    :welcome: Please do a search here as this topic has been covered many times.

    My name is Loren. Try 3274 or 3272

    Zero performance increase (unless you couple it with headers and chipping) - and even then not much. It does sound very good though (IMHO).

    Unscrew fastening screws 1 at the sides of the rear bumper 2. Check sheet metal nuts 3, replace if needed. Unscrew fastening screws 1 at the top and bottom of the rear bumper 2. Pull the rear bumper 2 carefully backwards until the plug connection can be reached. Press lug (arrow) of the plug connection 4 and disconnect it. Remove rear bumper. --------------------------------------------------------------- Install is the reverse... plus: Check the gap dimensions of the tailpipes 5 for the rear bumper 2 , adjust tailpipes 5 if necessary. Projection from rear bumper: Y = 2 mm. Distance from rear bumper: Z = 27±1 mm. Center distance at the sides evenly to the left and right.

    Normal position is with the pedal up.

    Yes, Porsche says it is lifetime coolant - as long as it is not contaminated.

    RoW rear for your MY should be 986 333 531 11 504 (marked red/red).
  8. Loren
    That rear spring is for a MY97-02 Boxster, 5 speed, standard suspension.

    DIY on Robin's site

    Your MY car needs PCM 1 which that is. It will not be an easy install though - you will need to add all of the wiring and cables - not impossible but difficult. You really might want to consider an after market NAV system which have great deal more capabilities and are easier to install.

    Brake disc wear limit (minimum) Front: 26.0 mm Rear: 22.0 mm If it were my car I would replace them.
  12. Loren
    What year is your car?
  13. Loren
    Use the release on the side of the radio to release the keys. The keys are not needed to put the radio back in.
  14. Loren
    Have you checked the brake booster for water? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=79485

    C2 and C4 transmission removal shows the same in the Porsche Labor Book - 3.7 hours. While they are there they should check the RMS and IMS for leaks. On a MY99 they should check that you have the later version release lever and replace if needed. They should do the factory torque test on the DMF - but it should be okay if it was not damaged or abused. Unless you track the car heavily I recommend sticking with the Porsche standard disc and pressure plate.
  16. Loren
    Well, if you too the cam covers off then you likely lost the cam timing (when the camshafts came loose). Might be worth a minimal core charge to an engine rebuilder - unless their is serious internal damage.
  17. Loren
    Best check the pressure accumulator.
  18. Loren
    Based on the engine mount that is still on the engine - it looks like the engine is from a Boxster. If I were to guess - I would guess 2.5 liter from the pics.
  19. Loren
    1. Yes, 44 psi is the factory recommended for 18 inch tires. Chassis stiffness - Porsche stiffened the chassis starting in MY02. 2. Then they are a knock off of BBS. There are a number of similar wheels by Fiske, HRE and I am sure many more. 3. Good luck with the dealer.
  20. Loren
    Wide body shocks vs. narrow body car, travel differences - plus weight differences. I doubt they would work very well.
  21. Loren
    I would look for a leaking water pump. It would make sense to open the front engine plate and check the polrib belt and the pulleys too.
  22. Loren
    :welcome: 1. Porsche recommends 44 psi the rear tires - but they do not recommend anything over a 285/30 x 18 for MY99 and older cars. 2. Looks like BBS LM to me. 3. Write down your VIN and call your local dealer and ask them to look the VIN up in their database. Hopefully, there will be a record there.
  23. Loren
    No VarioCam fault codes? That would be unusual - but I won't say impossible. The key is if the actuator is replaced - and if the problem persists. For your sake I hope it does fix it.
  24. Loren
    :welcome: Yes, but you may need to transfer the tailpipe tips - I am not sure if the C4S tips will line up properly on narrow body cars rear bumper cutouts.
  25. Loren
    Yes, left side on most cars is drivers side - but we do have folks from the UK, Australia and Japan here too. Check the connections at the seat belts are plugged in at the B-pillar and check the connections under the seat including the large bundle of wires that are tied to the chassis ground. You are looking for corrosion or signs that things got wet there.
