I agree with some of your statement

that the guy may be going about this the wrong way to some extent but I think your quote of is only half true as Jake keeps so much of this stuff going himself and to some extents attacks or...

Love it...curious how much if any weight is lost over the

other "lesser" models as this spyder does not seem to be as minimalistic as the previous generation (full door panels/handles/folding top/etc). I think these cars look really good in white too, I...

Also interested in the clear turn signals...

I am not too far (relatively speaking) from you to make a road trip of it.

So basically it is a mod that makes your headlights

useless is what I gather. Please don't compare the 944 to a camaro either...944 owners usually do not have chains or mullets.

I knew it was only a matter of time before we started seeing posts

like these. It's a shame that cars like this immediately get purchased by speculators and people trying to earn a quick buck.

Replacement of the top yourself is a possibility

if you have some basic tools (torx bits for one) and ideally a helping hand. There are various places on the internet where the install process is documented. It took me the better part of a full...

If they are the sport seats (with the funky bolsters) then

the backing is more than likely plastic. The standard seats were the ones available with a vinyl/leather backing and not the plastic shell of the sport seats.

Could be low on blinker fluid....

I think the reservoir is next to the power steering reservoir on top of the engine:D.

My car has those painted sport seats...

they have rub marks on the back I assume from the firewall carpet as well as some near the top near the roll bars that are a bit perplexing. I was going to try and repaint them and the similar areas...

Had the same codes a few years ago...car ran rough when first started

and engine was cold (overnight). I eventually took it to a indie euro mechanic that deduced that it could be the AOS (had recently been replaced), Air leak, MAF, or that the engine was defective. The...

I would at least verify the leaf/tension springs are correctly oriented

before I spent a lot of cash having the top troubleshooted and/or repaired. Mine did the same thing when I had the parts on backwards...it's common issue if the top has been replaced or worked on at...

If the top has the cable's falling outside of the trim piece

like in the photo posted, there is a chance that the tension springs at the base of the top above the door are flipped especially if the top has been replaced and someone put them on backwards. I put...

I would go with the 1080 over the dinoc as it stretches easier as it is not quite as thick. Either of them are durable as long as you do not scratch them with something sharp and they look the same....

The bumpers are stock to the 2003 & 2004 models. There is

an aftermarket piece that replicates the "spats" to some extent for the 97-02 models.

Nice idea but...

What would they do with the navigation system, 12 way power and heated seats, 20"+ wheels, etc. Very few buyers would pay the current asking prices for a boxster if it did not include these amenities...

I can't say that I agree as I would gladly take a 997 or 987

over a 986 or 996. The earlier cars have a very tame looking front end and the panel gaps make them look very dated when you compare them to the later 987/997 cars that just look higher quality and...

I was refering mainly to blame of the accident...

lone truck driver versus pack of sports cars (as incriminating as that may sound). Hopefully those involved and that witnessed the accident will be nothing but honest in their statements of the...

Some of the thread participants

kind of suggested not talking about the incident to avoid anything incriminating being used one way or the other in the settlement and blame game...without knowing any more about the accident, for...

18's or 19's should not be a problem on the car

as they were a factory option. Tire brands/models is a matter of opinion to some extent. I never put top tier priced/performance tires on my car (michelin, BF goodrich, etc.) and instead put...

I get the same feeling too.

With as many people that likely had camera's in their cars, I would think at least part of the incident or the type of driving that lead up to it is probably recorded somewhere...whether that would...

So strange...I was browsing that site just a week ago and

remember reading about the car and I think he mentioned having his insurance adjusted to cover the car more just before going on this "rendevous" with other 911 owners. Call it hindsight or deja-vu,...

I used the G2 epoxy based caliper paint kit about 8 years ago to

paint my calipers. It has stood the test of time and still looks great. Added the vinyl porsche decals over it afterwards too. It does take some time to get the calipers really clean and a few coats...

The checkerd vinyl interior with the granite/grey finish

trim pieces is the "sport design interior". I have that interior in my car and like the one you posted the console could use "refreshing. I plan on repainting the console and other interior pieces...
