I LOVE those wheels on the 911.

But I'm having trouble finding out who makes them. According to my email query to Axis wheels, they couldn't be Axis Hiros; their reply:

I still have not had a chance to find out what those big bolts are underneath the soft-top cover (they flank the center stop light). But I hand-tightened the "cap" of the right-hand one by about...

Loud "CLUNK" from rear over sharp bumps

I've been noticing more and more a lound "Clunk" from the rear of the car in the neigborhood (best guess) of the right rear shock tower whenever I go over a sharp bump. I think it's getting worse...

Re: Personal Cheque or not, it seems to be based on the type of car. Paradoxically, the higher the price of the car, the less it needs to be a bank or certified cheque!

Can a de-snorkeled Boxster be re-snorked?

The threads that I read about de-snorkeling suggest that you yank really hard to pull out the snorkel.

The one drawback that concerns me would be a comment about de-snorked Boxsters drawing in hot...

Randall: your muffler?

Hey Randall,

Did you drill out your muffler like you said you might? I thought I read somewhere that you did a muffler mod.

If you did, how did you do it and what does it sound like after?

What does "Intake sound" mean? (re: EVO kits, de-snorkel, etc.)

Reading the threads that sprung up about EVO intakes and de-snorkeling, I have heard that intake sound is improved.

What do you guys mean when you say this? I know it's hard to describe but what...

Upgrade 01 2.7L to 03 S? What do you guys think?

So I've had my 01 2.7L for a bit over a year. Love the little guy. I drive it whenever I can so long as it isn't raining (for rainy days I drive my SUV).

The 01 2.7L is fine. It was my first...

Gee, from the way you guys talk, my shocks should be shot now. I've got 43,000 miles on my 01 Boxster. I've only had it for a year and a bit and to me it handles fines.

What would I get back...

I was watching when the mechanic did mine. You just pluck the old filter off of this peg-like thing [yes, I'm really technical, eh?] and you push the new filter back on the peg thing.

DVD Nav LCD screen location?

I'm half-heartedly thinking of getting a double-DIN DVD NAV unit for my 01 2.7L. A double-DIN unit would have the LCD fixed vertically as opposed to units like the Pioneer AVIC-N1 (or N2, N3) that...

No damage would have been. You're not the first guy to have jerked forward accidentally like that. [I'm being sarcastic: EVERYONE'S done that at one point or another.]

If you don't mind me asking Blue200S, how much did the dealer want for this fix.

I agree with Eslai, but also like him, I say if you're happy, that's most important.

Interesting. I didn't know there was a red S available.

Maybe the Miata is there due to bang-for-the-buck. As impressive as the Z06's numbers are, most people can't afford it.

I sat in the new Miata the other day. It seems bigger than the old one. ...
