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.

Just taken the plunge and bought a Boxster 2.7 ...with a great spec. Tell me, does the rear diff option really add much to the car? It is very well specked apart from the steering wheel....but I'm very happy and I pick it up next week.

Only thing I want to change is the rear pipe for twin pipes. Is it better to get the dealer to do it or to change it myself via an exhaust centre
Thanks
Nick

One my 3rd Boxster a Spyder .The Boxsters are great cars
Congrats on the car. I drive a 997 Turbo coupe but I owned two Boxsters previously a 986 and a 987. They are fabulous cars and I'm toying with the idea of buying another for my daily (miss the roof down aspect).
I had a white 981 2.7 PDK from OPC Wilmslow recently whilst my car was in, and I loved it. Was so nice to get in a soft top again. I enjoyed it so much that when they called the same day to tell me I could collect my car, I asked if I could keep it until the next day I was having so much fun!
Enjoy your new motor. Also check out Boxa.net for a good forum with all things Boxster.
I'm a big forum fan but haven't found anything decent yet, so thanks for the advice. I'm coming from a Z4 E89 which is faster than my Boxster, but I must live the new car if I'm making the change!

If you track it, yes. PTV isn't just brake-steer. It's brake-steer in addition to a mechanically locking limited-slip differential. Without PTV, you have an open diff. The base Boxster has a fair amount of tire for the torque the engine produces, but it can be as slidey as a Mazda MX-5 if you're deliberate with it. As a result, if you drive the balls off of it, or do autocross/track days, the lack of an LSD will be noticed. Though again, considering how much tire the car has, it should be perfectly manageable -- it's much more noticeable on an S.
Is that GT Silver? If so I have one just like it, and the first thing I did is have the exhaust changed to the twin sports tail pipes!
Get the dealer to fit it FOC, it's about an hour's labour, cost £100 plus the pipe at £380!
Here's a pic of my 2.7:-
Hi NickZ4.....I think I recognise you from my previous Z4 period.....white '09 Z, private plate, Richmond area?
Great looking Boxter. I chucked my Z4 in last year for a late 987.1 cayman. No regrets
