    MY99 to MY 01 use the same gear boxes. Only C2 vs. C4 are different.
  2. Loren
    235 will fit under all conditions that I have seen. Some 245s may rub a little at full lock but will likely be okay too. I assume you are talking stock wheel offsets.

    The blue and black cables have nothing to do with the shifters "tightness". They adjust the cable throw on the transmission. If you are having trouble getting into a gear move the black cable one notch at at time and then test. As msindni said the Blue cable is for reverse.

    Jimmy, I think you have Suncoast Porsche in Florida confused with Sunset Imports in Oregon. Sunset Imports in Oregon sells Porsche factory parts at cost plus a small handling charge. You can find them here

    It is part of the engine cooling circulation system. So, if it is leaking expect that your overflow tank will be a little low.

    Porsche does not take wheels in for trade. Some venders like Wheel Enhancement do. Their trade-in value will be based on the wheels condition (and whether they can repair it it and sell it as used). Your Turbo Look rear wheel is part number 993 362 140 04. The retail price is $679.80.

    :lol: Standard Feature ^^^

    Nothing is wrong. On US and Canadian cars there is only one rear fog light (so that people are not confused with the brake lights). This is true for Porsche, Mercedes and BMW also.

    Sorry... those things do happen. If the damage is not too bad then have a look at NASA racer Pete's DIY here. Or folks can recommend a wheel repair house in your area. Finally, if you need the part number and price then give us the wheel width, and MY of your car.

    :D
  11. Loren
    No. Also, body type (coupe or cab), 2WD or 4WD, and transmission type (6 speed or Tip) make a difference. All of these combinations make up for different vehicle weights/weight distribution.

    I sent you the two Boxster TSBs for wheels and tires (to your Hotmail address).

    K 996 347 804 90 Red K 996 347 804 91 Blue I believe the "K" designates special order only
  14. Loren
    Yup... the same.
  15. Loren
    Have a look at the Maintenance Checklists. Boxsters are pretty much the same.
  16. Loren
    Have a look at this thread
  17. Loren
    Have a look here in the DIY section. It is covered in the 3rd Radiator Install.
  18. Loren
    It is actually an oil - water heat exchanger. If there is any sign of a leak I would get it corrected as soon as possible.
  19. Loren
    You will need to remove the plastic belly pan as it is under this and looking towards the front of the car. Here it is on a Boxster (996 is the same location). Gas will run down your arm... :( Jeff's pic
  20. Loren
    Yes, as Rob said... coupes, cabs, targas and 2WD or 4WD and 6-speed or Tip all affect the cars weight and spring rates. Give Gert your car specs and he will make sure you get the right spring set (i.e. year, model (C2, C4, etc.) body style (coupe, cab, etc.) and transmission (6-sp or Tip).
  21. Loren
    You've got mail...

    The shift knob is a 5 minute job. The handbrake might take an unexperienced person 1 hour. This might be a good time to consider a short shifter -- since you have to take the center console out for the handbrake anyway. If you have a stock shifter knob it just pulls off (lift the boot and if there is no set screw then it is the standard shifter). B&M Short Shifter Install Instructions with console removal instructions. The handbrake requires removal of the console which will require a small screwdriver and a Torx T-20 and T-30 bits. The nuts that hold the handbrake on are 13 mm (as I recall). Replacing the Handbrake (DIY)

    Just to clarify... I did not say the front was not an M030 variety. I said the rear is different from any other rear spring/shock configuration.
  24. Loren
    Not exactly... The US 40th anniversary car gets special springs and shocks for the rear only (spring color code grey/grey) that are different than the RoW M030. As a matter of fact the RoW version of the 40th anniversary car gets yet a different set of rear springs and shocks (spring color code green/green). I think the shocks are just a little stiffer. The spring and "official" ride heights have not yet been published in the tech manuals.

    I generally add half a quart at a time and then re-check. You do not want to over fill and the bars do not need to be at the top (full).
