Is anybody else's spec air mass and spec air adaption off? I'm wondering if it's just one of those things that's never to that baseline and not a big deal.

"Spec. air mass" and "Spec. air adaption"

In the service manual, in addition to the mass air flow specification, there is "Spec. air mass" and "Spec. air adaption." The mass air flow spec is 15 kg/h and the spec. air mass figure is pretty...

Hit a bad pothole. Have alignment numbers. What's bent?

I hit a *very* bad pothole on the right side of the car which bent the front right and rear wheel. They are fixed and the car no longer shudders.

I took the car to an alignment shop and got an...

Vetman, what I did was stick a flathead screwdriver in the gap between the arm and ball joint and twist to pop it off. To get them back on, I did use a prying action with the tool provided in the...

Thanks guys. Even with the arms disconnected, i.e. the top in manual mode, the top didn't meet the windshield frame well. Should it be able to without pressure from the top mechanism?

Convertible top does not close tight enough

Hello,

On my '99 Boxster the previous owner replaced the original top with one that has a glass window, and it appears it wasn't adjusted correctly. When closed, the top seems to not meet the...

Glad I'm not the only one, Radman!
