I want to put CV joints on them and use them on my 01 S. The par ts car is a 98. Are they the same?
To find parts compatibility/part numbers perform the following tasks online:
1) Go to an online PORSCHE parts dealer/retailer like Circle Porsche Parts , Sunset, or Pelican and enter car year/make/model information (e.g. 1998 PORSCHE Boxster)
2) Type "rear axle" in Search box
and click enter/go.
3) Locate and write down the OEM Porsche part number for the complete axle assembly.
4) Repeat steps with different year/model.
5) Compare the OEM part numbers to determine if they use the same part.
6) You can also email or call any of the retailers above. I've contacted all three and they've proven helpful.
Note different axles for auto and manual transmission and perhaps for 5 and 6 speed manual transmission.
I like the diagram links Circle Porsche Parts provides with most items so you can view and verify the part(s) you plan to purchase and also see the associated parts...CPP also has very competitive prices on genuine Porsche parts and ships USPS to my military address overseas whereas Sunset does not.
Hope this helps...
Here's a link to my 2000 S 6 speed Manual Axle Assembly
Well, it was on Saturday, but I removed the CDR 220 from my '00 S, and installed an Alpine CDE-149BT. Can play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth, make and receive calls hands free, use my phone to navigate, and more.
How does it look can you post some pics? Also do you have an amp and / or door subs?

Today I took it to the shop that will replace the top, since the rear window broke a couple of weeks ago. I will have it replaced with a glass window top, but they wanted to take a look at it before ordering the replacement.
I had the original rotors and pads replaced and my brake fluid flushed on my 2001 Boxster S (58,000 miles) - went with EBC Redstuff and Centric Premium crossed drilled rotors.
Just replaced the front and rear sway bar bushings. They were on sale at the dealership. That's right, the dealership had a sale on bushings, go figure. Anyway, I followed Neil_b's great how-to and did the complete job in about 2 hours.
Toughest part was getting the old front bushings off. Putting on new ones was actually easier.
Also, I didn't find it necessary to completely remove the plastic skid panel. Removing the front 2-10mm nuts and the 2 front clips was enough to bend the panel down and access the bolts.
The car feels brand new handling wise and the annoying 'clunk' that was occurring at slow speeds over pavement breaks is gone.
Had a bad cat so I decided to install Fabspeed sport headers/cats, adds a nice mellow tone and seems to have some extra giddyup
next up will be the Maxflo exhaust
Gave the Boxster a hot trip the last couple days. Drove up to Litchfield Park area west of Phoenix and back. Top down most of the trip except for last 20 miles where I ran into some rain on the way back to Green Valley. Outside temps over 102. Temp gauge never got over what I figured is about 190 deg. Be taking a trip up to Prescott in about a week. Absolutely a fun driving trip. However I did notice my spoiler did not retract when I parked at home. Had to put it down manually.

i've replaced the micro switches in my key fob, because the open / close button didn't work without pressing so heavy that i damaged the rubber key cover.
I used this video tutorial on Youtube to learn how to:
Got the micro switches on eBay. 3 were about 12 Euros.
Problem was that when i desoldered the mircroswitch for the open/close function, one conductor track came off with the switch. Don't know if that was caused by the heavy pressing before or by the desoldeding. Could fix that with a little piece of copper wire. So take care when soldering and desoldering.
The buttons now work with very little pressure. What a really big difference.
Regards, Markus

Understated and very nice. I wish that is all they had done with the new 718's.
Agreed. Understated is classic. The 718 could be the most over-badged vehicle out there today. The name on a car shouldn't be so in your face. Subtle trumps brash all day long in my opinion.

I have left enough room for a smaller 'boxster' logo or '986' - but I may just leave its as is.
