101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster (Motorbooks Workshop)

Very informative and some good suggestions for your Porsche. Get it, you won't be sorry.

Great book for the do it yourselfer . Fun to knock of the projects now I need to find it again or buy a new one!

Great book with lots of information not availble elsewhere.I have a pretty decent workshop and have always worked on my own cars (I own & restored several vintage cars and motorcycles). When I began considering the purchase of my 2005 Boxster I was somewhat apprehensive due to the lack of information available outside the official Porsche channel. The thought of being at the mercy of my local dealer sent chills up my spine. In fact, this thought greatly delayed my purchase of what turned out to be a great car.With this book, I am happy to say this situation has changed. This manual goes a long way in taking the mystery out of working on your own Porsche. It is very well organized with clear text and many great photos and tips. I am still reading through it all but already the car looks much less complex to me and my mind is more at ease in terms of what I can do myself to keep ownership costs reasonable.I also like that the author points out known problems with the cars (problems Porsche will not admit to) and solutions available in the aftermarket. Engine design flaws and failure modes are discussed (such as the itermediate shaft bearing failure problem) and the models most affected are identified. I really enjoyed reading the various innovative solutions people have come up with. Photos of various "shop made" tools were also helpful. An example is the the cam shaft holder tool that locks the cam shaft in place within the head when the cam cover is removed.Many owners/enthusiasts of sports cars enjoy being able work on their own cars. Why does Porsche (of all companies) not get this? Cheers to the author (an MIT Engineer)for a job well done!BTW, there are some very good boxter engine rebuild videos on utube... again great to see the information getting out on these cars.

This book has taught me so much about my little Boxster S. Lots of great information about the car.

The book is nice, colored pictures are even better..Nice for the DIY'S. Great low price!

This book will keep you sane while driving your partner CRAZY; As in you wanting to be in the garage doing various Porschephile upgrades and your partner routinely inquiring as when you will be done. Let's keep that at never for now. Great comprehensive book written from an enthusiast's perspective. Just knowing what needs doing and how it is done even if you do not have the requisite skills will keep everyone honest and realistic with these wonderful P-Cars. Enjoy; purchase with no reservations as recommended by a fellow Porsche owner.

Has helped me learn my new to me 22 year old car and feel confident doing things myself. Great step by step instructions with detailed pictures. In the past month it’s helped me save over $1000 in labor fees, and it’s been fun/rewarding. I’m actually enjoying the car more since getting this book. So many more projects I want to tackle. I highly recommend.

This is essential reference material for any Boxster owner, whether they are doing their own repairs or hiring them out. The book has many tips unavailable elsewhere that make owning the car, that is renown for it's cost of maintenance, less of a burden. The author outlines in detail the step-by-step procedure for everything from oil changes to replacing the convertible top with one with a glass window. For $22 you get a wealth of knowledge that will literally save you thousands owning and repairing this fun and exciting car. Start with this book.I'd like to point out too that Wayne's website 101projects.com and his firm pelican parts.com are invaluable resources for materials and information. The author is dedicated to helping the Boxster owner community and we should all tip our hats to him for his commitment and service to us.

Excelente compra muy buen libro me ha ayudado mucho en reparaciones de este modelo

As the owner of a new to me 1998 Boxster this book is an excellent resource to understand the inner workings. It is beautifully illustrated and includes web links to get all the parts for every project. I recommend this book whether or not you plan to do your own maintenance; either way it will give you insight.

Het boek is in het Engels. (er bestaat ook een Duitse versie van)Het is opgebouwd uit 101 projecten die gegroepeerd zijn en voorzien van een kleurtje per groep.Vb vering - remmen enz.Er is een zeer duidelijke en handige index.Voorzien van duidelijke foto's

Aimant travailler sur mes voitures, je prend toujours la RTA, ce qui est le cas pour ma Boxster mais ce livre est un must have et aborde différemment les sujets.Si vous aimez bricoler, avez une Boxster vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermer.Attention le livre est en anglais mais avec tous les outils à disposition sur les téléphones ce ne sera pas une gêne pour vous.

Se hai una Boxster 986 o 987.1 trovi quasi tutto quello che serve sapere.
