did you have to loosen the primaries at all to get the clamps back on the secondaries where the two cats join? I just fumbled for 2 hours and couldn't get them over the connection point (lip where they meet). Going to try again tomorrow. very frustrated. I've tried both the mad and oem clamps roo realizing the mad ones are simply useless given they are too big to get in there.

I did wonder whether the additional weight of your buddy might have affected the weight distribution, but then you spun again without him ! Very tasty Spyder interior by the way.

What are the symptoms of a failing pump?

good job. keep up the good work. love to have more folks like us making porsche vids. cheers.

awesome sound

Do you happen to have what's written on the side of the pump itself? Like a part number or a parts name?

Can't wait to see your videos of all these planned jobs. Appreciate your efforts. Cheers

I have a 2004 s It actually looks nicer than yours, I love it!

I’m sure I said it before but I’d take the actual airbag out of each seat if I were you, even if they aren’t connected.

Hasn’t this been uploaded before?

I went on NGK website and tried to find parts. For M5 F90 it didn't show any compatible spark plugs. And when I opened 97506 manually, it showed the compatibility with these V8 models: M550i G30 and M5 F10, but not F90. AutoZone also indicates that NGK 97506 is NOT COMPATIBLE for some reason. And the Bosch (BMW part 12-12-0-054-451) are Platinum, not Iridium. Is it safe to use NGK??

Nice video. I can use the OEM plugs. The NGK and gapping them aren’t necessary even on stage 2 tune. With the S63tu on the F10 and F12, F13 yes you needed to do this. With the F90, F93 you don’t.

Hi where did you get the metal coolent tank

Is it possible to check the condition of the mount without actually removing it?

Very interesting thank you for sharing.

I own #1516 here in the UK. Mine has black leather and I'm a little envious of the brown! Fantastic car with some great extras. I've done a few of the easier jobs on mine but will soon replace the (original) shocks with Bilstein. Also I think I have a third gear synchro issue (when cold), the reverse light switch is gone, and I have no evidence the IMS has been done, so ill be taking the gearbox out at some point and kill several birds with one stone. Also a clutch-related component creaks when the pedal is depressed, only when hot, and only noticeable at low speeds. Read some different ideas on that in forums but can live with it for now. But it still drives superbly and is amazing fun! Looking forward to more of your vids!

Hello, great video, after installing the downpipe, I have an exhaust smell in the cabin and when I open the windows this smell is very strong, do you have any idea?

Pls record in landscape mode next time!

Hope you reglued the emblems on your wheel center caps, mate 😅

What car is that?

I thought he was in a pt cruiser at first 😂

Into the sauce way to deep

Also I don't recommend keeping your garage door opener in place like that even if it's autocross. Just saying 😊

I've done the same on track in a 986. Snap oversteer, especially in a mid engine car, is a trip! 😂

Do you have any abnormal sound on deceleration? For example, cruising at 2-3k rpm and let the gas pedal off, and when the car reaches 1.5-1k rpm, there is like purring noise, coming out of muffler. I have the same muffler as you and this strange noise makes me unhappy:( thanks a lot!

Nice work. I'm planning to ceramic coat my 2000 Boxster in the next week or two. I used Avalon King on my 2005 Mercedes C230. It seemed to provide a slightly better gloss than the wax that I had been using. Time will tell whether ceramic coating will be as durable as the marketing claims.

When going from first to second I double clutch and the grind is eliminated. I never had a grind when going from 3rd to second so I only single clutch then. Changes are also smoother when oil is warmer. I intend to address the 2nd gear synchro one day when the clutch needs replacing

Great Video! I Have #0845 of the 550. I bought the same kind of spark plug but cannot find gap info. They came factory gaped at 0.020” but the page says the correct gap is 0.032” . I’m not sure what’s correct? Any ideas?

Great video, beautiful Boxster S 550 and nice driving! And the cocoa brown interior, I just love it. Reupholstered parts will take some time until they color match the "aged" leather.

Any trouble removing the head bolts (at least on the side you removed)? Did you use a wrench or impact? 👍

Thanks for the video!

Thank you for a terrific video. Working on my game plan for DIY. How long did the project take you? Also, did you find out about the other hose clamp?

Your solution to the mangled seat rails showed persistence. I suspect the person who removed the seats from the donor car didn't know the proper technique for removing the seats and decided to cut them out. That decision made more work for him and you. I installed some 997 adaptive sports seats in my 2000 986. I have everything working except the lumbar and inflatable bolsters in the driver's seat. (I installed the seats in my car, but I continue to work on a solution to the lumbar/bolster issue.) I find the seats more comfortable and supportive than the stock 985 and I hope that they will hold me in place better during high performance driver's education session. With regards to your non-functional seat heaters, I offer the following suggestions. First, the component you refer to as "the box" is the seat heater relay. They are known to fail frequently. I suggest that you swap the relay from your 986 seats to your 997 seats and see if that resolves the issue. Second, I couldn't see exactly how you wired the seat heaters. On the 986 seats, the red/white wire is the power wire, and the brown wire is the ground. The red/white wire runs to one of the heating pads and then connects to then connects to the other pad with the black connector. The ground wire runs from the second heating pad and completes the circuit. I connected the red/white wire to the power wire for the 997 seat heaters and the brown wire to the ground. I suggest that you make sure that the red/white wire you used is the one that goes to the power circuit on the relay. I remember having to think about it for a while before I got it right.

Hey man how much room is there when the fuel pump is in place? I’m getting ready to add a secondary lpfp in my g30 540i!!

No need to bleed the lines for air pockets ??

Wish I would have seen this prior to allowing BMW, Bristol to fit their recall replacement tank today (08/10/24)

I’d take the new seats apart and remove the airbag because the explosive is still in there and the car isn’t designed to send the airbag in the correct direction if it ever went off (which they can) if it did it could also set off or react badly with the door airbag

Just did this install myself in the night took my 2 hours to finish it, but then i noticed on the drivers side the clamp where the primary meets secondary was touching the coolant hose. So just a beware for anyone doing this, also not advised by if you don't have an E12 socket, use a 10mm :) i believe its also a 6mm allen socket for the DP hanger bolts

I did the total opposite when I got my 986. It had 987 seats in it already, but I found a pristine set of 986 seats and swapped back. Thankfully the original installer was lazy and never modified any of the wiring!

My heating element on my 986 seats broke. That caused the seat heater to not work. After looking at what it takes to fix it I decided I didn't need heated seats.

Hey man, love the content, what model of quick jack do you have? I know that f10 m5 size wont work on f90

Very helpful viedeo , ni need to lift the car? What about the smell in full catless? Ist always loud in comfort mode too?

That is so f,ing annoying! I just got a new alternator and serpentine belt for my boxster s You definitely need to tell them if it's a tiptronic, with or without aircon etc It's quite important

Where I can get the NGK? I have 2019 M5 f90 competition with stage 2 , I have to go with NGK? And the gap has to be 0.6mm or 0.022? Let me know please And how about the ignition coils ? Delphi it’s good ?

I prefer the silver one you just installed to the BMW replacement, nice video! Easy install other than the sensor removal. Curious Lenarto if you’ve had any valve pan gasket issues before 50k miles?? I’ve read a lot of F90 owners had valve pan gaskets leak in to cylinders 7&8 (drivers side) causing miss fires. They noticed when they did spark plug changes and pulled plugs 7&8 they had oil all over them.

yep garbage, fighting with a seller right now. wants me to pay the return shipping for a refund! It doesn't even fit why should I have to pay for your crap to be shipped back to china!?

better to get the leather repaired than fully reupholstered !

Was there any difference in sound between these and the OEM downpipes?
