I fitted a dansk to a previous 3.4 996 and thought it was great.

I have absolutely no need for one and have an A110 in the garage but for some reason one of these is calling to fill a 'modern classic' space and provide something cheap and cheerful to tinker with.

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.

So after parting with my E36 328i sport that I had owned for the last 21 years after a deal was put to me based on a swap and other factors involved , I am now the owner of a 986 3.2 S !! It has been meticulously looked after , IMS/RMS all taken care of , a top end refresh, some internals upgraded , Dansk sports exhaust, H&R suspension and Arbs , just a few mods to mention, this is a real little beast and just eats up b roads and gains speed very quickly, more to come but here are some images, a lovely example and I feel lucky to now own her, coming from many years in the BMW scene any guidance is welcome surrounding the Boxster, I’ve already done the snorkel mod 👌🏻🤣
Looks lovely and sounds well sorted.
There's just something so lovely and simple about the 986 and 987.
I hope you are your little co driver have lots of fun in it.
Thanks buddy, she really seems a peach, fitting new rear tuning forks this weekend but apart from that she wants for nothing. Yep the co driver is loving the 986 🤣👌🏻

They went through some fallow years, but the 986 is getting better and better looking with age. I'm going to look at a pre-facelift 2.7 tomorrow. I have absolutely no need for one and have an A110 in the garage but for some reason one of these is calling to fill a 'modern classic' space and provide something cheap and cheerful to tinker with. At under £4k it's almost a steal.
how's the exhaust?
I fitted a dansk to a previous 3.4 996 and thought it was great. have got a lovely 986s and my only real criticism is the oem exhaust
