    dj996 - sorry I had forgotten about that write-up. I guess I should pin it.

    From the Carrera Approved Summer Tire & Wheel TSB (dated 8-10-2004): If it isn't on the list then it likely won't fit.

    Only a CDC-4 will work with the CDR-23.

    Here is my understanding... The Porsche System Tester 2 (PST2) is made for Porsche by Bosch. Porsche has now changed over to a newer version called "PIWIS". The original PST2 was derived from the Bosch KTS500 and the newer PIWIS is derived from the Bosch KTS 650. It uses a specialized OS that's not quite Windows. You need to dedicate a laptop to the application. It also requires a hardware interface PCMCIA card. Independent shops can purchase the testers and I have heard prices from $4000 - $8000 for the tester (with PCMCIA card and cables). The software updates come via CD subscription and run about $2500 per year. Updated are as required by not more than one per month and usually much less. I think Tool Pants has more pics of the PIWIS and the interface cards.

    Well... the strut that comes on a Carrera (standard) and the GT3 Cup Cars are the same (see below). So if a Cup Car does not need an additional strut brace why would a Carrera? I rest my case. :soapbox:

    Although likely possible - probably not practical from a financial point or time and effort. You don't have the wiring in the harness for the relays, switches and control indicator, the wheel sensors, the rate-of-turn sensor, the lateral acceleration sensor, the steering angle sensor, the brake booster pump, the DME program changes, or control module.

    I think all you need is the RTS (986 801 055 01 - updated part number) and one of carriers: Ski Holder (996 801 091 00) Bicycle Holder (000 044 000 48) (updated part number) Surfboard Holder (996 801 019 00)

    If your car is a US/Canada car and you want an official list then you can order a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. The cost id about $95 as I recall but they will send you an official statement of what factory options came with the car. Here is a link to download the order form PCNA Certificate of Authenticity Or, you could look for a sticker under your front (should also be one in the original owners manual) that has a list of codes on it (i.e. 030, 696, etc.etc.). Post those codes here and we can help decipher them.

    Looks like it should be going to the battery vent. Does your battery have a vent? - it should.

    An RoW car is one built for markets outside of the US and Canada. So your car is a US/Canada legal car.
  11. Loren
    US or RoW car? The alarms are different.
  12. Loren
    Do a search for instrument cluster - there is lots here.
  13. Loren
    Behind the front bumper. Less than an hour to replace both. See the DIY Section 3rd Radiator Install for instructions on how to remove the front bumper.
  14. Loren
    1. 285's with the caveat that you need at least 8" front wheels to balance out the handling. Ala GT3 mk1. 2. As negative as suggested specs allow. A little more tire wear but improved handling.

    Harman = Becker

    The only instruction I have a re for the GT3 Club Sport bar. I think the 4 point bar is the same as the full roll cage (6 point) without the front section. Perhaps they are similar enough to help. I'll send you a PM.

    I am aware of that - of course you can add Porsche parts - that is what we help folks with here. When you said aftermarket I assumed you meant non-Porsche parts. In many cases Porsche prohibits their suppliers from re-selling parts or systems designed for Porsche. There have been a few exceptions but I think your best bet is to try a Porsche parts discounter like Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost link at the top of the page).

    If you are only getting a P1126 then theat would indicate the problem is on the cylinder 4-6 side (passenger side on a Carrera).
  19. Loren
    You need to state what year, model and current sound system your car is. Some of the later MOST (fiber optic) systems are hard to add on to.

    I personally would not touch an RMS that is not leaking. All the other clutch parts are subject to wear but if a seal is dry I would not touch it.

    997 553 118 01 9L4 Leatherette Lateral Cover (right) in black - retail price shows as $0.00 so they will likely have to fax PCNA for a price.
  22. Loren
    997 553 118 03 FSA Leather Lateral Cover (right) in black/grey If you have option 981 then this is part number - if not you will need the leatherette version.
  23. Loren
    Yes, there is a sensor in the engine compartment. Here are the conditions that he fan should come on at.
  24. Loren
    US order guide? If so, here you go... my03_boxster_s.pdf
  25. Loren
    I made some comments about those manuals here.
