Fixing All The Issues On Our Cheap 987 Boxster S + First Drive In Years!
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 01. 2023
- Today we DIY fix everything wrong with our cheap Porsche 987 Boxster S we bought from salvage auction sight unseen. This was was the cheapest in the USA because it was non running and had unknown mileage. We got it running for the first time in years last video and now we finished sorting it out for only $300. We go for the first drive in 4 years, and WOW, this thing drives and sounds amazing! Does it need a straight pipe exhaust?

I would rather watch this type of video than another supercar review…. Great story boys!
More to come!
Ditto!
These cheap Porsches have been my fave videos- more like this please!
The 987 is one of the most underrated cars on the planet. It's far more substantial in quality and feel than the 986, yet far more attainable than a 981and offers a more analog driving experience. The cars are not without their faults, but propertly maintained they're wonderful. The key to unlocking these cars is an exhaust, shifter with cables, aftermarket suspension and a tune. It transforms the car.
The exhaust sounds super nice! I think it's an aftermarket. Just leave it!
Yeah no way that's stock😱
It's stock or at the most a Porsche Sports Exhaust
Its stock, I have the same car and the same exhaust. Very nice sound, on mine I have the sport package with the sport button, pushing this stiffens the suspension and makes the exhaust even better!!
Yeah, my exhaust doesn't sound like that
I agree!
Love to see these auction wins. Particularly with the Boxster which I think is a killer fun car.
Guys, I watch you every day. I would love to win this blue '05 Porsche Boxter S when you get through fixing it up. I am 72, a retired secondary school teacher after spending 42 years in the classroom. Now living on a teacher's pension. I'm so excited for you two every time you take a wreck and fix it like new. Congratulations on all your entrepreneurial successes.
Love your videos. I share every accomplishment/fix with joy as you find solutions to each problem. I am living vicariously through your videos as you find and repair each car. Thanks
I've really come to enjoy your videos and adventures. Your enthusiasm is infectious and your content is both fun and interesting. This car is amazing, and I can just picture it all cleaned up and fully ready to ride. I have to admit that I have tried to flip cars with a few issues when purchased, but I have never had the type of success you guys have had. Bravo! Keep up the awesome content! Looking forward to more on this car.
To get the paperwork to separate, you can hold them over a boiling pot of water and use the steam.
Your energy and optimism unmatched, keep grinding love the content
The exhaust sounds real nice.
Fellow 987 owner. This has become my favorite CZcams channel.
Thank you! Nice car you got there ;)
I really needed this video 2 years ago lol same issues , same problems , same looking corroded ecm , stopped driving it for the same reasons you named .going to start working on it tomorrow ! Wish me luck
You have done really well with these Porsches! Congratulations! Love the little 987 Boxster.
So great to see the joy on your faces with each success😁! I've retired from restoring cars but would love to buy this one from you...when you're done.
I had a 987 Boxster S(2007) in the same exterior/interior color combo, w/full leather and full power seats. Bought it w/81k miles, drove until 140k before it was flooded in the south Florida rain. It was simply an amazing vehicle, and other than the brakes, not super expensive to maintain. I miss it
Love watching all the videos, giving life back to these beasts...
Keep the Porsche videos coming!
Hi from the UK. Great video. I've got a 2.7 987 Boxster in the same colour. Had it for 14 years now. I had a failed (flooded) control unit under the seat. Came home one evening after lots of rain that day to find both door windows partially open and the instrument panel lit up like a Christmas tree. Problem is caused by blocked drain pipes from the cabriolet hood. Water backs up and finds its way onto the control unit at the lowest point in the car. Always check the drain pipes are cleared when serviced. Simple fix to a potentially expensive problem.
Opening exhaust notes are amazing!
They are!
