New Members and Owners: 101 Projects for your Porsche Boxster -- The Boxster Bible

please let's make this a sticky.

For all new Boxster owners I would highly encourage you to download (Google Books) or snail mail a copy of Wayne Dempsey's "101 Projects for your Porsche Boxster".
This book covers 99.99% of the all the questions that most new owners have about maintaining and repairing their Boxster. The pictures are excellent and the book provides estimates in price and time for virtually every single item your Boxster will need to run well. The cost is a pittance given the importance of the information contained in it. So before you start a thread, A) consider doing a search and B) consider buying this excellent book.

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=101%20projects%20for%20your%20porsche%20b oxster&hl=en

Amazon:
101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster (Motorbooks Workshop): Wayne R. Dempsey: 9780760335543: Amazon.com: Books

A sticky would be nice. I personally own a copy, but would buy another if it were an ePub or PDF as I use an iPhone & iPad.

I'd also like to point out The Pelican Part 101 Projects web site at:

Porsche Boxster 986 (1997-2004) / 987 (2005-2008) Technical Articles | Pelican Parts

This is particularly useful for someone that is considering, but hasn't purchased, a Boxster yet as it provides a lot of useful information in regard to the basic maintenance of the vehicle and is accessible without a purchase.

For mobile, I use Android (HATE itunes), but even you use Iphone/Ipad I'm 99% sure you can get a digital copy on your PC or Apple laptop and desktop if you purchase the book via Google Books online. Then just use your laptop in the garage.
