Are you sure about that? I'm sitting here pretty confident my 02 base has the secondary 02....maybe I'm remembering wrong....

Edit - sorry, quoting the wrong response....

I am intrigued about this.

Was actually last Sunday
 

But I changed spark plugs, spark plug tubes and oil. Will flush coolant and replace thermostat with the low temp one in the next 2 weeks.

I have an 01S
 

And I can tell you that there are no Oxygen sensors on the secondary cats...in fact the secondary cats are sitting in my basement.....TG we have no emissions here in AL

I'm pretty sure it's year dependent whether or not your secondary cats have O2 Sensors.

What get's me is the 2003 Base doesn't have them according to EJ-Fresno and my 2003 S does have them.

The Porsche PET doesn't show them as S model specific. If they were they would put M008 in the Model column. M008 stands for 986 S 3.2 Litres Displacement.

According to the Bentley, all 2000 and up have the precatalytic converters with pre and post O2 sensors.

I'm not up to speed on emissions, but I believe the sensors are required on 1 cat on each side. I don't see any on the rear cats, so maybe if you have them on the rear cats, they won't be on the precats?
This is definitely strange...

My Boxster has 8 O2 Sensors, 4 per side. 1 before and after the manifold cat and 1 before and after the secondary cats.

I've read that people will put secondary cat delete pipes on the cars that don't have the O2 bung holes and they just tie the secondary O2 Sensors up out of the way and no CEL light from doing that. Not even sure what their function really is if you can tie them up and not throw a CEL.

6 Speed Trans Oil Change
 

I changed the MT fluid in my '03 S (74k km). A relatively simple job made difficult due to the triangular brace/skid plate below the transmission.The fill plug is easy access but a little awkward to fill from the fluid bottle. After impersonating a contortionist all is good. Luckily I'll likely never have to do it again

Shifting feels real smooth.

Went to lunch with the Wiff. Was spotted by some friends who are quick with the iCamera:

Bought one of these today!

Porsche 996 986 T96 Sport Leather Steering Wheel Carrera C4S Turbo Yellow | eBay

I'm lucky enough to live about 15 min from the show room in Santa Clara, so was able negotiate a nice cash deal. Will be installing this weekend and will post Picts!

Flip Flop
 

Traded in my 02 high KM Boxster for a low KM 2011 987.2 Taking her out for a good long run tomorrow. Here's a shot of her at the dealers...

That's a sweet steering wheel. One day I will get one of these.

Right now I'm on a performance upgrade mode.

I do have plans for the interior, but it's last on my list right now.

Nice! How does it feel compared to the 986?

I'll check again but i am pretty sure I didn't see any O2 sensors on the cat pipes...

Nice looking ride

Cleaned out its home today. Need to get some posters.

Installed new hood shocks(struts). 20 minutes tops

Installed a Wind Stop Clip on the passenger side roll bar.

BFeller...you can do that? I have one that rattles a bit because it is not a very tight fit.

After a new air oil separator went in earlier this week I drove it almost 800km today, top down all day. Totally forgot about sunscreen and now I have a burnt nose, but totally worth it!
