If you couldn't guess by now, LED replacements do NOT work in 986 tail lights. Another thing to add is that not only do the optics not match, but the bulbs are further angled in the housing. So,...

Yes, it slowly dribbles out. I don't know if this is the fastest way to change the brake fluid if that's what you're after. If you don't want the fluid to dribble out, you will need to cap the line...

Those are pretty amazing times. What's your weather like? That's almost stock 986S times.

If you send me a link/pic, I can tell you if they are the same crests that I have. Mine fell off (common problem), and I think I still have 1 (maybe 2) crests in the garage from my original set. (I...

Thanks, insite!

I looked up the rears, and the base is 292mm vs. 299mm with the S. So, there is some small difference. I was thinking it was more like 20mm like the front. My bad.

There...

Actually, the more one increases the traction of the front ..., that is true as you note later. Also, these cars have a relatively low CG, so the weight transfer is not as much as on other cars.

For the original poster, I would not do the fronts without the rears as you will be increasing the already heavy front brake bias and decrease your braking capability although you would be increasing...

Do you have any part numbers or links? I've searched all things Brembo that I could find and could not find these "special" rotors. I assume the rear rotors are 24mm wide. Thanks!

My guess is no. I don't think the 2001 DME will even run the '03 engines which have a revised VarioCam.

Please do post pics. I'm actually thinking of a green tint. Not because I like green but because the tint I'm interested in only comes in green. It's a 70%. I think factory glass is somewhere...

I don't know where those oil numbers come from, but that's about what an oil change costs around me. Doing it yourself is: figure 9 to 10 quarts of synthetic at $5 a quart plus $25 for oil...

If you think it somehow looks beautiful, then do whatever floats your boat. If you are doing it to somehow imply that it is Gemballa-tuned and impress others, then I wouldn't do it. Since you asked...

Jim'99, if you're happy with your brakes, then I'm happy for you. But, I think that if you posted over on the TT or GT2/GT3 forums that they should "upgrade" to base Boxster brakes to...

They are NOT the same.

Boy, this thread sure degenerated pretty quickly. The need for bigger/larger brakes depends on the usage. A 3.4L has 50% more power than a 2.5L and will generate speed a...

Nope. Octane booster is generally worthless as far as boosting octane, and this happens inside the combustion chamber. The ticking is likely outside the combustion chamber in the valve train. Any...

8.5" front and rear? I wouldn't do it. Front tires are going to be all stretched out while rears will be all compressed on the wheel. 8.5" is not an approved width for a lot of 265s. For AX, some...

My 1 cent's:

* I agree that 4-5-6 are too closely spaced. I often skip 5th.

* I think 1-2 are too far apart, especially in stop-and-go traffic.

* I use 6th a LOT. If I had a 7th taller...

Just another fat guy's opinion here... ;)

I would say that a 32" waist is fine. 34" is touching. 36" is getting pretty snug. I think 39 to 40" isn't going to fit. If you can get down to 36",...

The 2004 Anniversary Edition came with silver calipers, but that car is not an anniversary edition. Does look like an S, though.

I don't think my car needs to be lowered. I like my suspension travel and not scraping. Mine is also a 986. 987s have much larger wheel wells to support the larger, more trendy wheels that...

Not true. PSM adds yaw control. TC with ABD is option P37 or M222/224. All Boxsters have ABS.

krn986, most likely if you don't have a TC button, you don't have traction control. TC was an option anyway. You could check the hood option codes, but if you don't have the button, then I doubt...

2.7L or 3.2L makes no difference in sound IMHO. The 987 and Cayman, however, sound a lot different. Don't buy the car for sound. You can easily de-snork, Evo intake, or change the muffler if sound...
