For anybody who is interested - I am GIVING away THIS Porsche Boxster for FREE in this video czcams.com/video/uGpjeeC8TeA/video.html
Driver 81
@driver81 Very interested
No way
Pick me, i just love the boxster😁👍🇩🇰
Nice video. I've made some similar mods to my Polo that you might find useful too:
Reduce weight by removing spare change, unused cds and half finished drinks containers. I have also removed heavy documentation, sunglasses and my driving gloves.
Foil over the radiator grill to smooth out the aerodynamics. I have used cling film for the headlights.
Tuck in wing mirrors to reduce drag. I have also snipped off the aerial.
Concentrate on performance when driving downhill.
Skip lunch, and make sure all waters, and especially, solids have been passed before driving.
Hold your breath when accelerating.
Hope some of these work for you and your subscribers.
Lol spot on!
Love your style! Correct reaction to this.........
😂😂😂😂😂
Elliot Rodger I have shaved my head and I fast before every journey .😁
A hair cut and a shave also helps a lot.
love my 986. dont dare change anything feel it will become a bit of a classic. such a great mechanical car
Me too my is at 223,000 no issue
Besides the IMS…
Intake tube delete reminds me of flipping the air filter lid on 70's GM quadrajet cars. Showing my age on that one!
I have a 99 boxster with a manual transmission. Owned it for about 4 years. Some of the original parts that needed replacement were alternator, AOS, coolant tank, worn out shocks, rotors and brake pads, and small electrical repairs over the last 3 years since I have owned it. Probably spent about $5k over the 3 years but the car is one of the best cars I have owned. It also has a hard top so I use it come the rainy season in South Florida.
did u ever change the ims in it
@@MrOmgfreak
No I didn't.
ahh yes that double row bearing
good.
i wonder if my 2000 boxster has one the MFD says 1999 when it was built i hope it has the double row too.
The minute I opened the video I knew he was from Newcastle. Can always tell the accent. Did my master's and bsc there back in 2010-2013. A great city indeed. Nice video by the way. Warm greetings from Nigeria.
Interesting mods! After tracking and modifying two 986s, I'm on the lookout for a 987S! Many 986 mods are featured on my channel.
I will vouch for the plugs and coil packs. Had mine done on recent service and it transformed the throttle response. 😎
Part numbers...and did you do yourself?
Thanks I learned a lot about the Boxter from your video. I just bought one yesterday and it came without a manual.
Did de-snorkel and Crios mod a while back -- love it! sound is great xpecially above 4000 rpm..
Porsche put a "snorkel" for safety so that the intake of the engine could not suck a butt that could ignite the air filter.
Legaumaisdsts so do I take it out yes or no
@@alfonsomendez6976 yes, take the snorkel out -- it is actually there to meet noise requirements in some countries.
Or water :)
i own a 1998 boxster since new. has 22k miles on it. bought a pretty basic car knowing i was going to keep it a long time and didn't want too many extras to go wrong. great car. everything i can expect from a porsche. fast, smooth, comfortable. had to invest bout 1500$ over the years for unexpected repairs - electrical problem was the biggest (windows would not go up; a relay in the seat belt caused a trouble light - and had to buy parts from dealer. i use a battery trickle charger so i am on the third battery - original plus 2. amazingly, second set of tires. first lasted 6,000 then put the finest michelins on and good to go. just love the car. obviously driven only in nice weather. have haggerty insurance which is about 75% less than regular and full coverage.
Another Brilliant Video All The Best .
Great video.. Very interesting.. Thanks..
Good sensible video. Thanks. very watchable
Looking forward to the short-shifter installation video. I have not found a good one yet and am planning to install one.
Here is a before and after of my install: czcams.com/video/QhMbPWpoXm0/video.html
Best mod
Grande classico,piu' passano gli anni e piu' diventa bellissima.
