Hi,
Just bought this baby for the summer with 78,000miles.

the paint was so nasty and I tought I will have to paint the car. BUT after 5 hours of work and 2 layers of polish and 2 layers of wax the paint looks like new

Have some issues to fix:
1. There is a noise from the rear right when passing on bumps. any ideas?

2. When moving from 2 to 3 gear i feal a little bang (tiptronic), could it be the engine mount?

3. I see an oil leak. I need to clean the engine to see where it comes from. any known places for boxsters?

4. speakers - it seems that one of the owners before did a stupid job and chancheled the front speakers. put only tweeters. now I need to set a new 4" speakers but don't have the old speakers to use them as a base. any idea how to do it? or I must buy used speakers from ebay?

5. Hard start - When I'm starting the car COLD it start after 3 second starter spinning. not fast but ok. when the car is HOT (and sitting above 5-10 minutes) it starts after some starter spinning and on the second try with a little press on the gas pedal.
What can it be?
