Great seeing the extra detail! How about getting one of those Porsche head units that look more vintage

Love that you’re showing ‘real world’ scenarios… I found a caliper bolt held in with Epoxy - new hub and while I’m at it new rear suspension components: there is no such thing as a cheap Porsche!

For my Clio there's a little box which tricks OEM head unit that there's a cd changer attached. The little magic box has an AUX input. Got a BT receiver plugged in. Can't remember brand, but I'm sure you'll find it if available for Porsches. I think the box communicates to radio via CANBUS or something.

Really enjoyed the video, lots of good info. It's great getting a project car back on the road after you've got a load of those niggling jobs sorted. Keep it up

@Jonathan-qz9kd 28 дней назад

I have had a 986 and now I have a 987 just like yours and they are unbelievable cars for the money! A to b on back roads not much can leave even the 2.7 they are so well balanced!

@spyder_man 5 месяцев назад

Well done, great update, good job you had the seatbelt on at 11:43 😊 Installed PCCM+ head unit in mine and it’s great, you get the nav directions on the dashboard, has to be coded in using PIWIS to display (unless car was provided from factory with nav). Just integrates really well and looks factory, not cheap mind.

@RoadandRacetv 5 месяцев назад

Thanks mate. Yes, it suprised me! So want a PCCM+ but not sure I can afford it!

@Snatchwrangler1 3 месяца назад

I'm surprised you didn't put new struts on while you had everything apart. I just did new Bilsteins on my 987. The stock ones were definitely shot. Looked just like yours. I'll bet your strut bumpers are completely disintegrated too. Freshening up my struts and all the associated components including new polyurethane bushings for the front and rear sway bars brought the ride quality back to where it was when I bought the thing. A little pricey, but worth it if you're going to keep the car.

@neworder84 5 месяцев назад

Is it a Bose system with the fibre optics? If so I installed a Mr12volt into my caymen. Works really well for the option of Bluetooth and Aux. Can also use it for calls using the exciting OEM buttons.

@JJL206 5 месяцев назад

Good call on the tire replacements. Porsche says 6 years max, Michelin says 10 max. Definitely don't mix tire brands on a Porsche sports cars!

As far as the head unit goes, if you do not want to swap for the Porsche Classic model, then see if there is a connection through the optional CD changer?

@TheKvistmartin 5 месяцев назад

Congrats on going full time RU-vid, looking forward to the future of the channel. I prefer the longer format as anything below 10.min is to short in my opinion. My only dislike is the music choice you have for the videos. Keep up the good work 👍

@thegeoff9253 5 месяцев назад

Try a Bluetooth FM transmitter with the original head unit. Can work quite well. I used one for a while in my 986 but ultimately put in a retro style modern Blaupunkt head unit.

@kingdomhopemin 5 месяцев назад

Love the content, really enjoying it. I have severe garage envy. I scrabble about on a cold dusty concrete floor. Anyway onwards and upwards. I will shortly be the proud owner of my first Porsche, a 986 Boxster so I’m particularly interested in your content. Have you considered fitting the spin off oil filter upgrade conversion? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.

@RoadandRacetv 5 месяцев назад

@tobiaswittwer9398 5 месяцев назад

If/when you take the door panels off to replace the speakers, make sure to add some Dynamat to the door. This will improve the sound a lot. For the PCM 2.1 you can get a Mr12Volt Bluetooth module that hooks up to the MOST bus, this might be an option for your car as well?

@RoadandRacetv 5 месяцев назад

Big thanks for the Dynamat tip Tobias. WIll get some ordered. Will look into the Mr12Volt option - is that what you have?

@911hillclimber 5 месяцев назад

A really nice run of Video's. I have a Gen 2 987, but lots still relavent. Maybe add the torque levels us use when doing the jobs? Good luck with the 'new' job!

@markb4 4 месяца назад

@stephenjlangford2451 5 месяцев назад

@pjay3028 5 месяцев назад

Did you run the stainless hoses all the way from the metal block under the car and right over the gearbox? Did this save you having to drop the gearbox? Where did you connect back to hard lines? Thanks

@RoadandRacetv 5 месяцев назад

Yes. I did originally run it with the gearbox off but I had to adjust it and it was fine, albiet it a bit trickier, with the gerarbox on.

Looks like you may have this issue with you top not seating properly within the frame. The fix is pretty simple - you can add new elastic or just tighten the existing strap which has lost its elasticity. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5ZN8ffDBZqc.htmlsi=nxEhZLEVJq0qXaxx

have you checked that car for bore score ? From what I have seen it’s not a if but when on 987

@RoadandRacetv 5 месяцев назад

Bore score as I understand it only affects the enignes with forged pistons, i.e. the 3.4l and above. Mine has cast pistons that don't epxand, hence no score.

@andrewfuell3254 5 месяцев назад

@@RoadandRacetv Good to know hopefully that’s true, When I was buying mine I was advised by a specialist that all 987 with Alusil or Lokasil engine blocks will suffer cylinder scoring, I didn’t look into it any further as to what models have that engine.
