  1. What year is your car? I think I might have a schematic around somewhere...
  2. You are joking - I have never heard of that one. Who (and where is the dealer)?
  3. Yes, they will clear. It is recommended that you use at least an 8" front wheel with a 235 (and 8.5 with a 245) width tire. I believe your front wheels are 7.5". When I went to wider front tires I did an exchange with Wheel Enhancement. I got new 8" wheel they got a very good set of used 7.5" wheels. The exchange price made the deal very attractive.
  4. Here is your parts list for the repair. You will need to identify the parts you need. I suggest a discount parts dealer like Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost). boxster_power_steering_parts.pdf
  5. Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost (Sunset Imports)
  6. Castrol Optitemp LG 2 http://www.castrol.com/castrol/productdeta...ntentId=6004156
  7. It holds the shifter in a fixed position - you then can adjust the cables by how they are dropped into the slots on the shifter rods.
  8. We have just added the MY07 owners manuals for the Carrera (997). Boxster (987) and Cayman (987c).
  9. MY99 and MY00 will be very very close. my99_obc.pdf
  10. Yes, the instrument cluster is different, as well as radio and nav systems. Try the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) - I think the last owners manual I got from them was about $18.
  11. I think a Tiptronic problem like that will also throw a P-Code in the 17xx range. It might be good to go to Autozone or some other parts place and get your codes read for free.
  12. Owners manual page 84 and if you have the OBC option page 113 also. Likewise look to the section in your PCM manual titled "Setting Units".
  13. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=42701
  14. I would check the connections on the central locking/alarm control box.
  15. Sure, anything from a 265 to 295 will work on that 10" wheel. I run 285s on my 10 x 18s.
  16. Inside the the hub of the rear rotors.
  17. 996 512 821 90 Adjusting Mechanism 4 Grad 996 512 823 90 Adjusting Mechanism 8 Grad The parts list does not say 1 pair or 2 each but I would assume they are sold in pairs. These are MotorSport part numbers.
  18. Yes 8.5 x 18 et 52 mm should fit without rubbing as long as the tires are under 245 (235 is fine 245 will rub some on lock to lock).
  19. Doesn't that have a fiber optic interface?
  20. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=5 A bad tank sensor is not too uncommon.
  21. I looked for the link to instructions on this site but no luck. Could you help me out? My key is stuck in the on position. :huh: I had to kill the motor and disconnect the battery and then leave the front trunk open so I can get at the battery again. I called the dealer but he just says bring it in. That's a 30 mile tow from here. I do have a shop manual on CD from the UK. It told me to put a wire in the slot along side the tumbler while the key is in and tumbler will just come out. A large paperclip did the job. The key cylinder came out with the key. The key also came out of the cylinder. However, when I cleaned it up and put it back in, the key just gets stuck again, so the problem is the ignition switch. I can't figure out how to get it out without removing the whole dash. UK shop manual is no help there except I get the idea that in order to remove the dash (should that be needed) I first need a PhD in rocket science. (2001 Boxster S) Replacing the Ignition Switch

  23. The process for a GT3 is the same as a Carrera. Have a look at the DIY here to see if it is what you want to try.
  24. probably not if you are careful. Yes, it might take a minute or two to synch then it will ask for the code(s).
