Keep the front rads clean the the way too help prevent bore score

Bought my 08 987 last year, it’s a 2.7 so it doesn’t suffer with ims or bore scoring issues. Paid £7500 for it with a 100k miles on it and 5k miles later it’s running great so far🤞. Insurance was surprisingly cheap as well considering I was 18 when I bought it. £784 for the year. Mental🤯

I think the ims problem can still effect 2008 cars! The problem was only resolved with the 2009 Gen 2 which came with a new engine the 9A1, now directly driven off crankshaft MA1 (9A1) engine, and the 2.7 became the 2.9. Hope that helps.

The 2.7 is the engine most affected…

Gotta love the editing man! Quirky little thing like the music stops when the door closes, oh no Calv opened the door and the music started mid drive gotta love the absolute attention to detail! 👍🏼👌🏼

Loved this video, you have such a natural, humorous way of presenting. Thanks for all the pandemic light relief.

Love your editing Calv, that door opening music playing moment was class and the reason I wanted to leave a comment🤣

Worst thing to do just sitting there revving it, needs to be driven straight away until it’s upto temp before booting it!

Love the detail of editing like the music coming on when you open the door while driving 👌👌👌

Bought one of these when they first came out. Some people slated them till I took them for a spin. Opinions soon changed. Cracking car and they are the reason Porsche are around today!

I’ve got one of these. As standard I did a 5.6 0-60. After a remap and exhaust deleting 2 cats, it did 5.1. Great car, I’ve had mine 8 years this year. I bought mine down south with ever option thrown at it bar ceramic discs and sports suspension. 10k I paid, and 2k of work. Not bad for a car that cost 54k out the factory.

Good video, without wishing to sound a nerd I have had several Porsche’s and currently have a 996. I have always been told not to let them warm up at idle, just start it and drive keeping it around 2000 rpm until the oil is at temperature. This is to allow the oil to circulate and is to help prevent bore score.

Loving the content for two reasons. Firstly I love performance cars and secondly you drive past my house in most of your videos! Haha!

Hi Calvin congratulations on reaching 166,000 subscribers and you will soon be at 170,000 subscribers and well done for all your continued hard work

I agree roof down feels soo much more fun plus you hear more exhaust notes. 👍👍

I think they are the optional Carrera "S" wheels which were standard on a 997 S in period. Class wheel.

your the man calvin,great channel so keep it up and the content coming dude!!

Loving Porsche at the moment great video 👌

That spec check doesn’t seem correct Calvin it’s missing quite a few bits off of it. It has xenon lights by the looks of it and also full leather including dash and door cards etc too both of which were expensive and really nice to have options. I Wouldn’t be surprised if there was other stuff missed off the list too. Great cars for the price and a nice buy 👌

Great engine had a Cayenne that I did over 200k miles in with ease. I believe they used the same engine. Good luck with it bro

Great video! It’s my plan for next year to save for one! Lovely looking lil weekend car

Bore scoring and IMS bearing are bank breaking repairs. 6k minimum if either pop up. Old cars that was too much for you to afford are still pricey to maintain when they get older.

What app does Cal use for car checks to see optional extras and cars value

Calvin is a brave man in his beanie, with the roof down.. must have been freezing... what a mans gotta to do to bring us these videos... LOL

My Mrs has her convertible roof down anytime the sun is out including winter 🥶. She has wanted one for years so makes the most of it 😆

Lets go champ! ON IT 🤙

What app do you use to check HPI to be able to see what your car was specced with?

I've just bought almost EXACTLY the same car; silver 05 Boxster S. Was very worried what you were going to say as I'm new to Porsche's - glad to hear you think it's a good call. Posing mode enabled!

Great content as always 👍🏻 keep up the fantastic work 👍🏻

Bore scoring is super rare on the 3.2. Its only a problem on the 3.4. No more so than any other car on the 3.2!

Another quality production

I drove a 2005 987 Base manual the other day and it was soooooooooo easy to shift and find the gears. It was unreal.

