Suspected cause · Original poster
One was heard to say to the other: "That's beautiful, that is...." and I suspect a demonstrator is going to get ordered in my colour scheme!

The dealer recommended 500 miles at under 4K...avoiding constant revs too.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Please run it in as soon as you can, I don't want to be hearing next week that its still not near its "hammering time".
Nice colour
Look forward to seeing it in the flesh at BTaP. Hope you're going to ring Manu for a nice sports exhaust as well, to release the full flast six yowl
Cheers

Don
Nice looking motor, good colour combo.
Looks like some good options have gone on board (GT3 style alloys, spts seats, arctic dials, alloy h/brake gearshift etc).
Out of curiosity does the clear "glass" between the seats come off or is it fixed?
cheers
DAZ
PS - On an earlier post you mentioned the dealer said do 800 miles then thrash it. My dealer told me the same, 800 miles at upto 4k revs. However this conflicted with the advice in the manual which was 1,800 miles and 5k revs. I combined the two doing upto 4k for the first 800 then up to 5k from about 1,200 to 1,800 miles. Just an idea to check I suppose?
The glass comes out and has a little case...so you can stick it in the storage box under the roll bars.
Never fear - I shall run the car in very carefully. The dealer recommended 500 miles at under 4K...avoiding constant revs too. The manual does indeed state 1800 miles "avoiding high revs especially
when cold"...so I'll be jolly careful until about 2K miles..gradually increasing revs etc.
Then I'm going to give it the Spanking it so richly deserves.
Well done my man !!
Looks superb - now go buy that "proper" Zymol kit and keep that lovely colour in the finest fettle you can muster !
I recommend Titanium - used on Emma's and hasn't acquired a single stonechip since.
Did you not have a deflector in the last one ? Have you gone for the full one with storage underneath ? Wheels look nice, and that's from Mr Seventeen Inches.
Whatever....well done Don. The red on the hoops is inspired. And hey - get a look at this weeks' Autocar - 9/10 - "The best roadster money can buy".
'Nuff said.
Thank you, Greg!
I am very, very pleased with the car. The two sales guys at the dealers were staring at it as we went through the handover. One was heard to say to the other: "That's beautiful, that is...." and I suspect a demonstrator is going to get ordered in my colour scheme!
Its all the clear lenses that do it. Previous model year Boxsters have the orange lenses which I think worked better with Silver and the darker colours than red and yellow. (IMHO!).
I'm also pleased with the interior...they were trying to get me to "lighten" the interior with the aluminium pack...but I just did the gearstick...which (IMHO) works better.
My old neighbour has his whole car Zymol'd professionally...yep...think I'll either do it myself with the kit or get someone in.
No Armourfend for me though...don't like the "seams".
Yes I have the full windstop and storage box - that's all part of the option. Same as on my last car. Have you ever seen a Boxster without the windstop/storage box...it looks *so* strange. Porsche put a net on the area as standard. But I've only ever seen one once - on a absolutely standard Guards Red Boxster with no options at all.

Don,
as an alternative to Zymol there are others out there as good.
There is Zaino which though fiddly to put on gives better results IMHO.
There is also Swissol which is awesome, I have been using it for a few months and it is fab. The agent for Swissol in the UK will also come to you for a day and bring your car up to concours standards.
Rich
V.nice - thinkging of getting one myself, and was also thinking of Guards Red - looks great!
Enjoy
Igg
PS. Just how did you get the 'right' weather for your delivery day? Don't remember seeing that particular option on the Porsche options list.
No I don't think she's a convert, actually. She is beginning to think that it might be time to invest in a Tuscan though. Thing is she *loves* her Chimaera and whilst its going strong and we can maintain it - why not keep it? We'll see.
She did like the new Porsche very much though...so I imagine it'll go into her work from time to time.
Car looks as great as I imagined. Those wheels look bloody great! Please run it in as soon as you can, I don't want to be hearing next week that its still not near its "hammering time". Congratulations mate, looks wonderful.
PS. Please run it in as soon as poss.
PPS. Oh, and just to mention, please run it....
Lovely car - Red isn't normally my cup o tea but that looks stunning....
Me and Mrs Jayteens have been pondering the next purchase and Boxster is top of the list at present..
I'll do my best. Taking it to Cornwall this weekend - so that should get some way towards 500 miles.
Still - got to keep the revs down until 1800 miles according to the book so it may not be going all the way up to 7000rpm by BTaP...we'll see.
I've heard that "Spanking the Boxster" can make you go blind.
Glad the car is everything you hoped for, Don.
>> Edited by JonRB on Thursday 24th October 11:44
Yep. Thanks, Keith. Its great. We'll have to go for a pint soon and you can experience it. It still needs running in though...so a while yet before I can mash the accelerator into the carpet with abandon.
Oh. But soon...........
Don,
I'll keep an eye out for you in Cornwall over the weekend. If you see a lowered, cobalt blue S with GT3 wheels and the driver waving
it'll be me!
Very nice car - enjoy
Tim
Don
The car looks great, excellent colour combination. I look forward to having a poke round at the next meet. Oh, and look out for the wedge in Cornwall. I'm going down on monday.
Enjoy.
Gavin
Too right! I have been keeping it under 4K up to the 500 miles. (Now done with my trip to Cornwall). I shall grdually increase the revs over the next 1300 miles. In the least 50 miles or so I've let it go to 4.5K - 5K but won't let it go over that until the 1800 mile point. But then.....
On a journey tha car seems to be quicker than my previous S. More accelerative at lower revs (good thing since I'm keeping them down). Very refined but definitely has the proper sports car ride and handling - as I demonstrated to my Mrs over the weekend on Cornwall's back lanes.
Marvellous.
