    It comes up at that speed because that is when it is needed from an aerodynamics standpoint. It "spoils" the air flow going over the rear trunk area, creating down-force, for more high speed stability.

    lotusrock, just so I can understand, do you have all 4 new tires or 2 old Conti's up front and 2 new GY's in the rear? Never a good idea to mix tire brands and tread depths.

    Looks great! Get the bumperettes painted...the rear-end will look even better!
  4. White987S
    Those engines look gigantic, when sittting outside of the car!

    What I am saying is that on a 987S manual, the center vent is closed. On a 987S Tip, the center vent is open, and behind it is the trans cooler. Do I have this wrong?
  6. White987S
    My wife would have, and that's the reason I bought mine with a manual tranny!!! Regards, paul... Hey Paul...brilliant! :clapping: Nice color combo on you car.

    I would do the first oil & filter change between 500-1,000 miles.
  8. White987S
    Well, the central front air intake on the 987 S is actually used on the Tip tranny for the 3rd radiator to cool the trans fluid. But, then who would drive an automatic Porsche! :)

    Here is a great read about oil and Porsches: http://www.lnengineering.com/oil.html

    This is what got Spitzer into trouble! :o

    There are 100's of C4S's for sale. Keep looking. You will spend +$10K making those changes.

    Atwnsw, I would just go and negotiate this with State Farm. Try to show them some type of "proof" to support your DV claim of $1,500-2,000. Maybe a well crafted letter from the used car manager from your Porsche dealership and/or a few other letters like this from exotic car dealerships in your area. I think you can prevail. There is a win-win solution here. What if SF says "no"...can you make a claim against your own policy...for example in the underinsured section?

    JonnyHelps, FWI, you can also top-off with distilled water.

    I think parking in a secure garage would be much easier.
  15. White987S
    Very sorry. That sucks. I would say a quality paint job would start at about $6,000. Your insurance should cover this damage.
  16. White987S
    Doug H, are you saying this was the first oil change for a 2001 Boxster?
  17. White987S
    arshadj, oouch! Get our your check-book.
  18. White987S
    Check the spark plug wires.

    wizard263789, do you have any engine or exhaust modifications? What type (octane) of fuel are you running? Manual or tip tranny?
  20. White987S
    This may be true, but everything is negotiable.
  21. White987S
    Unlock the car with the key, and then start the engine with the key within 15 seconds.
  22. White987S
    I recommend changing the oil & filter between 7,500-10,000 miles or at least once per year. Mobil 1 0W40

    osiris2600, nice looking car. Great color. I am looking for a 1996 or 1997 Turbo in that color (Arena Red). If the engine swap was done properly on that car, it could be a good thing. Check it out in person. Don't forget, you are not just buying the car, but also the seller.
  24. White987S
    The car has an engine swap. Porsche did not use the 3.3 untill the 1978 MY. Pretty straigh forward to me.

    The first Porsche Turbo was introduced as a 1975 model at the Paris Auto Show. In the USA this was know as a Turbo Carrera. These were built untill 1977 and had a 3.0-liter engine rated at 245 HP. The non US model had 15 extra HP, mainly due to a thermal reactor exhaust and air injection pump. The next generation of the the Turbo was in 1978 with 300 HP, in Europe. This had a 3.3-liter engine and added an intercooler. US versions were rated at 265 HP. This Turbo had 4 piston brake calipers and cross drilled rotors. The best way to distinguish a second gen car is by the larger grill area on the whale tail. This was for more air into the intercooler. The 1979 and 1980 models were the last of the Turbos brought to the US through regular Porsche dealerships. During the years 1980-1985 Porsche continued to develope the 930 for other markets. This time period reflected a gray market in the US and were individually federalized. In 1986 the car was officially reintroduced in the US market. The 1986 US model had 282 HP with a new exhaust, catalytic converters, and oxygen-sensor fuel control. There were no Turbos for the 1990 MY. In 1991 Porsche introduced the turbocharged Carrera 2. In 1994 the Turbo became a 3.6 with 365 HP. The 1996 Turbo began the 993 series. -October 2007 Excellence (page 126)
