Plastic window replacement

Does anyone know if there's a reputable plastic replacement window for the top? Mine finally tore today, altho it did so at the corner, which is kinda odd. I know there are tops like GAHH that are...

I've had a similar squeak behind me on the left, mainly when the window is down. If I close the door on a cloth placed near the top (i.e. in between door and car) it disappears.

I'm guessing it's...

Nah DJ, I'm in Socal, but it sounds really cool. Is it really thousands of bikes out at one event?

Hey Nick, nice choice. I have the same style GSXR but a 2002 GSXR 750. No glamour shots, but one track shot of it mint before it took a spill:

It's not just engine power which distinguishes an S from a regular boxster, there's also better brakes, one more gear, slightly more torque (which you DO feel), larger wheels stock, and a stiffer...

I pulled off the airbag last night, the wires looked quite intact and fine, I don't think they are the problem. The sound seems like it might actually be coming from deeper behind the airbag,...

Yeah, I tried setting the horn off by locking the car with a door open, the horn works fine. So it's probably more likely the wire just popped off or something and is now free inside the steering...

Clicking in Steering Wheel

Hey all, something very odd. I recently used the horn for the first time in months and months, and it didn't work. I still have an airbag light on from when the seatbelts went out (I did the fix...

Pretty sure BruceLee wasn't kidding. Although keeping the throttle pinned at all times might certainly be overdoing it, the engine does need to be revved up and down, at least above 4. It clears...

Darn garden hose hit the bumper as I was washing the car today and left a nice little series of scratches. The car has a nice level of fairly new wax on it, it's hard to tell how deep the scratches...

Strange fender shape, damage?
