Langka & DR Colorchip

Langka works well (especially well on non-metallic paint.) Read the instructions carefully and try to keep the blob (chip or scratch overfill) to a minimum. When removing the blob take it slow --...

A few thoughts

hc,

1. The 2000 Boxster is way overpriced. If it is dealer certified and perfect Edmunds prices it at about 16K with some costly options. Note ensure the 15K service is done before you buy it. ...

TRY EDMUNDS and KBB

Most dealers and private buyers of a Porsche will probably get info from there as well. I would also check cars.com and autotrader for prices in your area.
Best,

E46 M3 v Boxster S

1. If you are talking the M3 cab, the back seats are small and not too useful. Plus when the Top is down the trunk is pretty small.

2. M3 great highway/touring car. In the city, gas mileage...

Under the hinge

Below the hinge to the gas flap on the hinge support bracket there should be a hole or black plastic push pin. The lanyard attaches to that spot with a plastic push pin. The lanyard allows you to...

Obtw

He should probably call PCNA (the 800 service number) and see if the CPO was registered. I think the checklist also ensures most dealers do that right as well.

Cpo Checklist

The Porsche CPO checklist is pretty comprehensive (but not the best in the business). A copy of the completed checklist should be provided to the buyer at the time of sale. It checks for all...

I hate front plates but ...

I put them on my cars.

All of the above is true. However, if you get stopped for something else the Police Officer may hold the lack of a plate against you. The "cheapest" ticket is the fix it...

Willwood rack

Consider the willwood rack it is very stable, no straps required and not terribly noticable. I looked at both systems prices are similar. Willwood is (IMHO) a sturdier design. If you have ??? drop...

A few thoughts?

You have 18" sport classic I wheels with 15mm spacers all around and the standard sport suspension (i.e. not the ROW) --- is that correct?

If so:

1. How good are your spacers? I have seen a...

Kumho Exsta ASX are Good tires for the $$$$ but

They are not great (or even good) "winter tires." Better than summer tires, but not much. I have had two sets on different vehicles including a current set of 17s on a Boxster. Decent tread wear,...

Minilites/Panasports

That style of wheel was popular for racing back in the 60's and 70's. They were stronger than stock/steel wheels and usually lighter. Originals were magnesium. They also came with a splined hub to...

Had this problem myself two ways to fix.

1. Buy some epoxy or JB weld and repair/build up the hole. Allow it to dry then file it close to the old shape. Redrill the hole and reassemble.
2. Move the hole further in on the hinge area. As...

Try Ebay

1. Ebay frequently has lots of 2, 3, 4, or 5 filters for 5 to 10 bucks a piece. Most include the o-ring and drain plug seal. You may have to wait till you find the right price (don't forget...

Buying A Boxster To Drag Race

makes no sense to me there are better, faster, cheaper cars for that ... if 0-60 is your bag. Beating a 68 Mustang (even the big block Cobra's were not that quick) and a Fiero can be accomplished...
