Today I replaced my CDR 220 (intermittent radio function, becoming less intermittent and more constant) with a new Pioneer stereo, and fixed my sticky-feeling throttle pedal.
The radio replacement was surprisingly easy, and the new Pioneer unit sounds so much better than the old Becker. A decent eBay Becker would have been around $300, but I'd be getting another 15 year-old stereo that is pretty obsolete. The new Pioneer was less than $100 from Crutchfield with radio removal tools and wiring adaptors, so it was an easy decision to make.
The throttle had a very high "stiction" feeling to it, so I removed and disassembled the pedal assembly and cleaned and lubed everything. It feels like a normal throttle now! That is something that has always bothered me about my Boxster ever since I got it, so it's a great feeling to take care of that issue.
Bit-by-bit, I'm getting my $4500 986 into shape! :dance:
