Re-installing clutch slave cyl

Hi folks,

Making headway today. Got the transmission re-installed all by my lonesome, on my back, with a jack. Once it was lined up, she slipped right in. Same way it came out.

Once that was done it was time for...

Throttle body connectors

Hi folks,

I'm at the strangest impasse. I'm putting together my '99 Boxster's plenum. I had removed it to put a new oil fill tube in, among other things. I remember taking off the plenum and it...

Hi folks,

You know that little drip rail, with two clips, that you have to detach at the rear when putting the top into service mode? It's the first thing you have to detach. My rail ends are a...

That's a great idea, thank you! I got it back on, it was just a matter of getting more leverage. Sometimes it's a good idea to just step away for a while.

Hi folks,

Rear main seal depth

Hi folks,

I just removed and replaced the IMS bearing. So far so good. I put the new RMS on, and tapped it in a little too deep. Spec says 4mm, I've got between 6 and 7mm depth. I didn't use...

Bilstein shocks wanted

Hi folks,

Anyone got any rebuildable Bilsteins for my '99 Boxster? I'm going to get them revalved, so their condition isn't critical. Any leads appreciated. Thank you.

I got it smogged and licensed in California. Got'er done at AAA, but they had a very limited and odd selection of license plates. I guess I own a junk 959 now!
