All but official…goodbye ICE and 3 pedals - 8 weeks ago

Re: Houston, do we have a problem - 7 months 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 - 7 months 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 - 10 months 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 - 10 months 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 surby Paralizer - Main Forum

Re: The car has logic - 1 year ago
QuoteBoxsterra to turn on and off the sensor so that the light doesn't flash. So sometimes the light stays on after sensors are replaced. But if it doesn't go off eventually then likely one of the sensors is bad or not properly connected. The circuit just measures continuity, which you can do yourself with a continuity tester on each wheel to narrow down the problem. You don't evenby Paralizer - Main Forum
Re: Sensor is basically just a fancy wire - 1 year ago
QuoteBoxsterra When the pad wears down to the sensor wire, the wire wears down. Before the wire is worn all the way through the brake wear light may come on and go off intermittently. To fix it you can either solder the wire back together or replace the sensor. The sensors aren't very expensive and are easy to replace. Yeah my friend installed new sensors yesterday and it’s still thby Paralizer - Main Forum
Brake wear sensor - 1 year ago
Recently a friend changed out my worn brake pads. He didn’t get the brake wear sensors at that time. He received them the other day and I went over to get the old ones pulled our and new ones in. The sensors plugged in with no problem and the other portion inserted into the pad opening. When I first restarted the car all looked good but as soon as I released the e-brake the brake wear sensor trby Paralizer - Main Forum
Don’t ya just hate it when your rubber breaks - 1 year ago
Hey a little levity is what we all need these days, but I digress. A friend of mine put in a new set of brakes on my trusty steed recently while I was out of the country. He sent me this picture of the rubber that surrounds the struts on my 06, PASM equipped, 987S. Is it possible to just replace the rubber surrounds or will I need to swap out the entire strut?

Re: Well said! - 2 years ago
QuoteMikenOH Now if they can just do the right thing and put a flat 6 in the base and S models, all will be right with this platform. Sadly I don’t anticipate that mainly because of the new EU emissions regulations.by Paralizer - Main Forum

For you cyclists on the board...has anyone come across a bike rack that will work on a 987? All the ones I see look like the spoiler would interfere with the straps. If you know of a workable solution please advise.by Paralizer - Main Forum
Broken height adjuster - 2 years ago

Re: nothing. The demographics are pretty different. - 2 years ago
QuoteJMstamford,ct I know few people who cross shop the two cars. If you want a Vette, it is like a battle axe. A Boxster is more like a cavalry saber. I doubt that will change. With prior generations of Corvette’s I would agree. But, and with GM’a history it’s definitely a big but, this new midengine Vette could have an impact. It has a whole new suspension configuration and signifiby Paralizer - Main Forum

I bought a new car, and it wasn’t a Boxster. Several months ago I came ohhhh so close to pulling the trigger on a CPO 981GTS 6 speed in sapphire blue. At the last moment, and for a variety of reasons, I didn’t go forward. Now, several months later I’ve taken delivery of a ‘19 Mazda MX5 30th anniversary edition. It’s my 5th Miata and it is unlike any I’ve had before. The interior is stby Paralizer - Main Forum
