My trusty steed is in my estate plan. I never tire of the sound of my flat 6 at startup or the joy of driving. It was the stupidest thing I could have done financially when I bought it, and I’ve never regretted buying or owning.by Paralizer - Main Forum
LED upgrade - 1 year ago
My trusty stead is in need of a headlight upgrade. I’ve read a number of articles about retrofitting LED upgrades. I currently have the bixenon lamps but am having trouble figuring out the appropriate led bulb to retrofit. Looking to the board to get an appropriate part recommendation.by Paralizer - Main Forum
The times they are a changing (NBC) - 1 year ago
This popped up on one of my news feeds today. More than a few changes on the production line in the past 37 years. I took that same tour in 08 and it was dramatically different from this video then.by Paralizer - Main Forum

Possible airbag issue - 1 year ago
I came across this article today… Porsche is listed as one of the manufactures affected but unfortunately the list of affected models has not been released. The years affected are 2000-2018. Just wanted to let the board know so that it’s on our collective radar.by Paralizer - Main Forum

Re: Brake sensor 06 987S - 1 year ago
QuotePedro (Odessa, FL) If it's not the pad or the sensor then there's a short in the wiring or the connector. Happy Boxstering, Pedro Is there a way to determine which sensor or wire is the faulty one.by Paralizer - Main Forum
Brake sensor 06 987S - 1 year ago
The brake pad warning sensor keeps going off. A friend of mine has replaced the wiring for the sensor several times but the warning keeps coming on. There is more then adequate brake pad left. Any theories or possible solutions?by Paralizer - Main Forum

Thanks Pedro. Nice to see that the 987’s are becoming increasingly appreciated. After 16 years and 165k I still so enjoy mine.by Paralizer - Main Forum
PCM 3.1 display - 2 years ago
I recently had some work done on my 06 Boxster S. As part of that they had to disconnect the battery. I can’t seem to get the display on my PCM unit to include the date anymore it just shows the radio station and the time. It’s a minor thing but it’s just the way I like to configure my display. I’ve tried everything I can think of referencing the manual and still can’t get the display tby Paralizer - Main Forum
Re: 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans - 3 years ago
So what an amazing experience. If you ever have the chance to attend it is so worth going. It’s actually well organized, I can’t imagine the logistics that go into the event, and it was just fantastic. I’m a bit tech challenged, so hopefully this works. I put together an album of pics and videos. Hope you enjoy them.,by Paralizer - Main Forum
Re: 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans - 3 years ago
Thanks for the tips. I was at the track til 1:30am, I outlasted my camera battery. I did go to the end of Mulsane and Arnage, both were quite the spectacle. Haven’t had a chance to download and sort new pics put I’ll put up a new link when I do.by Paralizer - Main Forum
Re: 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans - 3 years ago
These were the qualifying and practice sessions, other than the Porsche challenge event. Those were Wednesday and Thursday. Today there was a huge increase in the number of people. The race begins at 4 PM tomorrow local time.by Paralizer - Main Forum
2022 24 Hours of Le Mans - 3 years ago
I’m attending the 24 hours of Le Mans, this is so a bucket list item. Thought this group might enjoy some pics I tools the first couple of days. I’m not a great photographer but I think there’s a couple of good ones in the group. The video, the first official race, Porsche Challenge, has a big crash. The driver walked away seemingly fine. You can hear me in the background with the “oh, oby Paralizer - Main Forum

Re: Houston, do we have a problem - 4 years ago
Thanks for the thoughts, seems to be doing ok now. Battery might be getting time to replace as there’s a bit of hesitation on cranking.by Paralizer - Main Forum
Houston, do we have a problem - 4 years ago
When I started my car today it had a slow crank and then when it fired up there was a terrible noise, very loud lifter clatter for several seconds followed by a big puff of blue smoke. The noise only lasted for a few seconds then the idle smoothed out and no discernible issues while driving. The car had been parked for a month while I was out of town. During that time a friend swung by and replacby Paralizer - Main Forum

Re: Conclusion on used BOXSTER PRICES - 4 years ago
To the original poster I offer my apologies as it was not my intent to hijack this thread… The reality of the situation, IMHO, is driven by the fact that between the EU, countries in the Nordic area, and even some states in the US have made the decision that you will no longer be able to sell ICE cars in the very near future. So, whether we like it or not, the days of the ICE are coming to an eby Paralizer - Main Forum
Re: Conclusion on used BOXSTER PRICES - 4 years ago
The following is MY opinion... Used Boxster, especially post IMS, Boxster prices will most likely hold steady and then go up. Even IMS models, especially retrofitted 986 and 987’s built with the updated bearing will most likely hold value long term. My reason for thinking this is the coming switch to electric cars. The simple fact is ICE cars are headed to way of the dodo bird. While I’m sureby Paralizer - Main Forum
