Excited to share that my Boxster Spyder was featured in the April issue with the incredible Michael Alan Ross behind the lens. Article reinforces what I already knew, this generation of Spyder is extra special.

Agreed, the finish on the exposed interior of the cam cover appears to be holding on. The seals have not been removed in the photo. Does this indicate a plan to re-install the cover without further removing / disturbing anything?

The seals for the spark plugs and the two plastic plugs (remnants ...

Update :thumbup:
I was able to remove the cam cover without issue and my buddy Erik, who had had a similar situation with his 928, was able to gently remove the broken end with a pick and small hammer. I have to say I am totally impressed by how well everything came apart and how good everything ...

Thanks @dr bob and @barnwerks for the incredibly helpful and quick responses! This is just the information I was looking for and totally curious what the underside of the cover looks like. I'll post a picture when I get it off.

So.... I decided to tighten the 5mm cam cover bolts on my '89 S2 and one of the center ones felt way looser than it should've and sure enough it was sheared off at the base of threads. I think it was time to change the cover gasket anyway. Any other "while your in there" things I should look at?

Motosport Did you get this figured out? I just completed a similar project on my 89 944 S2 including adding a resistor to fool the airbag system. Happy to share my notes if helpful.


As the title says, I have bought a secondhand clubsport steering wheel to go in my 968, replacing the oem airbag ...

After using it for several weeks I am still pretty bullish about it.

@miggytosh

Thanks for the review. Can the purple buttons be changed to amber/orange? And can the unit be set a little deeper into the console? It’ll look cleaner that way and perhaps @Tom can 3D print a face plate cover for it to keep it from prying 👀 eyes!


Apologies for the slow response ...

Although I really loved the Blaupunkt Memphis Stereo in my 89 S2, I also really enjoy the Porsche Roads app, Rallista and other niceties that come with hand free Wireless CarPlay. After googling single DIN CarPlay, I decided to take a chance on a $140 Power Acoustiks unit that is exclusive to ...

Happy for this thread as my S2 is suffering from this issue and it’s one of my spring to-dos.