Dear Bros,
You really have a lot of luck with the Porsche 987 Boxster S because by spending such a less of money including the new computer and the oil and oil filter change the car seems to be in a top condition now so you’ve done a great job
When that spoiler went up I was as happy as u guys, great story
Worth the wait for this content, I noticed in episode 1 (if I'm not mistaken) that Jeffrey's phone said Saturday July 30th. Really enjoying watching these Boxsters come back to life, especially this Boxster S with the stick :-D Definitely on my list of cars that I will own one day! Sounds amazing too, stock or whatever it might be. I will want mine to sound just like it!!
The temperatures were a giveaway too, I am guessing it was a busy year for them to wait to long to release
Guys anytime you loose battery power you will get a psm failure. it will reset by driving the car and turning the steering wheel lock to lock. you only have to drive about 30 feet backward and then forward a couple times.
This is the car I’ve been dreaming about 🤩 SUPER COOL!!!!!you guys are my inspiration!! 😊
Awesome vid guys, just started looking at these and as much as I love the barra xr6 it might be time for a new toy
Awesome exhaust sounds!!
Great car - stock exhaust on base/s is great. You're correct - PSM failure error is normal until you drive it since you disconnected the battery. Rear module has 2 fields in the module where you set the VIN - I guess the car doesn't care if it has a different VIN. Seems like the convertible top latch microswitch is broken - you can touch it with your finger where the metal latch slides into the top windshield and hits the microswitch.
I got bit by the Porsche bug 23 years ago. You guys are the best!
I use the motor flush treatment every few yrs. Just to keep everything clean and it works great. That stuff is like the first thing I do when I get a used car
"Every minute it idles is a hundred bucks"
That hurt deep inside my soul
Right 😂
I think it’d be cool to see an update video in the future of what exactly happened to all the cars during the 12 DoC.
I admire the way u guys fix that Boxer or Boxter what ever u call it. If that was me I'll sell it to the junk yard. You guys r amazing. That car is sick. You did a great job on that 🚗. You guys have a nice n blessed holiday. Take care 👍
love the boxster content! great vids!
Glad you like them!
This is very cool to watch. Thanks guys.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job getting this baby sorted .
love your channel its better than any tv car show !!!!!!!
Looking for a new car and stumbled upon the boxster love the way your informative and incorporate real life experiences and problems with the car. Just curios what would be a good deal for a 2013 boxster s. After intensive research ive come to be greedy of the creature comforts and tech the 2013 provides but i would not pass up the early models. I’m just unfamiliar with the platform and your channel is a blessing man; appreciate the videos man.
I love the red one but the blue one is sweet and would own one in a heartbeat 😍
I have a 987 with a broken transmission on the top. Most likely the cog wheel broke and the top or deck lid (there are 2) was in the process of going up or down. I assume it's in "manual" mode and if you just run the switch for the convertible top to full open or close. The windows will go up all the way and the error will disappear. Great work!
Love from India dude! So fun to watch😀
I’ve had 5 Porsches the lates a new 2020 992 S 911. I’ve had two of these boaters also and they are fantastic little cars so raw and so much feedback
You guys are really inspiring me to do stuff like this, keep it up!
Glad to hear it!
Same here! I already have a 718 Cayman S but would love to find a cheap Boxster to whip around :D Gotta learn this auction thing.
Wow! The maroon (red?) and the beautiful blue! Back and doing what Porsche s have to do - spread smiles wherever they go.
Wish I was in the US, would have visited you just to see the museum of goodies Cheers and keep doing all the goodies. Getting classics where they belong.
Blessings from another dry area - the Holy Land! Cheers!!
These guys are so smart
Awesome job!
I’m currently shopping for a boxster or cayman so your channel is really raising my confidence to find a good example. 😄✌🏼
Love this content. Been here since you found the yellow goldmine Porsche that you gave away to a fan
Hi
Watching from Shropshire in the UK. Enjoying the content. Lexus and R230 Mercedes fan. Keep it going 👍
Great videos on the Boxster/Caymans. As an owner of a '17 Cayman, I am really dialed in to the content.
Yes, a short drive resets it! Same on my Cayman S
PSM fault typically come after a discharged battery. But I'm loving all this. Now I want to get myself a questionable Boxster. Also windows partially autoroll down when the top isn't in locked position.
