  1. Just visiting here and reading this thread, interesting! I had a lot of Porsches in my life, 12 to be exact. Anything from. 356 to various 911 to a Cayenne and finally to a 986 Boxster and now a 2014 Boxster. To all of you who think a 991 is too "GT", you have a point, as a hardcore fanboy I still miss my 964 C2 built to RS specs, big time. I find the current Boxster the most fun to drive car by far and the best value as well. And I drove several 991s over time to compare.
  2. Our '08 gets maybe 14 mpg around town and maybe 18 mpg on the highway at 75 mph. I guess the ethanol gas is to blame, total suckage! It is an "S" with bypass pipes, recent plugs and filters, regular maintenance.
  3. Ok! 2 coil packs were somehow damaged, replaced, engine runs perfect again. I absolutely have no idea how this knocking sound has to do with the coil packs. However, all is good and a BIG thank you to our Porsche tech Larry who fixed the engine :)
  4. Car goes to the shop July 25, will post updates......
  5. This is my engine, suddenly developed this horrible sound.Here is another one, a 3.6 from a 996 C 4 S
  6. Fantastic! Been there last year, so much fun and very cool cars and people.
  7. Very common problem. T-reg bearings are more expensive. There is a company in Denver which does the repairs for approx. 400 in exchange.
  8. True! Bolt not loose = certain damage to the rubber bushing on the chassis side!
  9. Uhmm, just thinking and by no means I am a tech or something...... Sediment in the tank got sucked into the fuel filter and possibly further up thus causing problems?
  10. April 1st??? Seriously! Get oil changed asap, even the smallest amount of water will reduce "functionality" of the oil greatly. Do not start engine until done.
  11. Very interesting! Isn't an OEM /Porsche like a $ 2,500 option?
  12. Man, this is an old thread. However I installed the Fabspeed pipes and they fit very well. Sound is great (deeper) and def some improvement in the power dept.
  13. Glad that workedout and it sounds that was one of those money making tickets..... Andy
  14. Wow Mike! I wish we had a tire shop here like you describe!
  15. All of the above! I almost always shift "by hand" when pulling our boat, espcially in the mountains! Brakes are awesome but I'd test the trailer brakes before going anywhere!! Makes a HUGE difference! Another note,we never ever experienced the dreaded pendulum / trailer going left/right. Report back when done! Later, Andy
  16. You won't have a problem at all with any of these trailers. Just drive with a little more "sense", i.e. you're pulling a trailer! Make sure the trailer lights work..... The Cayenne is an awesome tow vehicle! We pull our boat (4,500 lbs plus trailer weight) on a regular basis, sometimes we even forget somethings hangs back there! Later, Andy
