I've had 2 IMS failures. One in an'02 2.7 and another in a 3.2 Anniversary Edition. - 3 years ago
.....neither was very inconvenient. One happened a block away from home at 6K miles. The other about 10 miles from home at 62K miles.by dennisafrompa - Main Forum

had an Anniversary Edition Boxster S '04. IMS failed. Nissan 350 Z followed then a Mustang Bullitt. Over 5 years ago I got back to Porsche with and '08 Cayman. Best car I ever owned even with 88K on it when purchased.by dennisafrompa - Main Forum

They are Starke SC18s from Tire Rack. A little heavy but have proven to be durable.by dennisafrompa - Main Forum
Had this for about 4 years now. - 3 years ago
Thought i'd let all know I'm still on this side of the grass and have returned to the P-cars. I've put 30K miles on it since purchased and it now has 120K. Only issue has been a variocam sensor. Original clutch, shifter cables, water pump and AOS. Added Faux Fuchs wheels. .by dennisafrompa - Main Forum

Re: 10 Years & 150,000 Miles Later... - 5 years ago
I'm impressed. My '08 Cayman has 111,000 miles on it and has it's original clutch, AOS and water pump, so I guess I should get ready for those issues sometimes soon. I like cars that are used and the people the drive them.by dennisafrompa - Main Forum

....zip tie to the rescue. Noise gone, I'm happy.by dennisafrompa - Main Forum
Re: Rock in one of the inner brake cooling shields? - 5 years ago
Yes I've had that before but that noise was more a steady screech and Of course I can't duplicate when I manually spin jacked up rear end.by dennisafrompa - Main Forum
Old school look with Fuchs Replicas. - 5 years ago
Not without an issue though: After wheels were mounted I drove around to reset TPMS and was successful, speeded up to 90 mph on the run. Got the car washed then parked in garage. When going down the alley the next day I heard a noise kind like something metallic was rubbing on each wheel revolution and continued till it was drowned out by exhaust traffic and wind noise. I jacked up the rear, whiby dennisafrompa - Main Forum

Re: Porsche CEO expects German automaker to only sell electric vehicles starting in 2030 - 6 years ago
My Cayman may only have 250K on it by then and I'll be a creaky 88, so maybe I don't care.by dennisafrompa - Main Forum
worked for my Cayman VIN. - 6 years ago
I'm guessing my Cayman was one of the last 987.1 2.7s made. It's build date was 11 DEC 2008. It was placed onto service in mid-JAN of 2009. It was a lightly optioned car that sticked for just a tick over $53K. The 18' S wheels were a good selection. I bought it in 2015 and have put 25K miles on it since then.by dennisafrompa - Main Forum

Coolant drip 2008 Cayman 2.7 - 6 years ago
Looks like it's been leaking for about a week or so based on the marks on the garage concrete. Had to add about a quart to get it up to MAX. The drip is just behind the front wheel well about where the door begins on the driver's (left) side. The car has 105,000 miles on it, 19K of which I've put on it in my 2 years of ownership, celebrated this week. I've had no other issues although I did reby dennisafrompa - Main Forum
Re: Just realized after going through the Chuck PPBB thread - PPBB was started exactly 20 years ago - 6 years ago
There is no substitute? After a short test drive in my Cayman, I realized I'd forgotten what a Porsche feels like to drive. After a 7 year hiatus I was again hooked. I've been enjoying the last 2 years driving it rain, shine and snow. I have Winter tires and rarely let weather stop me.by dennisafrompa - Main Forum
Re: Just realized after going through the Chuck PPBB thread - PPBB was started exactly 20 years ago - 6 years ago
I've been around since March of '99. 3 Boasters, one 350Z, one Mustang Bullitt and a 2008 Cayman later, we're still here.by dennisafrompa - Main Forum
