  1. 987 Cayman/Boxster Problems & Complaints 2005-2012
    I have noticed a slight engine ticking when the engine is idle. I have only noticed it at idle because I sometimes get out and leave the car on, so it may also be at higher rpms as well. The sound can't be heard from inside and is loudest at the rear and by the side air vents. I recently...

    Hi all, My 987 is coming to the point where the seat belts don’t retract so well anymore. Must be due to the fact that the car is over 15 years old. I’ve decided it’s time for replacements and that I’d like to add a touch of color to the interior in the process. I was hoping to see if...
  3. 987 Cayman/Boxster DIY, Service, Repairs 2005-2012
    Hi all! New here! I am in the market for a Boxster and came across a pretty good looking example in aqua blue. Unfortunately, the top does not appear to be sealing properly, and the cabling is exposed on one side. I am aware that just about every 986/987 has the top seated incorrectly (due to...

    For sale is a 987/997 Center Console in Black. I purchased this as a donor for a body-coloured center console respray project to preserve my original console, but eventually decided to go another direction. The console is stripped of all the internal components and ready for paint prep; all the...

    I recently took these off my Cayman S to swap on some new Fabspeed headers. These are completely unmodified and are in working condition/no CEL or anything. I did snap one of the studs taking it out, which I drilled out and replaced with a bolt (shown in pictures). I'm also throwing in some...

    Hi everyone, Name's Kim and I live in SoCal. Had my Carmona Red Boxster S for close to two years with no significant issues until the other day. The rear glass on the top de-laminated from the bottom. Most of the upholstery shops I checked on said to replace the top. Not a cheap fix. Found one...
  7. 987 Cayman/Boxster Problems & Complaints 2005-2012
    Hey, on my 2006 987 Boxster S (Bose, heated seats) both the trunk and the frunk have little lights that are supposed to go on when you open the things. Anybody have an idea why both of them would not be working? Is it just a coincidence? Bulbs seem good (1.8 ohms, no volts). Parts lists...

    Stock 987.1 Cayman bumper cover in Arctic Silver Metallic. Notable cosmetic damage, various paint chips and scratches. One broken tab. Lower vent area is deformed. Originally bought to do a Cayman rear end retrofit on my Boxster but decided to keep it stock. Price is low to reflect condition. OBO.

    Stock OEM exhaust coming off of my 2007 Cayman S that had approximately 67K miles on it. Won't need the exhuast due to an engine swap and it looks to be in decent shape after I cleaned it up a bit. Local pickup would obviously be the best but if I need to ship them out, I do work for a...

    Over the last couple of weeks, and thanks to N_Jay and deilenberger, I can confirm that the alternator had gone west. MOT is due in a couple of weeks and as I was feeling flush, I invested in new discs and pads all round (advisory last year) at the same time. I'm going to need to remove the rear...

    About a month ago I purchased on Amazon the ThinkDiag Bluetooh OBDII Scanner. I bought it to try activating a feature on my RV (Mercedes chassis). It was a well regarded scanner on the Mercedes Sprinter forum where I also hang-out. I figured it would be cheaper and less hassle to do the coding...

    Hi all. On start up my 987 instrument clusters analog dials don't work, digital speedo reads 0 but digital displays work fine. Whats strange is if I take out the B1 15amp Fuse then reinstall, everything jumps back to working completely fine until I turn engine off then I'm back to cluster not...
  13. 987 Cayman/Boxster Modifications 2005-2012
    Can’t seem to find an exact answer, are 981 front calipers a direct swap onto a 987? if they’re a direct bolt on, do I buy 997 rotors and pads? my apologies if this has been covered before - can’t seem to find it.

    Hey all, I apologize for the self-promotion but I've been meaning to share these on here and just keep forgetting. I started a Youtube channel a while back just documenting all of the issues and fixes for my 2010 Cayman wanting to help out the community and just overall keep things for my own...

    Although this is my 2nd 987 and I've already had it since July of 2022, I figured I'd start up a thread I'll regularly update with modifications and maintenance notes during my (planned) long term ownership of this car. As I mentioned above, this is my 2nd 987 - I had my first car, an '07...

    View the videos below. It's hard to tell why or when it happens. Not every time when braking but sometimes when my brakes are warm. I'm sorry for the little detail I can provide but I haven't figured out the cause of it so far. Started noticing it when coming home from my first canyon run but...

    Fellow Planet-9'ers, I recently removed my transmission, not once, but twice*, because once I replaced the dual mass flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate, I heard a horrible squealing sound that turned out to be something else entirely (the AOS). While in there I made the following guide. Part...
