I'm in Valpo, over in NW Indiana. Drove mine to the office today. I've actually had mine out few times over the winter. If it's nice, no salt on the road and decent temps, I'll get mine out.

Mine did the same thing last year and it was the microswitch. Schoir hit it on the head. Pretty easy to fix. Just follow his instructions and you'll have it.

Schoir, nice write up.

If you drill straight back, you'll drill through the back of the muffler and you don't want to do that. Drill to side like Crios instructed. I have a 98 Boxster with a single non-removable tip and...

I really don't get the "chick" reference either. You should see how bad they bash the Boxster over at the Pelican Parts Forum. It seems their attitude is if you don't own a 911, you don't own a...

It appears to be for the Becker 220......does anyone make an IPOD connector for the CR 210? The rear of the 210 is the same as the 220 but every cable I look at says it doesn't work on the 210..
