Porsche wanted to take the everyday out of every day and when they\u2019re flying it\u2019s easy to feel that this is a box, ticked. But this being Porsche, the finest engineered car out there, we can offer a few tips and tricks to get even more. Let\u2019s go!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Design 911: The Wheel Deal.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Understatement alert: On a performance car, your choice of wheel really matters. It\u2019s not easy to find something that not only looks the part, but also transfers all that grunt evenly where the rubber hits the road. So, choose these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/porsche\/boxster-718-manual--300-bhp\/alloy-wheels-20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">original Porsche 20-inch &#8216;911 Turbo&#8217; forged alloy wheels<\/a>. One-piece, with 10 double spokes in two-tone look and perfect for summer, they look the part and deliver where it matters most. Winter\u2019s a different story and we recommend these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.design911.com\/porsche\/boxster-718-manual--300-bhp\/bbs-wheels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBS FI-R alloys in satin black<\/a> are machined from a solid raw block of high grade aluminium.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.design911.com\/p\/superturismo-aero-hlt-20-wheel-set-8-5jx20-et54-and-10j-et45-star-graphite-oz-racing-for-porsche-982\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"wp-image-7918 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/SuperturismoAero_StarGraphite.jpg\" alt=\"SUPERTURISMO AERO HLT 20&quot; WHEEL SET 8,5J ET54 AND 10J ET45 STAR GRAPHITE OZ RACING\" \/><\/a> SUPERTURISMO AERO HLT 20&#8243; WHEEL SET 8,5J ET54 AND 10J ET45 STAR GRAPHITE OZ RACING<\/p>\n<h2><strong>On the fly? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While we\u2019re talking about wheels, it\u2019s worth noting that if your clutch pedal is stiff, you\u2019re struggling to change gear, there\u2019s a \u2018scratchy\u2019 noise from your engine at lower revs or a rattling sensation going through the gears, your flywheel could be on the way out. And that\u2019s bad.<\/p>\n<p>They tend to fail between 80-100,000 miles so worth thinking about when your 718 is next due on the ramp. Your flywheel will be single, or dual mass \u2013 i.e. with one flywheel attached to the crankshaft and the other to the clutch. Choose yours from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/porsche\/boxster-718-manual--300-bhp\/flywheel---torque\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our range \u2013 which includes a fitting kit<\/a>.
