Adjustable rear struts for 986 while on the car (not coilovers)....

I've currently got a set of Koni yellows on my 986. The fronts have a way to adjust the struts while on the vehicle. The rears are adjustable, but they have to be removed to make that adjustment. ...

I find removing the sensor to be a pain in the rump. I'm guessing all the brake dust tends to seize mine in place. Maybe there is a better removal technique than to get gorilla on them (which...

WTB: 996 GT3 seats

I'm looking for a set of GT3 seats. I'd like both but at I'd take just the driver's at a minimum. It'd at least let me put in some harnesses for me. I'm tired of sliding around around.

It's odd that there really hasn't been any threads about a bad ABS causing this issue. I did a ton of searching and only found an offhand comment in a 987 thread. So, I figured it was quite rare. ...

Fixed!

Well, I replaced the ABS with a used one from a wrecked 2001 base. It had the same part number as mine (it's a 2001 S), so I figured it'd work. Installed it this morning, bled the brakes (and bled...

Car has 80K on it. I think the pump is original. So...in the grand scheme of car mileage, that's not a ton on the pump. That said, it is almost 20 years old now. I was doing some reading on a 987...

I agree on the air assessment. I don't think it's that. But after trying just about everything I can think of, I'm grasping at straws. I've even started to wonder if there aren't things like...

1) No...drift seems to independent of pressure. Light touch or firm touch. Similar fade speed.

2) I thought I might have gotten a bad one (it was an ATE). I ordered another one (Meyerle) and...

As I've thought about this more, I noticed a curious thing about the bleeding tonight. I got almost no air out of the system. I saw one or two tiny bubbles but nothing larger than a sand grain...

In my ongoing saga of the brake, a new proportional valve did not fix the problem. Err, actually it was a used valve. There weren't any in the US and I didn't want to wait for the part to come from...

I don't have PSS or TC. Just the ABS. In the ABS, there are 3 parts I'm considering. (1) There's the proportioning valve on the side of the ABS, (2) there's the main ABS itself (with the ~5 brake...

Oops. Missed that one. I does not seem noticeable different if I pump the brakes after it bottoms out. Pretty much the same slow bottoming out no matter what I do.

I've thought about a vacuum leak, but don't think that's it. When I replaced the booster, I played around with the vacuum quite a bit thinking maybe I did have a leak. To simulate a huge vacuum...

Hmm, I would think that a brake fluid leak would allow some air to get in the line. If air was in the line, the brakes would feel squishy. I guess you had a leak where fluid would leak out but air...

Brake pedal stops normally then slowly fades to floor. Master cylinder? Booster?

I took my '01 S to an autocross this weekend. It was close to 100, so hot, but not outrageously so. When leaving the autocross, I stopped at a red light. I noted the braking power was pretty...

The boxsters are the most fun to drive. The 8 cylinders are far easier...

A couple of thoughts:

1) If it's a manual, is it possible the clutch switch is going out. There's a switch that senses when the clutch is pressed in. If it goes bad, it won't turn over.

2) ...