Thank you for the info
The cheap Porsche videos are great. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
try the top maybe it needed to operate and reset
I just discovered your channel, it's insane, I love it!
Porsche is my favorite car , unfortunately it's hard from were I live ( Romania ) to get an "affordable" one , and take care of it !
You guys are awesome I love Arizona and dying to move there you guys are great keep up to the work
Super video! Love these guys!!!
Glad you like them!
Greetings from San Diego CA. Awesome videos!.
How did you all learn so much about cars proud of you all!!!
Love this!!! Greetings from Sweden.
Man your good at this!!!
Your additives are solvents that dissolve the crud... that's why they are so fluid...
Sounds zesty/premium/luxurious.. I've never driven one but a manual with that exhaust note is a win
The Car Wizard said that’s the one to buy!!❤
only subscribed to one video prior to watching yours. Great job!
Super cool 987 Boxster S and cooler videos fellas! That car would like great here in Nashville, TN! Let’s go!! 😂
OMG that sound!!!!
Wow another nice boxster you lads have been Soooooòo lucky with these cars keep up the great work and excellent for you to be given one away has a great weekend
Wow! Lucky sale for this motor, lads!
Loved this video, we’ve got a 2006 987 Boxster in Midnight Blue with the same Stone Grey full leather, Bose, Bi Xenon lights abs heated seats too. We’ve done 11,000 fun trouble free miles in the year we’ve owned it
You guys are great to watch
I love the cheap Porsche videos but the ones I like the most are the boxster ones live in az to do not like the heat 😅 keep up the good work
Great looking fun, I prefer the Cayman S.
At the start of the test drive, I saw one of those moving stop signs. Roll On!
That is a great score. 👍 Matt
these older Boxsters are truly special.
I love these videos!
I was waiting for those nice little pops when he was revving it 🎉
I love Porsches....that is such a nice sounding car. I wonder if the contact is corroded as well for the senser and the top.
It’s a Boxster S sport exhaust. I have one on my 2007 Boxster S. Sounds great!
Sounds awesome. I would be just as excited as you are.
You and me both!
Love the blue one and that dusty red one
Really cool never driven sport car before sweet ride.
The exhaust does not sound stock at all. I have a 987S thats on the original exhaust and does not sound like that. If it looks stock on the outside, it could still be a modified one from Carenewal with internal decat.
We had a custom aftermarket exhaust on ours, it sounded so so good, we sent it across the world to have it done highly recommend it’s somewhere in kurnwhal
Sounds pretty good
I like the enthusiasm for cars you guys show in all your videos. Buy an Alfa Romeo for extra fun...
Love to see it, nice vid ❤️
The Lobster claws are one of my favorite wheels.
That Porsche Is Awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
There is a microswitch for the top latch that is easy to replace.
Great buy 🤘🏻
Im gonna buy one of these
Thank you for saying “Porsche “ correctly ❤
With respect to the windows going up and then dropping down, I have a 2017 Cayman and it did the same intermittently, some adjustment had to me made made in how the window went into the track as it rose all the way to the closed position. there was a grab up there that made the window think something was in the way and it would reverse.
Leave exhaust as is. Always been a fan of this car, and plan on picking one up. You guys don't seem to fear the IMS bearing issues with these cars, are you having that checked before purchasing? Or have you just been fortunate?
Everyone smash that like button!! Let’s get these guys to where they deserve
Cool vid, thanks.. This past Monday I bought a 2004 Porsche Boxster S 6-speed manual 87K on the odometer, garage kept and in very very sweet condition. :) it's my first Porsche, but I fell in love with the 1985 928 S while stationed in Stuttgart Germany.
I know that feeling, driving a 2006 boxster S , since 2019! Aloha from Hawaii!
Everyone has Amazon boxes... put them under your oil catch pans. Soaks up spill oil great.
Great job guys ! Have fun to watch your videos and specially Porsche reborn video ! Check from France ;-)