I’ll start again, I just poked 2. 1/2 in. Holes on the exhaust with a sharpened 1 foot long rebar, it took 15 minutes & sound better, thinking of enlarge to 5/8
From Rancho Cucamonga CA ,I just poked 2. 1/2 in. Holes on the exhaust with a sharpened 1 foot long
Still a great video 5 years later!
Nice video! Could you tell me the name of the first track? Sounds awesome! Thx
Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks for watching Jeffrey :-)
Did you ever do the short shift mod as looking at this for mine.
Just so you know, Boxster owers in many other parts of the world will be locking their roof on for winter in April.
The best cheapest mod I found removal of spare tire in the front
Good video & car
how about the gt3 style bumper? Easy to fit? I love it
I De-Snorkeled my car a couple days ago. It sounds so good with the top down. Very GT3 like. You're video just doesn't do it justice lol. Might try that crios mod next 🤘🏽⚡️. Good video man.
The "snorkel" was placed by Porsche to protect the admission of the fire. The "snorkel" prevents cigarette butts from reaching the air filter and igniting your car.
You missed one...repaint your calipers. The base calipers get faded and old looking after a few years. Some high gloss heat resistant paint and some heat resistant Porsche lettering once dry makes the wheels come back to life beautifully. Also...spacers front and rear but half the size on front.
I'm not a Porsche person but this will be helpful for gagliardi vex built.
Can you give me the link for those awesome headlights? Thanks soo much!!!
Is there a video for the same thing (mods) but for the 987?
I have no idea what exhaust I’ve got on my boxter S but it sounds a lot better than yours, louder and nicer. Maybe because it’s a 3.2 idk
I recall you recommended a 986 Boxster car cover in one video but I can't find that video. Do you mind dropping the link?
Foxwell 510 already pursched by the way, that s a great tool !!! already helped me in some things!
Same! remote has stopped and it appears the only fix is the porsche garage...
yep, I am going to give it to them in one month
@@dubheadhunter solved by ordering a new immobilizaer from Porsche Factory~ 600$..
Hello, did you ever did the exhaust mod consisting of making small openings on the pipes??
Thanks for your tips.
From Rancho Cucamonga CA , I just did poke a sharpened 1 foot long rebar 1/2 in. It took 15 minutes & sounds better
My Boxster gets driver year round :) (Florida Perks)
I drive mine year round in Canada, just slap on some winter tires and she's good to go
@samin90 @tmansnaps how much are you paying for fuel in a week ? And how often are you repairing parts ?
Are you on a 2004 Boxster S. The buttons for the radio the heater air conditioner etc. all are hard to push in until you push them a couple of times. Do you have a solution on how to get those from being so hard to push in and out call. OK
those 20mm rear wheel spacers are way much more money than you quoted or am i looking in the wrong place?
can these be done on my 987S?
You forgot to add a few beers
Hi, I recently bought my first car and it is a Porsche Boxter 986 (2002). I did a huge amount of work with my own hands, restored all the plastic in the interior, cleaned the radiators, repaired the cooling system and much more... but unfortunately, after replacing the battery in the car and after replacing the battery in the electronic key, the car stopped responding to the electronic key.( (the light comes on when pressed and the battery has already been replaced twice, perhaps you know how to make the car see the electronic key again?
How about a 911 gt1 hood?
The drawback of the K&N Filter it can cause oil drawing from up top , by the filter
If you have oiled the K & N filter too much, this extra oil will go on the MAF and accelerate its aging or destroy it.
What front bumper and skirts are they on yours? Looks 911ish from the front that bumper
Hes got grey bumpers
996 GT3 aero
I have desnorkeled Done the chrios mod and a free flow air filter. I drove another 986 S without these mods and I can tell you that my car feels way more livelier and hits a lot harder at 4000 RPMs... seems to pull much harder at 3K RPMs also I just have to watch out for lit cigarette butts in the road😊
Lowering springs would’ve been a good suggestion
Not cheap
@@creator4413 like £200 or less definitely qualifies as a cheap modification to a car in my book
Redex is same thing as transmission fluid. It cleans and lubricates the seals, springs in the injectors. I would put 1/4 of a quart into a tank full of gas. Once a year is good.
