Center Radiator

Hey Bill,
You know where can I find a DIY on placing a center radiator on the 2.5L? It looks fairly easy and I'd like to try it too. Also, where did you get your GT bumper cover? Thanks,...

Not the fans

Pretty sure it's not the fans because I can hear the fans kick in when I turn on the AC. I can hear them in additon to the whine. They aren't nearly as loud and sound smooth.

Uh-OH it's not the fans!!

Actually, when I replaced the left front radiator I went ahead and cleaned the right radiator really well so they should be good to go.

Noisy Fans

I drove around most of the day today with the top down because it's nice and sunny and 77 degrees. When I would come to a stop or slow down to crawl speed I could hear a high pitched whining sound,...

Yup

That's right. However, my 97 has had 15w-50 (the oil that came in it) in it since it was built and it hasn't had a problem yet.

15w-50

I use 15w-50. It comes in the large jugs for cheap. My mechanic (Been working on and racing Porsches since 1970) uses it and says that's what originally came in the Boxster.

Whatever

Dude,
Go buy your oil at Walmart. You can get the 5 quart jugs for like $23.00 each. Then order your OEM filter and crush ring from Suset Imports for $12.04 and .22 respectively. It'll end...

Me too

I'm looking for the same stuff. Either clear turn signal halogens or litronics. If anybody has information on where I could find some I'd really appreciate it.
