If you go down 30mm compared to standard suspension you will loose comfort. The springs need to be stiffer to prevent bottoming out. Less travel for similar force simply means they'll be stiffer....

It would be good to know which shafts he would want to fit. I am not aware of any shafts available from reputable brands. But if not from a reputable brand, why on earth would they be that expensive?...

When driving, can you get it out of gear into neutral?
If you keep the clutch engaged and lift the throttle, can you put it in neutral?

Hopefully that will give an indication whether it is...

Thanks for the info :D

I'll need to address the shift cable issue first. I did a bit of a search and concluded the following;

Yes, they are most downward indeed. But the main issue seems the rising of the seats when sliding forward, which I need to operate the pedals :)

I would replace the bearings as well while you have it all apart.

Other things to consider:
- The sway bar end link might not come out in a good shape. Either have new ones before you start or...

Still not sure about that one, but it does seem like a 982 muffler (GT4 for example) might fit.

Any input on compatibility of mufflers between the different models Boxster / Cayman (986 up to...

The seating:

So my issue is that my head is far too high in the car. Not really surprising, but something to fix.

I am not that tall at all, about 6' to 6'1. But I have an odd aspect ratio...

Well, I think the Audi V10 would fit as it is a compact engine. Probably similar in length as an LS. I don't know any V12 that would fit without a good stretch ;-)

Anyway, back to business....

Great step today for getting the car back on the road (with flat six still). The right catalytic converter showed up yesterday. Today I was able to transfer the o2 sensor, some plug bolt and block...

Not familiar with these later model boxsters, but BMWs way before that time flash the fog light in case the turn signal light is malfunctioning. For these it is a 'back-up' indicator.

Big step forward today for getting the car back on the road. One of the things to resolve was getting the speedometer to work. The reason it didn't work is that the driveshafts are not compatible...

Can't comment on the clutch return spring, but otherwise it does sound to me like a worn clutch. Any idea when it was done? For normal driving they should last a long time. I took it of my car at...

HVAC control unit up top

I removed the PCM from my car and went for single DIN radio. The idea is to go for center console delete, although this is now hard to find / expensive.

Anyway, part of the job is to relocate the...

I tend to disagree. It is likely to have some play without the driveshaft or stub axle tightened. These are the parts that pull the inner races tightly together. The hub won't do it.

As reference...

Thanks all. I have ordered a new cat for the 2.5 specifically. Didn't really want that, but my sources couldn't provide and Ebay is too expensive (about same price as new aftermarket).

Interesting sound. Older BMWs (mainly E36) used to make such sound when the bushing in the steering column got worn out. Doesn't sound like power steering issue.

Catalytic converter compatibility

One of the final hurdles to get my car back on the road is the exhaust. For reference, I have build a G87.21 into the back of my 986 so the stock muffler doesn't fit. I got one of the 'sausage' shape...