My digital speedometer and digital lights in muy 2000 Porsche boxster went out when I replaced the battery. Anyone know a quick fix
John Donaldson Did you find out what the problem was as I disconnect the battery all the time as I go away quite a bit
99 Boxster Triptronic S 2.5
Ah the Redex debate. I hear it adds up to 40 horse powers.
I recently got a 2000 986 and when you get above around 4 thousand I hear a lot of engine/mechanical noise in the cabin is that normal?
signifcatly more than other cars but this is my first time in a mid or rear engine
Obviously it’s not bumper to bumper stuff where you live then!
7:48 you indicated right but turned left 😄
Para distraer al enemigo jajajaja
does De-Snorkeling damage the vehicle in any way?
why would it?
Well it is there for a reason no?
The "snorkel" was placed by Porsche to protect the admission of the fire. The "snorkel" prevents cigarette butts from reaching the air filter and igniting your car.
Need help - at 3:55, there is this high-pitched whining noise when revving. I have the exact same noise in my 987.2. Is that normal?
That's your turbo sir. Most cars have that.
@@kiabagha3401 The 986 is NA
Blz top
Perhaps you could put some oil on your brakes to stop them squeaking
👍
You can get a Circuit Werks catback exhaust system for $230 here in America. I've seen some reviews and all it has is droning issues and you have to move the power line away from the exhaust or it's screwed, but that's all problems it really has.
What's the short shift kit you've recommended?
You can find on Ebay and Ali Express. Replace the two cable ends as well. Look into Function First, their Shift Right kit, expensive but so worth it. All plastic bits are replaced with metal and ball bearing bushes.
You should call it the Porsche Modster S.
Spacers put extra load on wheel bearings and give a wider track than the front, this affects the handling and not in a good way.I desnorkeled and fitted a KN to the wifes S and it did make a difference in sound.New plugs and coils good idea on a car over 5yrs old,many change plugs but not coils.Redex cleans the carbs well and ok on a 80kml car but on a high miler can do more harm than good.Short shift worth triple what they cost.
The M96 engines are NOT carburated!
I didnt say they were,I was talking about redex.
FYI 115K on 17mm spacer all around.
Need an LSD to get rid of the one wheel peel at the start of the video
Sold my Miata for a boxster….. couldn’t be more bored with a car. Shoulda keep the Miata
Why isn't your Boxster Black & White ? TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
I miss Newcastle .. Got my Uni degree and lived in this beautiful city from 2007--2012
Is this car reliable or expensive to maintain
mine has been extremely reliable
Rebar in 15 minutes and I noticed the sound, I might go to 5/8
8:16 lol. Why the f*ck are you sticking your finger in there! Hahaha. The bottle is designed to go in the hole!
Do not poke holes in your muffler the drone in fifth gear will drive you crazy.
Keep it to 14 mills (1/2 inch) no drone.
@@MarkHamilton70 the reason I say that is my Boxster came with an after market stainless muffler that at 60 miles an hour the drone was deafening. I under stand that some people will like to get a better exhaust note but I had to replace the offending droning muffler. Fortunately i was able to buy a used OEM muffler that some one had removed and replaced with an after market muffler. Who knows it might have been the original one from my car. Anyways if you need to replace a muffler yourself I recommend that you pull the rear plastic bumper off to access the muffler, you can do it without removing the bumper but it is a whole lot harder. I believe that is just a few clips that hold it on, I am about to find out as I need to pull the front bumper to clean the leaves out of the radiators.
I heard that you lose power by poking holes in the exhaust, from a first hand credible source
Not if you dyno the car
After watching the dismantling (removal of inlet duct) of the most acclaimed inlet system made I just had to switch off. Seriously, people think they know more than Porsche engineers with decades of combined experience?
