    If you press MAIN and TRIP together at the same time what does it show? (From the next page) Also if you then scroll down to the Telephone module and press the right hand knb what does it then show? Have you also thought about putting the mic in the steering column where the grill for the stock mic goes?
  2. Nick_USA
    Do you have any photos of the tooki unit itself and what power supply did you wire it to, switched or constant supply ?
  3. Nick_USA
    It's mounted from within the bumper so you will need to whip that off first. You're not tinkering already are you? :huh: Pop The washer jet is mounted inside the bumper, however I just want to remove the silver nozzle head not the complete washer system. ps. Yes I have been tinkering..... I have set of deviating washer nozzles on the way from Eric at Bumperplugs.

    I'm not selling mine anyhow nor do I expect a premium. I am not one of those lucky aka greedy people who bought a GT3 or GT3 RS and then sold it back to a dealer plus a tidy profit. You should always buy a Porsche to own and enjoy, speculate on the stock market and not the future resale value of a Porsche.

    How do you remove the head light nozzle that protrudes through the bumper? Is it just a case of tugging?
  6. Nick_USA
    ...another sign of the clutch going would be the smell, similar to burning rubber.

    Nick this is an impressive car to say the least!!! Any idea of when it is going to be released in the US or a ballpark of the MSRP Man...This is the car I want! March 2008 is the global release date and the only MSRP on the press release is 63,873 Euros , the S base price 53,500 Euros (pre-tax). You can do the sums the base S price in the US is $55,700. My 2008 LE S was $59,900 MSRP. So I would expect this to come in between $62-64K.

    Yet another limited edition from Dr Porsche: RS60 Spyder

    I'm always interested in saving money and avoiding the dealers, so post away.
  10. Nick_USA
    I have never done this. In all the times I have had the battery out, I have always had the ignition off.
  11. Nick_USA
    Yes, disconnecting and reconnecting has been known to work.
  12. Nick_USA
    When you did the speaker test, you did reconnect the fiber optic cable?
  13. Nick_USA
    There are always choices, however, some options cannot be fitted after market and some are dead easy: Those which cannot or are cost prohibitive include: PCCB PASM Sports Chrono (although there are options on flashing if you do not like the chrono clock) Full leather or leather options (with the exception of steering wheel, gear shifter and e-brake) Some exclusive options you cannot obtain the parts unless you provide a cars VIN that had the options fitted at factory Some options to consider and are available as aftermarket install are: Sports shifter Spacers Painted interior options (Check out bumperplugs website) PCM PSE Aerokit The are lots of others to consider, but remember its your money, if you are prepared to wait order the car you want and don't pick a car off the dealers lot that you are going to change out the options that you do not want after you drive it off the lot.

    I have checked the 07/08 arder guides and the PCNA website: 2007: GT3 - $106,000 GT3RS - $123,000 2008: GT3 - $107,500 GT3RS - $124,900 However, my previous comment still applies, don't expect to pay sticker price unless you are one of those special favoured people who Porsche calls with a slot!!!
  15. Nick_USA
    If you can get a 'slated' slot you could possibly get MSRP. However, certainly on the 07 allocation the dealers were ordering the cars registering them then adding $20-25K above the MSRP. I have noticed cars moving between states, but they are getting away with this. I am sure that the same will be true with the 08 models, and I have also noticed the trade in 'slots' where a potential buyer pays for the slot then also has to by the car!!!

    You could trying calling Werks Composites (www.werksone.com) a spin off from champion motorsports. They do make carbon fiber boxes for 997s but they may also have an airbox for the 987.

    Thanks... good luck with yours. By the way the other nameless place is but 5 minutes from mine. Danbury is 45 minutes from here but worth the drive. If you are nearer to Pepe in NY state they are pretty good too and their workshop is larger than Danburys. But all in I like the more personal service of Danbury.
  18. Nick_USA
    They are really the best of the local bunch, although I do like the parts department at Greenwich (albeit I wouldn't trust them with anything else). Out of the local dealers, the sales guys at Danbury went that extra mile to make sure all my requests were carried out to the letter. I have also used the service department with no problems to date. Unlike the previously mentioned more local dealership where they treated my wife like an idiot (she is an engineer so they were on a loser to start off) and tried to recommend extra unnecessary work was required before they had even inspected the car!!! Hope that helps.

    Welcome to the 'Pumpkin Patch' :) (I am still loving the package that Porsche has put together)
  20. Nick_USA
    Hello Loren, So you now have the Piwis, it is very hard to get from Porsche unless you are a factory Dealer or a Real Auto Repair shop with to many strings attached. I have seen a Bootleg version of it, but a word to the wise, the Fed,s are starting to look at shops or individuals with counterfit Factory Electronic equipment. Ask me how I know. We are all ears....let me guess you are a Fed ?

    Looks like the engine lifting bracket.

    The disc for America covers these countries: Brasil Canada Hawaii Mexico Puerto Rico USA the part number for the latest disc (05/2007) is 997.642.257.05 (Works in PCM 2.1 (Boxsters/Caymans/911 unsure if same for Cayenne)).
  23. Nick_USA
    You aren't doing anything wrong, the Individual Memory should be on the same screen as the Main and PCM options but I do remember that you have to have a key in the ignition and the ignition has to be on for the option to be there, try that first. If not then check that your car does indeed have Sports Chrono Plus, option 640 (Check the options sticker) if it does then perhaps it is a PCM coding issue.
  24. Nick_USA
    I second that on the ReJeX .... may not give you the best shine but it will protect the paint.

    Here's a couple more photos of my 2008 LE Boxster S: The classic shot: and the Pipes from below:
