Das Porsche Boxster 986 / 987 Schrauberhandbuch (1997-2008)

They are already among the upcoming classics: the Porsche Boxster of the 986 and 987 series. This is precisely why good care and careful maintenance are so important for maintaining the value and road safety of these high-quality sports cars.
Even though the Zuffenhausen mid-engine sports car with water cooling and plenty of electronics can boast complex technology, many of the maintenance and optimization measures that need to be carried out can also be managed by well-equipped hobby mechanics.

Pages of the book Porsche Boxster 986/987 Schrauberhandbuch (1997-08) (1)

Porsche specialist and successful author Wayne R. Dempsey describes the most important work on the engine, chassis, transmission, body and electrics in detailed step-by-step instructions.
In addition to standard maintenance work such as changing engine and transmission oil or changing brake pads and larger projects such as dismantling the engine and replacing the clutch, the author also clearly explains which tuning measures Boxster owners can use to experience the Porsche driving experience even more intensively.
The range extends from chassis tuning with the installation of a sports chassis and special chassis parts to high-performance engine tuning with a turbocharger or compressor.
