He wants a convertible and he also wants to get out on the track. Plans on taking some driving courses and doing some DEs and AutoX.

I told him I don't think he could do anything but street drive with the Spyder roof because it doesn't look like it would clear a roll hoop.

Thoughts on the Spyder's roof?

At what events can you drive a Boxster at "as-is," without a roll hoop. DEs? AutoX?

Is a roll hoop about all that's necessary for him to add to a Boxster for it to be eligible for "lapping days" (no timers or competitive passing)? ]]> 987 Forum porschefig http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/987-forum/535836-tracking-the-boxster.html SRP Pedals for the 987- 20% off http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/987-forum/535766-srp-pedals-for-the-987-20-off-new-post.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:07:29 GMT Hello, If you haven’t seen my other threads, my company is SRP Racing.

If you haven’t seen my other threads, my company is SRP Racing. We are an official Rennlist sponsor. We have been making racing pedals since 1995, almost 15 years.
www.srpracing.com
--------------------
Our pedals are designed to offer the highest levels of grip and much improved heel toe sizing. They are also the best looking pedals on the market:) I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. We have four different surface finishes to choose from. The Grid surface finish is the most popular, so that is what I mostly post pictures of.
--------------------
Your feet will not slide on our pedals. Once you start braking, your foot will not slide. However, you still have plenty of control for blipping the throttle. You DO want your foot to slide on the gas pedal. This is so you can apply the throttle smoothly. You will notice that our Grid finish gas pedals have smoother grids, so as to reduce the grip.
--------------------
As a reminder, I am going to keep running the Rennlist discount coupon code for Rennlist members. Just enter: rennlist while checking out for 20% off.
--------------------
Please note, the pictures below are just examples, and might not be for your particular car.

--------------------
You can also order our pedals with black anodizing.

We do offer other finishes. Check out our website for more pictures and info.

Just wondering what other RS60 owners are using for leather care products on their interiors. The center sections of the sport seats feel like a very different texture than the bolsters, and I was not sure what to use on them. I did a quick search in the detailing section, but nothing about products favored for the perforated areas on the sport seats. I've used Lexol on other sports car interiors, but I wasn't sure if thats the best stuff for these seats.

Thanks,
Best regards,

Rennline Billet Shift Knob **Product Release** $95

Unlike most shift knobs on the market, Rennline’s are far from “universal”. Universal usually means that it will nearly fit some applications and will not fit the rest. All Rennline shift knobs are CNC machined to fit specific applications, eliminating the concern of missing a gear due to loose or detached shift knob. There is no need to cut, drill, or modify your factory shift lever to install. All of our shift knobs are the ergonomically correct 1.875” diameter and have rubber trim rings installed at the base. Available in Silver and black finishes, for cars with or without integrated shift boots. Fits 964/993/996/997/Boxster/Cayman 1989-2010 w/ manual transmission

(Re: 2008 Boxster S RS60 Spyder)

I've been experiencing a persistant/loud squeak coming from the vicinity of the driver's door latch, or the top mechanism area to the left and just behind the driver's seat area...

It is now very noticable/loud with the top down, somewhat noticable with the top up but drivers window down, and not noticible with the top and window up. Anyone else experience a similar occurance? It helps to know :cool:

This is the very first warranty issue I have had in 16 months and 17k miles...

http://www.porsche.com/usa/aboutpors...&id=2009-11-05

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is introducing a new top version of the Porsche Boxster, a light mid-engined roadster making its world debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show in December.

Weighing just 1,275 kg or 2,811 lb, the Boxster Spyder is the lightest model throughout the entire range of Porsche cars. Clearly recognisable right from the start, this new mid-engined roadster represents the true, purist form of the Porsche sports car - light, powerful, consistently open, and very efficient.

This is precisely the formula already applied in creating Porsche's most successful road-going sports and racing cars, ranging from the legendary 550 Spyder all the way to the RS Spyder so successful in motorsport today.

The Boxster Spyder now continues this clear-cut philosophy with full homologation for the road, thus reflecting a common wish expressed by Porsche customers. The new model is entering the market in February 2010 as the third version in the Boxster range, joining the Boxster and Boxster S.

The new member of the Boxster family stands out clearly at very first sight from the other versions of Porsche's mid-engined roadster. Quite simply because the Boxster Spyder has been developed first and foremost for driving in the open air, the low-slung, light soft top extending far to the rear serving exclusively to protect the driver and passenger from bright sunshine, wind and weather. When closed, the soft top, together with the extra-low side windows and the two striking bulges on the single-piece rear lid, boasts a stretched and sleek silhouette reminiscent of the Carrera GT.

Significantly less weight than the Boxster S, a lower centre of gravity and an all-new sports suspension give the Boxster Spyder the right kind of driving dynamics clearly reflecting the unique look of the car.

The Boxster Spyder features a 3.4-litre six-cylinder with Direct Fuel Injection upfront of the rear axle. Maximum output is 320 bhp, 10 bhp more than in the Boxster S.

Equipped with PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe and the Sports Chrono Package, the new Spyder, using Launch Control, accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Again with optional PDK, fuel consumption is a mere 9.3 litres on 100 kilometres (equal to 30.4 mpg imp) in the NEDC New European Driving Cycle. Top speed, in turn, is 267 km/h or 166 mph - with the roof open.

In terms of its fundamental concept, the entire Boxster family is the successor to the legendary 550 Spyder built back in 1953, both models sharing the same mid-engine roadster concept, low weight, back-to-the-roots lifestyle, and supreme agility com-bined with equally outstanding driving pleasure.

The 550 Spyder was the first sports car from Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen developed specifically for racing but also homologated for the road. In the years following its production, this unique Spyder weighing only 550 kg or 1,213 lb, scored numerous victories on race circuits and in the road races so popular at the time.

The 550 Spyder was followed by other extremely successful Porsche Spyders such as the 718 RS 60 in 1960.

In 2004 and 2008 Porsche dedicated a limited edition of special Boxsters bearing the additional name Spyder to these legendary racing cars. By contrast, the new Boxster Spyder is a regular, specially developed and upgraded production model with far-reaching modifications versus the Boxster and Boxster S.

Market introduction of the new Porsche Boxster Spyder will start worldwide in February 2010.

I'm seriously considering a CPO 2008 Boxster S. 2 Dealers have them, they are like brand new cars and each has about 110 miles. I asked about the need to change the oil or brake fluid since the cars will be approaching 2 years old. Both dealers told me there is nothing to do with the fluids for quite a while. One said if I felt better about changing the oil or anything to wait until I take the car out in the spring. I live in the north east, so I will probably drive the car a few times before it snows and then put it away until the spring. Does that sound reasonable or do I need to do it now?

Thanks in advance.

Hey there everyone,

Recently we have been seeing an increase of clutch pressure plate failures with the 987 gearboxes, some of you here may have had this experience yourself.

Well we did some research here recently and was able to find a direct replacement for the OEM part that includes an upgrade to the pressure plate that should keep it from exploding, now.

If you are giving consideration to maybe changing out your clutch this winter, feel free to get in touch with me. I have a call into Sachs right now to get a firm price on this Sachs racing pressure plate. I will update everyone here later today, I hope.

I had a couple of prototypes made up while I was working for Carquip. There is one left over, and I thought that someone here might be interested in getting one.

It is a Kaaz unit, which is not as nice as the OS Giken Units that will be coming soon, but still if I may be able to get a pretty suite deal on it.

I just thought I would see if anyone was interested. Feel free to get in touch with me if you would like it. I will check into a price for you.
