    Engine Numbers ...and before you ask ;) Transmission Numbers

    Plugs 1 and 4 are the tough ones since the exhaust is partly in the way. Those two will taken as long to remove as the other four put together. The right tools are essential to removing the spark plugs. I use a ball-socket hex wrench (or do you say spanner?) for the coils. The plugs will need a small 3/8 inch drive socket wrench, a 4 inch "wobbler" extension and of course a deep spark plug socket. For plugs 1 and 4 you might find it easier to loose the spark plug then remove the wrench and wobbler extension and then use the extension (or a shorter one) to pull the plug and the plug socket out. Yes, the coils are just that. Did you notice that most modern auto designs no longer have one large ignition coil? The coil packets now do this individually. So, if you have a cracked coil - by all means replace it.

    See if you can get the part numbers on the invoice or worse case (it takes about 30 seconds) remove one. Sounds like halogens.

    Same limit - just more power

    Well, you may be the first to accomplish this without destroying at least one piece of the old strips. I guess my hands are too big ;)

    Do you have a later car with a glove box? If so, did you remove the glove box to get to the screws?

    Just drill holes in the end of the pads at the same distance (from the backing plate) as the OEM pads.

    Porsche quotes no performance gains for the PSE.

    Try doing a search this has been covered many times here...

    Look for silver hood emblems not black.

    Hmm... never taken that one off. You could always remove the C panel (the whole piece that goes over the rear window). Then you could see what is in back of that piece. C Panel just snaps off by pulling (gently). Four clips as I remember.

    There are three pages of Boxster top issues here and I am sure that this has already been covered. Have you looked through the other posted solutions?
  15. Loren
    Inside lights, alarm, and power windows are all on the same circuit. Have you checked to see that there is a good 15 A fuse in C3 (Third row down, third fuse from the left). And all of those do go through the alarm unit so... they could be right.
  16. Loren
    Yes, I think so. You may still need to remove the lower ball joint in the front to get the strut assembly in.

    To remove the radio you need the Becker keys. About $2 from Becker or both Jeff (Tool Pants) and I have a set. (photo courtesy of Tom Morris)

    No, if it is done by a dealer it will be a factory "approved" program. If it is done by a 3rd party - you are on your own (warranty wise).
  19. Loren
    Re-program the DME. Either with a factory program or a 3rd party program.
  20. Loren
    From what you describe it sounds like the MAF is a good place to start. Search here to find the cheaper Bosch part online - and make sure you order for the right model and year (since they changed).
  21. Loren
    Yes, it is from the Aerokit II package.
  22. Loren
    Since it is only one cylinder it is likely the spark plug, ignition coil (on that plug), cable to the plug, or a bad injector.

    It is my understanding that the driver was going approximately 150-165 MPH down the front straight of the track when a Ferrari pulled out from the pits and into his driving path. He swerved to avoid a collision with the Ferrari and lost control of the CGT and then slammed into a wall. It has been confirmed that the driver of the CGT was RennTech.org contributing member ben, lj (Bejamin Miles Keaton). Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ben's family... we have lost a great Porsche enthusiast and member... this is a very sad day. RIP Ben

    Fold up the cap, unscrew the hexagon nut, lift and detach the spring washer and wiper arm.

    The Porsche TSB that describes how to install the GT Rear Side Skirts says the kit has templates for drilling and mounting the side skirts with the screws. No epoxy.
