The reason to go with a K&N filter isn't the magical mystery "more horsepower." It's that you can go with just one lifetime filter that you can just clean, instead of disposable filters.

I just had this problem pop up with my brand new replacement top. The cable on the driver's side closes outside of the frame. Can you provide any more details on what to look for to correct?

Porsche never got the cup holders right on the 986.

I assume the IMS bearing and the cup holders shared the same crack engineering team. :barf:

I hate this IMS failure issue. It bugs me that Porsche doesn't do anything about it, and it's like a time bomb sitting in the engine. I just dropped $15K on an 03 986 and I would probably not have...

When I drive for 5 hours through the desert to get to Flight 34 in Phoenix, you can bet I am using BOTH of my crappy Boxster cup holders. :)

Fellow 986'ers,

I'm looking to install a new 2-DIN nav/radio/etc in my '03 986 which currently "features" the lame CDR-23.

No problems at all. Love 'em. Best $120 I could have spent on the car.

My next best investment was the Durametric cable/software, but that was $300.

2003S is right.

Toss the CD caddy.

Move climate control down there.

Radio gets replaced with your new nav/radio system.
