I still don't see any leak and I did add coolant. About 1-2 cups. What sucks s my pressure tester doesn't have an adapter for this type of cap. It does fit my 951 coolant cap.
That's two minutes more than I got. You are welcome to borrow my pressure tester if helpful. Just send me a note if you want to use it.

Th 986 do but I haven't heard the 987 having this problem. I'll be putting it on jack stands later this week and look underneath and see what I find.

Tom, yes it's the Boxster. I have a Stant cooling system pressure tester that fits the 951 but not for the 987 or newer Porsche models.

I've been off the grid, so to speak, but look forward to any 951 meets.

Plus, I bought a fancy new camera

I would like to start doing more get together's with the 944 community.

I have my 88 944t that I hope finally gets put back together in about the next 3-4 weeks.

I live in Davis / Sac area. Maybe we can start trying to do once every 6 months?

I could bring the P!G. It's a turbo, fun.

Ok I’ll be there! Still debating whether to stay true to the theme or bring the new car. They’re both guards red turbo Porsches with black interior

  1. I’m in! Tom, bring your new ride....we all know what a red 951 looks like! Maybe give me a ride and show me what the launch control button does? I heard it is insane. This time I will bring the wife’s S2 Cab since she has replaced it.
  2. Crazy thanks for keeping this alive. Chill’s is perfect. Cars, burgers and beer. Who ever thought of cars and coffee just got it wrong.

I’m in as well. My 951 still not registered so I’ll have to bring the other car.

Tom, one of the problems of having a new car is you begin to barely drive the old car. Over time the old car gets jealous and begins to give you problems. Well that’s what happened to me. My 951 sat for long periods and now I can’t pass smog.

Damn! I missed it again! My car is finally back on the road with most of the issues sorted, at least the major ones are. When's the next one?
