I own a 2004, replacing the year 2000 that I retired with 237,000 miles on the odometer. I did think at first that these cars were difficult to work on, but over time I became accustomed to working...

Top down, something is missing

I had the top down yesterday and see something is missing on the left side, where the door and the body come together.. The photo shows a hole lined with brass or bronze. Looks like plug of some sort...

Bringing this up again. The tamper-proof screws holding my MAF sensor in place have a five-lobe head with a substantial peg in the middle. They are not tamper-proof T20 screws. I'm not seeing this...

To resurrect this thread ... Is it a good general rule that if you are getting the "Woo Woo" sound from the gas filler vent it means your charcoal canister is plugged in whole or in part? I have that...

My steering wheel adjustment has never worked on my 2005 SE, but I was inspired by this thread to give it another shot. Yesterday I lowered the adjustment lever and then shook the steering wheel...

My two cents worth is that JFP is always on the level and gives good advice. Sometimes "get the correct part for the car" sums up everything - terse as it may seem. I am watching the snow beginning...

No, I'm the OP and don't have the bit identified yet. I suppose the Harbor Freight set isn't all the expensive, so I'll probably buy the 100-bit set and see which one, if any, works. The car is 21...

Tamper-proof bit to remove the MAF sensor

I have a 2004 Special Edition and want to check/clean the MAF sensor. On my old year 2000 Boxster I needed a T20 tamper proof Torx bit. On the 2004 SE, it appears that I need some sort of pentalob...

What can go in the cupholder space?

I have pop out cupholders that - if they worked at all - would swing out above the radio in my 2004 Boxster SE. I know that I should keep a future concours at Pebble Beach in mind, but I wonder if...

It looks like there is a choice of 65 or 76 mm on these caps. Which size did you choose? (My car is in storage right now - I can't measure it.)

Remove the CD holder and replace with a cubby?

I have a CD holder in the front console of my 2004 Boxster. It holds four CDs, each in their own little shelf that slides in and out. I don't play CDs so would like to pull that little storage item...

My thinking is that there are lots around, so the Boxster will not have the benefit of scarcity (relatively speaking) of the 914. Also, for some reason potential owners opt for other cars with a...

Windstop latches right and left - installed today

I installed new wind stop latches, right and left, on my clear windstop today. One latch was broken, the other 20 years old, so I decided to go with a new one. The new ones are an improved design. To...

This 3-D printing solution is perfect. I also didn't find the headlight washers to be very useful. In fact I tried them only twice to see if they worked. I lost the nozzle on the second squirt. I'm...

One of my headlight washer nozzles has flown the coop, literally. It must have popped out. I don't want to replace the entire washer unit, just the little nozzle. I read on the internet that a much...

Good question. My 2000 Boxster seat could move back a bit more than the seat on my current 2004 Boxster S. I think the seat hardware might be all the same, but the seat back may be thicker on the...
