Re: Great question - 8 months ago
I don't agree with the assessment that a replaced IMS doesn't bring value to a used Boxster. In my experience it does. When I do a PPI and point out that the particular car has a particular IMS Bearing Kit installed and that the value should be adjusted upwards by $X.XX the buyers almost never complain or argue with it. I also tell people that installing a quality IMS Bearing Kit inby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

Re: Tires - 8 months ago
I love the top-tier Korean tires: Kumho and Hankook. They are great summer tires and better in the rain (that we get so much of in Tampa during the summer) than just about any other brand, and yet they cost a lot less than the N-rated. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

Re: Holy sh--! - 10 months ago
The original metal hood would have killed me, no doubt. Doing 75 mph when that opens, there's no stopping it. As I stated in the article, the original hood would have taken out the windshield and would have cracked my skull. The structure is identical on both carbon fibre and metal. Hood pins would have prevented it, for sure. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

Re: Question for you Pedro.. - 10 months ago
Rev matching just takes practice. It's really simple. When you are going to slow down for a turn and you're coming down from high RPMs, as you get off the gas to get on the brakes then clutch the RPMs can drop by 2,000 or 3,000. The trick is to blip the accelerator with your right foot without loosing pressure on the brake pedal in order to bring the RPMs up about 1,000 so that whenby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
Re: Repair window delimating from top - 10 months ago
There's a special bonding process that uses high temp and pressure. This can only be done by the manufacturer. If you have a GAHH top, their bonding is guaranteed for life. If you have another top there's no warranty. There's no glue that you can use that'll be a permanent bond. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
Re: Your original clutch lasted 200k miles?!... - 10 months ago
I'm on my original clutch (280K miles) Of those miles I estimate that 78K are track miles. If you rev-match when shifting and don't do all-out launches, your clutch never wears. But, having said that I know it's not the norm. I've replaced many customer clutches with as little as 20K miles. The worse you can do to a clutch is leave your left foot resting on the pedal.by Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
Re: Final Mileage Total - 10 months ago
What a shame Douglas! You did get a good run though. I'm at 298K and change. Not driving even 3,000 miles/year. Let's see when the pandemic is over if I can ramp up the miles again. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

Re: Oil Light on and oil level correct - 10 months ago
As has been noted, that indicator is an oil pressure light which goes bright when oil pressure drops. When you look at the oil level gauge, the one that comes on after you fill up, every bar is NOT one quart, and the bottom most bar is not empty. The gauge only shows the final 2.5 quarts. So, each bar is equivalent to 1/3 qt. You should leave blank the topmost bar. That shows full. If you adby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

Welcome to PedrosBoard! Congrats on our 987.2. It's a wonderful machine that should offer a great deal of enjoyment. Regarding the clamshell not closing equally on both sides, my guess would be that the two transmissions are probably not correctly synchronized. I see that quite a bit.

Re: good Porsche VIN Decoder site: - 11 months ago
VIN Decoder sights don't work on older cars because their build information is not digitized and online. The only way you can get a reliable build sheet for a '77 Porsche is to purchase the Certificate of Authenticity (Certificate of Origin) from any Porsche Dealer.
