Installed one of Pedro's Technobraces. Super easy, but you have to remember to take out the 4 stabilizer bolts before trying to slide the brace in place. Once done, everything goes together smoothly, and what a difference for $100.00! The car is noticably much tighter in turns under load at speed.

If you live in an area where there are trees that drop small leaves, as I do, you will know that these can sometimes work their way into the convertible top drain wells. If they are small enough they can even wash into the drains themselves causing them to get clogged and to drain slowly and at times overflow.

Some of these things change daily, some weekly and some not at all.
Here is a little trick to help you manage the home page. Each module...

This document also assumes you have basic knowledge working with automotive electronics, handy with tools and have standard screw driver and torx bit set.

DIY Guide to Replacing the Air Filter in the 987/Boxster
You can download the PDF here: Replace Air Filter 987 Boxster.pdf
This is a suggestive guide detailing steps one can take to replace the engine air filter in the 987 (Boxster/Cayman) cars. The first section includes steps to put the Boxster convertible top into service position, as the 2007-on Porsche owner’s manual no longer includes these steps. Putting the top in service position will enable the owner to access the engine bay.
