Replaced them when I bought the car in 2007 (and on all my other cars, too). I was always worried about losing the 'key.' Now I don't worry anymore. Most useless things, ever. Why would someone...

I think you have already convinced yourself to buy the RX-7. Are you planning on keeping your Boxster, also? Are you sure that your finances can handle two exotic, but old cars?

I am of the opinion of "if it isn't broke, don't fix it." You may have an IMS that lasts100K miles, or you may have an new IMS that will break 1 week after you installed it. Who knows. There are...

Are rear brake pad dampers required?

Good point. The new bolts I ordered from SunCoast are torx. I need to check the brake caliper on the car (2007 Boxster S) to see if they are torx or hex.

What size Torx bit

for the brake caliper bolts?

I am getting ready to do a brake job and found that my torx bits only go up to size T50 - too small. Will probably need T55, T60, or T70. I am guessing T60. Does...

Trade it in. The small difference you'll get for selling it yourself ($12K - maybe) or trade in ($10K) is probably not worth your effort. A Porsche is a specialty car and finding that 1 person in...

That is why I use clear fishing line to tie them to the rollbar. I just hope I never lose the centerpiece, since it is only held on by two clips. I hear the windscreen setup is quite expensive.

Makes sense replacing the clamp type with the screw type clamp after you get the clamp off. But isn't the reason to get this tool because taking off the clamp type is one of the hardest things to do?
