Will This New Oil Pan Fix Our CHEAP "Blown Engine" Porsche Boxster 981?

  • Today we fix our cheap Porsche Boxster 981 that insurance quoted as needing a new engine (for $28,000). All we had to replace was the oil pan. We opted to go with an upgraded billet deep sump oil pan from RR racing. We also go for the first drive to see if the repairs worked. Hopefully the engine doesn't blow up like on our cheap flooded Maserati Granturismo.

    Anybody who puts down the Boxster or Cayman have no idea what they are talking about. I have a 911 AND a Boxster. Truth being told, the Boxster is just as quick around the track and is more fun in the Tx Hill country twisty roads. Once you drive one (IF you are a real driver) you will always sing the praises of the car. One of the best handling cars Porsche has ever built. Keep up the Boxster content. It is awesome.

    I found your channel because of the Porsche content so count me in with the group that can’t get enough Porsche videos. They’re just so much more relatable than super/hypercars. Very much looking forward to the 986/987/981 comparison video.

    I, for one, enjoy the Boxter content and am quite jealous of the deals you guys are finding. I have owned several Porsches, but no Boxters. I used to have an 86 911, but am now thinking a Boxter could be good (cheap?) fun.

      The 981 Boxster/Cayman is the Porsche sweet spot. On a tight mountain road, it’s better even than a 992 911. You guys are so lucky in the US. My 75k km 2013 Boxster base with PDK, PSE & SC - which I LOVE - cost $80,000 in Australia. 🦘

    Loving the Porsche content. I have a 987.2 Cayman and it's the best car i've driven soo far, and these videos could prove useful for figuring out and sorting problems in the future. So I personally hope to see a Cayman video at some point, but any Porsche content is a win. Keep it up!

  • @n206ja

    I'm definitely in agreement with all your comments in this video! I've got a '14 981 Cayman and picked it up in 2016 as a CPO with only 5,000 miles! It has undoubtedly been the best bang for the buck car I've ever purchased. The combination of styling, comfort, performance, and that sweet flat 6 sound can not be beaten by any car - period. On top of that, it cruises the interstate at 75 mph and gets about 33 mpg! It's practically an econocar! LOL!

    Smoking deal! Especially with a clean title. Absolute home run, congrats. Did they check the cylinders for damage while they had the pan off? And the warmup time is a real consideration for anyone thinking about installing a "racing" oil pan. It's complete overkill for a street car and might actually do harm if the car doesn't get up to temp during most drives.
    Keep the Boxster content coming! I'm a 987 owner and I love it, even though mine is relatively crappy. 😄 The 981 is absolutely brilliant.

    Having had several 356 and 912s, neither was a super accelerator and top speed car but, to me, was their handling. That’s why this Boxster would be such a kick to drive.

    I don't own a Boxster or a Porsche and likely never will (except for perhaps a Macon for my wife) but I love the Boxster content - it's interesting to see the wide swing in values across the years and what great "scores" you're getting at auction (with all the risk and work that goes in to them). Worth watching for sure - even if you do get a bit over excited / over acting - it's great content nonetheless!

    I was in the same boat as you about the Boxster platform. I used to be one of those that would talk down on the Boxster/Cayman platform, my argument was always, yeah, but it’s not a 911, then I drove one in its element. Backroads to Porsche palooza in a 981 cayman base with my buddy in my E92 M3 following me, and he could not keep up. Shortly after that the M3 was sold and the search for a Cayman S began. I’ve now owned my 987.1 Cayman S for almost a year and a half, and absolutely love it. It is hands down my favorite car I have ever owned, and it may well be my first (of many) forever cars.

    PDK is not the best gearbox in particular for those who like driving, however for those who think that speed / bhp defines a sports car like PDK, driving a sports car is about involvement and feel using the 3rd pedal to modulate the car whilst exploiting the engine rather than depending on a computer to do the driving whilst you gloat at your driving. Manual is the collectors choice.
