Cam Arnott Posted 18December, 2023 Report Share Posted 18December, 2023 On the hunt for a good 987 manual, no longer wanting a 986. Made an offer on a 987 on the weekend but the owner decided to keep it...... Ideally no more than circa 100,000kms, full service history and preferably not black. Bonus points if its in SA Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted 18December, 2023 Report Share Posted 18December, 2023 Just out of random curiosity, what made you decide on 987 over 986? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Arnott Posted 18December, 2023 Author Report Share Posted 18December, 2023 Honestly I like both and would happily have a 986 but my other half who the car is for prefers the more modern look of the 987 😉 WB997.2GTS and JWM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, do 987s have any engine related issues on the track.? Are they as robust as 981s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect they may still require the deep oil sump like 996 and 997's do if they are consistently tracked. Otherwise possible oil starvation issues???? Jeff @MFX may have a better idea....

I am no expert on the 987. That said when I had mine the research I did was that they are generally going to be Ok for the odd track day on street tyres. I have seen plenty of stock 987s at the track with no issues. If you are going to really start pushing things with heavy track use and sticky tyres, then you could possibly have issues on some tracks with oil starvation.

JB911 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago If you are going to track the car seriously, resulting in significant G-force effect on the oil, it's worth considering: 1. Motorsport oil sump baffle upgrade 2. Motorsport air/oil separator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
