that's probably a better answer than what I was going to suggest...to increase downforce (or is that to decrease lift)by SMILIN - Main Forum
that is REALLY misplaced. it loosely clips to the arm of the clamshell. i’ll upload a picture soon.by SMILIN - Main Forum
thanks. i'll post more pics soon. she's still at the beauty salon.by SMILIN - Main Forum
thanks folks. i drove the car 68 miles, then dropped it off at the detailer. MORE WAITING! the spyder doesn’t have the different performance modes…it’s always in “sport +”. in my 2016 boxster gts, the routine was to start the car and hit sport plus (also enabled auto-blip and pse and pasm sport)…auto start/stop is off persistently. the new spyder routine will be to start the car, giby SMILIN - Main Forum
I never really thought that the orange PB hat matched my silver 986, so I took action! Over two years since mentioning to my dealer that I wanted to order the rumored 6 cyl Boxster, and 4 months of waiting since submitting my configuration, introducing SMILIN2: 6MT, heated seats, LEDs, Burmester, leather…everything possible to classify this car as an old man’s country cruiser.

unsure if there’s an inside joke there, but bob is alive and well!by SMILIN - Main Forum
i assume the GTS 4.0 is on the floor. Wipe the sweat and go see it. Bring your checkbook! Good luck. The upgrade makes no financial sense whatsoever. But you already knew that. The 981 S is a great car to keep forever, so it's hard to lose.by SMILIN - Main Forum
200hp in my ‘98 was enough for the street…99% of the time 330hp in my ‘16 was too much for the street…99% of the time 414hp…i hope to let you know in a few months …should be about right…until some 918 inspired model with 500 dino-powered is available for the right price!by SMILIN - Main Forum
let’s say 30-35 for your S, and full msrp for the new car. whatchyagonnado? i don’t know trade in values, but carmax, and several internet dealers will give you a price without much work.by SMILIN - Main Forum

i agree...avoid being washed into the ocean! turned around just past san simeon (at the elephant seal look out). road was marked as closed ahead...unsure where exactly. back to pismo beach for the night, then back to sacramento yesterday. lots of driving...lots to see...love this car.by SMILIN - Main Forum

i’m not familiar with how far back it has details. my 2016 has a full option list. my 1998 is a summary only.by SMILIN - Main Forum
i agree that the springs were the cause of the “very communicative” ride. both old and new h&r springs lower the car about 1” no slack with any of the combos i’ve used. dan, thanks for the confirmation. i haven’t been driving much so am losing track...and/or losing my mind dougby SMILIN - Main Forum
B6 is what my shop recommended. Parts installed: #22-046215 and #22-046222 FYI: On my '98, I used new B6 with US M030 springs from a '00 S for two years and found the ride jarring. Every bump was a tooth rattler. Car rattled like never before. I just switched to new H&R springs with the same B6 struts. While I barely have 100 miles on the set, the H&R springs sure seem to reduce theby SMILIN - Main Forum
i don’t know enough to say whether this is right or wrong, but my shop recommended bilstein B6 to go with M030 springs (from a 2000 S to go on my 98). after driving 20 years on the stock struts from M030 and H&R springs, i found the ride harsh with M030 springs and B6 struts. i’m back to B6 struts and new H&R springs. i swear i feel the benefit of a slightly less jarring ride with thby SMILIN - Main Forum
sorry to hear about the car. hope you’re ok.by SMILIN - Main Forum
that’s a fine approach if you’re not the original owner. for original owners, i’m sticking with the day you hand over the cash, start the car and drive awayby SMILIN - Main Forum
