    Thanks. This is AeroKit I. On it, the electric spoiler that moves up and down is removed and a plastic plate takes it's place. To fill the gap left by the movable spoiler a longer tunk lid made of plastic is installed. I now think I am confused by "I" and "eye." See, there is a factory Aerokit I and II, and a combination of both.
  2. Tool Pants
    I need to see a picture of the rear of you car with the tunk lid open and closed, because your question makes no sense to me.

    This is a problem. The inside diameter of one of the cup bushings is too large. The other bushing is ok, a snug fit like it should be. Strange that they are not both machined the same. If I was to put the shift in a car with that bushing the way it is the lever would rock.

    I had better send out a warning on the Porsche Club GB forum to all the 986/996 owners in the Liverpool area. Watch out for Berny and his screwdriver....

    On a RHD car the cable is on the opposite side.

    Got sample....

    That is ok. I thought they were reversed due to the color and machining marks. Right now, I have a problem with doing a comparison. The diameter of the 2 cup bushings are not the same on the ebay special....

    Blue2000s. On the 986forum you said the the teflon bushing (that you had made) is on the right, the stock on the left. Did you reverse them in you post? The reason I ask is that the bushings on my clone looks just like the bushing on the right in your picture - down to the machining marks inside the bushing at the bottom of the bushing. Also, the color of the material of my clone bushings is the same as the bushing on the right in your picture. My bushings are sort of yellow, not bright white.

    Was at the parts department today and asked them to pull a filter. It is made by Hengst. http://www.hengst.de/index.php Parts guy said MSR was about $18. Guess Hengst will sell filters to Porsche for a penny less than Mahle or Mann.... Plus, it has a pretty green o-ring inside the Porsche box.
  12. Tool Pants
    That is a good idea. Wonder why no one has thought of this before. You should patent it and sell it to Porsche. Will make it easier to replace the switch when the replacement switch goes bad....

    The Wix was 19.95. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...9454&hl=wix I thought the o-ring seal at each end of the Wix was clever.

    As stated above, remove the fuse cover and see if a prior owner did a DRL hack. Look at your door sticker to see if it is a Canadan car.

    The Porsche short shift in the picture above was installed in a local 996 over 3 years ago, so I cannot compare it to the ebay special. The Porsche flavor is the same as B&M except for the color. Blue2000s had bushings made for the ebay special. http://www.986forum.com/forums/showthread....ighlight=delrin I do not like the sloppy fit of one of the bushings in the ebay clone. In the post above I called it an insert. I guess the proper name is cup bushing. Might have some cup bushings made like you did.

    Where is your car? A few years ago I did the retrofit on a December 1996 owned by one of the local guys. He was lucky because he got the sensor from a wrecking yard and they also sent him the front trunk wiring harness. It had the connector that the sensor plugs into, the gromet for the wires, everything. I only needed to separate the temp sensor harness from the horn harness. You also need 2 electrical pins that go into the white connector next to the brake booster. This will give you a start. Look up the sensor in PET and then look at all the little parts listed under the sensor. You need those parts as well, otherwise there is nothing to plug the sensor into.

    Go to a work on cars day and someone will help you put them in. There is supposed to be one January 27th.
  19. Tool Pants
    What month and year was your Boxster made? If it did not come with the outside temp sensor then it is not pre-wired for it.
  20. Tool Pants
    Did the old version use to look like this ebay picture? If so, then it does not look like the part number changed.
  21. Tool Pants
    That is interesting. Got to get my hands on that filter and compare it to the 3 others. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...4&hl=filter Porsche recently changed filter part numbers yet again. I wonder if the Porsche supplier changed from Mahle to Mann? It could be Wix next time around....

    CDC-3 which is the same as the Becker 2660. But the Becker 2660 has been discontinued and is replaced by the 7860. But the 7860 is smaller and has a memory problem.
  23. Tool Pants
    Well, at least your friend's 996 has a country code. My Boxster, without a country, C00. My DME was replaced 2 years ago and the old code (C02 for the US) that had been in the original DME was not put in the new DME.

    When I plugged in my 996 ebay cluster to test it the volt meter worked. Problem was, the middle LCD was defective. So I never finished the project by putting in the 996 oil pressure sender and running the wire. But Loren is going to give me his perfect 996 cluster. He even has Boxster red....
