Haunted alarm system?

2002 986

I should probably clarify that I'm the second owner - although the car was originally bought from the same dealer (Walters in Riverside, CA)

Sport Touring exhaust

Just got the Boxster S back from having a bit of service done (right rear wheel bearing needed replacement). I'd asked them to also look for a rattle that we could hear on take off - more from the...

Ok, managed to get a look at the tires - Yokohama 265/35ZR18 AVS Sports are what's on there now. Starting to show the wear bars too - so I won't feel like i'm getting rid of "new" tires.

"Cupping" is almost a perfect experssion for what Milady seems to be hearing. I'll have a rebalance done ASAP

Out of curiosity, what tires did you put on the rear? BiDirectional sounds...

I'll check and see what tires are on the car now - don't have it with me today - and we'll see if they qualify as "performance". Car will never see the track - more of a touring sports car for us, so...

I hear noises (and it's not just in my head!)

My girlfriend was telling me the other day that she thought the right rear tire was low - she keeps hearing a "whup whup" noise from the right rear (2002 S)

I drive the car - hear nothing. Then...

May be unique to the '02 - but my '02 S chirps on "arm" every time, assuming I press the button twice quickly.

FasTrac Transponders

For those of you who live in the Orange County/Riverside area (SoCal), where do you put your FasTrac transponder?

I'm not willing to put it on the windshield or dash - and the antenna array...

Have to side with Lux on this - our '02 S was originally bought as a "weekend toy" (for the weekends we're not out rockcrawling in the Jeep). Milady has an X5, I "normally" drive a 96 Bronco - which...

Pretty much A. Commute from Corona to LAX daily. Occassionally take the Bronco, rarely take the Jeep. Often swap cars with milady - which means I'm "stuck" with her BMW X5 :)

Howdy - and a question

Just picked up a (new to us) 2002 Boxster S (triple black, usual bells and whistles). Other than needing wiper blades (Porsche or ?) - perfect car for us.
