A lady actually shouted "small willy" at me when I down shifted mine in a quiet village yesterday. Ngl made my day to be noticed 😂

[@ktran991]

What does “small Willy” mean?

[@carchaps]

Brilliant! I had a guy call me a twat for parallel parking in it once hahah

[@carchaps]

It translates from the Latin “gentleman’s sausage”

[@Walchben]

I've had "penis extension" before 😭😭

They are awesome cars but only buy one with plenty of options like cruise, heated seats, Bose, climate, full leather and a good colour. Bear in mind clutches last a max of 70k miles and cost with fly wheel £2,100, brakes all round are £800 with discs, tyres are £900 a set and a suspension refresh is a good £2000 plus geometry. Oh and Porsche PCCM+ for apple car play etc is £1700 fitted at the Porsche OPC. But they were £50k cars new with options and once these items are address they are incredible machines.

The clutches will last pretty much forever if you rev match your downshifts. But most owners don't know how to do that, which is why clutches tend to be toast after or before 70k miles.

[@martinboulden4388]

@@flat6croc I’ve owned Boxster since 1998 and owned over 16 of them and all manual covering over 1.8m miles of town, motorways and touring in Europe. And I stand by my original comment that a clutch is good for 70k miles !

[@flat6croc]

@@martinboulden4388 Then you're doing it wrong, I'm afraid! I've owned two 986s and four 987s and taken three original clutches over 100k miles and one to over 130k miles. Do you rev match all your downshifts? I suspect not. If you rev match your downshifts and don't ride the clutch in traffic, the clutch will last almost indefinitely and certainly well above 70k miles.

@@flat6croc I own an independent Porsche Garage in UK and Spain with an average of 60 cars in stock.
Yes I must be doing something wrong !
Thanks 🙏

[@flat6croc]

@@martinboulden4388 If you're wearing clutches out in 70k, you certainly are!

The problem is we only see you and not enough the car !!

If the car could review itself it would

Monster of a car …

[@carchaps]

Couldn’t agree more

[@flat6croc]

The rev limiter cuts in at 7,300rpm on a 987.1, so if you're revving it to 8k, it's been remapped for a higher limiter and that's an extremely bad idea.

[@carchaps]

Hahaha I miss spoke, I meant the rev counter goes to
8. Not revving to 8 I’m not a psychopath 🤣

[@stephenfoster6940]

Are you *actually* taking it to 8,000 rpm? That’s well past the redline and puts unnecessary stress on the engine for no performance gain.

[@carchaps]

Haha no I’m definitely not 😂😂

[@klsgunner9664]

Girls car!

Original 🤣