David Moore yeah like the time Porsche restricted the cayman engine and intake system so as to not be more powerful than the 911. Porsche do things for a reason, and it’s not always to get the best out of an engine, often it’s a way of restricting performance. All manufacturers do it.
@@alsatch_ Seriously? Ever heard of ECU mapping? Cold air induction? Venturi effect? Would you pay more for a "compromised"
ear engine design unless it was mapped to be more powerful? Carreras are unique hence their attraction.
@@alsatch_ De-snorkeling has to reduce the Venturi effect and negate the cold air intake. Hot air from the engine/ wheel well area will be less dense than from the carefully designed side vent.
Porsche put a "snorkel" for safety so that the intake of the engine could not suck a butt that could ignite the air filter.
Porsche also made the M96 engine that experienced IMS bearing failure and subsequent destruction of the engines that costs somewhere around $20,000 to replace. They made lifter oil ports that were too small and are prone to clogging? How about all alluminium cylinder blocks on the M97 engines that could not take the wear of the piston regardless of driving style, oil condition, etc and that costs around $25,000 to replace the engine? You don't have to be a brown-noser for an auto manufacturing company.
I’m a little hesitant about fuel additives, but the snorkel sounds sort of interesting
did it, you can hear the difference, sounds better, cant really feel it. Be careful if you live where theres a ton of rain, I heard that water can get in there and thats not good, no rain here :)
breaking off bits and pieces, drilling holes in the exhaust, changing gear shifters :s... Dude, the car is perfect as is, why not keep it original? If you're ever going to sell it, you're going to regret drilling holes in your exhaust
I just poked 2 1/2” holes with a sharpened 1 foot long rebar, took 15 minutes, sounds better & thinking of enlarge to 5/8 new owners will love it
Great video, very stupid over played music.
Buy once, cry once!
I cannot find Redex in the U.S., what is a comparable product?
You can use ordinary sugar.
Techron, Royal Purple, or Lucas Oil
bernie andrews fuck you man

So a lot of people don't drive their cars in the winter seems a bit weird
I own an independent Porsche service shop. If you are looking for absolute junk, buy a Boxster.
k&n airfilters are dirtier- for very little value. stick with a quailty airfilter.
should have rather called this "9 cheap or free ways to turn your Porsche into a boyracer shitheap"
calling sparkplug and ignitioncoil service a "mod" is funny, guess i'll "mod" my car with some mobil1 0w40 and a new set of manufacturer spec brakerotors and pads next week xD
Nikola Dietmar Krapp think you need to mod your hair for a start.
@@alsatch_ i guess you really needed those 10 months to come up with this answer. damn do i feel the burn xD
Nikola Dietmar Krapp he made a good video. Why don’t you take your mommy and daddy didn’t give me enough attention headass on somewhere. He’s right tho. Go hit up a barber you ugly fuckling. People like you need to fuck off with all that negative bullshit 😂
You lost me at coils at spark plugs that's not a mod
Buying another airfilter which is not recomended by the manifacturer will destroy your MAF in the long run.
Replacing your air filter is not a mod 😒
Nope
LS engine swap!
mnminnmn 😂
meow
.
PLEASE GUYS, DONT pour any additive to fuel tank... You can google it why.
Fuel additives do help clean the engine.
Here is what to do with your porsche .......leave it alone ya half wit
Bullshit mods. Wheel spacers? 😨
next video please don't drive and talk or explain you're running out of air and it sounds like you're running a marathon I think you could have focused a lot better with greater explanation if you are more calm and relaxed and standing outside of the car just my two cents mate but I love the video
I couldn't get past spinning your wheels in gravel, that's just too stupid. 👎👎
It’s pronounced with two syllables. Porsch-a
Biden? Really?
these twinkie cars are so ugly.
I hate the design of old porsches, especially ones with the exhaust in the middle.
potatochobit 😭 well worth the time you spent typing that comment out.
suggest you go to Specsavers or come back to the site when you buy a 'twinkie' car.
So why the fuck are you watching the video< you dummy. You probably drive a Yugo
