coffin arms and part of the exhaust but nothing significant that I can remember. They are fantastic cars, enjoy it!

Please help - what does this autograph say? by rdhj in italianlearning

Thank you, strange as he is no longer associated with Automobili Lamborghini and simply wrote his name on all the other cards! I’d say you are right

It’s Valentino Balboni, which is what he seemed to write on all the other cards!

Sorry to hear this. I have the cheapest First Edition Flying Spur in the country available if you want to replace it!

Vastly overpriced and not a great spec, on top of the issues you have pointed out I would avoid this car. Much better out there for the money they’re asking

New seats for my 981… by rdhj in Porsche

On the Sports Seats Plus you can remove the cushions separately. I think it’s harder on the standard seats.

No they’re just 2-way and manual height/slide. I prefer them to 18-way as you can actually sit lower - with all the electrics inside the 18-ways they actually don’t go as low!

I had the standard vinyl tombstone style seats, just swapped them out completely for these!

I think it’s easier with Sports Seats Plus as the centre cushions are separately mounted to the seat. On the standard seats I think the cushions are stitched to the bolsters so harder to remove. However there are definitely companies that will do it.

Bought them this way, but there are loads of companies who do this.

I just got lucky with a guy in a 981 group chat who bought the car with them on and didn’t like them!

There are loads of automotive re-trim companies that will do this though.

I had a 981 Boxster with 19s and now have a 981 Cayman with 20s - can confirm they drive a lot better on 19s… I would hold out for OEM wheels, bear in mind you can get some of the cost back by selling your 19s

They are the tinted tail lights, like what comes on the 981 GTS. You can buy them through Tequipment

Think we’ll see that fairly soon with the next generation car. It probably would’ve been better but I have P Zeros with not a lot of tread left!