Convertibles are ace I have a hardtop ragtop volvo c70 2.5 t5 with backbox delete.... sounds sooo good with roof down!!

yes really cool, much nicer than the original boxer, little touches, love them wheels 😎

Most people saying parts are expensive? No they’re not, find a wreckers or buy online. Expensive to service? Not at all, change the oil and filter yourself, but an OBDII and diagnose issues on your own. People create mental barriers and have no idea what they’re talking about. I own a 986 and 987 and they’re no different than any other car with running costs

Thought he was gonna say, I’ll be giving this one away on planet of dreams 😂

Remember to watch all the ads to support the channel. Nice one Cal

U keeping it cal? Lol nice clean motor 💛🖒

silly billy with the smoking tyres and gettin the roof down .. nice video

enjoyed your video calvin .

Big thing you’ve got to look out for IMS failure Any oil leaking from the back of the bell housing you can tell if it’s on its way out When you remove your oil filter and cut it and open it out if you see any shiny bits of metal it’s on its way you will get a little bit I do agree though they still look good And current

This would be interesting to how they’re serviced

I’ve got the same car, it’s the longest I’ve kept a car(5years) they are just great cars. 3.4 are the engines susceptible to bore score out of the range. Very low percentage of those by the way! Great buy!👍

Been driving my 2006 boxster s, since 2019, and love it ,especially in paradise! Aloha from Oahu, Hawaii! Peace!

The enthusiasm is amazing! 🙌😂

please make a video on that RS3 we keep seeing in the background Calvin

Brilliant vid as always calv but where's the beanie???🤷🏻‍♂️🤔 EDIT: Spoke too soon🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Great looking car in silver 👌 Love a S

Did you flip Arthers VW ? as you bought it ages and where is it now lol Calvin

Should of done the draggies with roof up

I purchased a 99' for £2k last summer. 3 previous owners, loads of history, very tidy. I'll sell it later this year for £4k.

Lobster claw wheels, nothing wrong with many owners on a boxster

I feel the earlier model that this replaced, the interior has dated so badly compared to these! i love 2004 onwards Porsche interiors, they feel so much more modern and still fit in well. the rounded/bubble dash of the earlier stiff like the 911 and boxter is such an off put for me!

@ldgvh7210

I feel the exact opposite. I love the classic look of the original 986 interior and the steering wheel. The 987 interior looks incredibly cheap and flimsy to me, looks very much reminiscent of early 2000's Ford interiors. Like the earliest attempts at "modernising" interiors, just loses all the original charm and character while also being older and more uglier than the newer, actually modern interiors of the latest versions.

I love those alloys Looks fucking awesome with the roof down

Great summer buy

Sorry, but it's bad to warm the flat 6 , you need to drive immediately under 2000 revs till engine warm, don't tick over on driveway

The rims are 911 997 Lobster claw wheels

That’s correct guys I have a 997 s and that came with lobster claw alloys on my 2006 they are marmite but I love them however I’m not sure these are genuine as the rear wheels would be too wide for the Baxter

My 987S had these same wheels on it when I bought mine. Those wheels are genuine. I sold my lobster claws though and got after-market multi-spokes.

2008 plus Boxster Model ? , 3.4 Liter S version is a solid car.

I love my boxster had it for over 6yrs

Wonder how much extra it is to do a basic service 🤣. Because of my age the poor man’s Porsche’s to me were the 924 and then the 944. To me the nicest Porsche ever made was the 928.

Fat rear Tyres ? You sure ? 😂 Great car though.

The reason their so cheap is because of the running costs,tyres-expensive,service-expensive even if you’ve got a garage that know how to get to the engine🤣 parts-ridiculous!

When I was a kid I remember saying to my Nan “I was at a car boot sale today and there was a remote control car that was £10 but at Toys R Us it’s £60. £10 is so cheap!” She said: “Calvin it’s only cheap if you’ve got the money” One of the best things I’ve ever leant in my whole life is learning that my Nan was wrong.

The 996/986 interiors look like an early 90s Ford Taurus station wagon design. The 987/997 look more time neutral to me. Both generations are cheap plastic and you can feel and smell it. The only thing appealing about 996/986 over 997/987 is price.
