Hi,

The Non-Egas cars (<'00) are not quick cars at all. The Beemer will have much better acceleration. BTW, the Gear ratios for the CWA, or DVY 5-speed Transmission on the '99 are:

Hi,

Those switches are just for moving the Manual Switch to the Dash - they do not indicate whether the Spoiler is Up or not.

There was someone who did a D.I.Y. hack by installing a...

Hi,

I've got a Car Friend who is the original owner of a genuine Porsche 550 Spyder - #47 (bought it at 24, he's 76 now).

At $1.5M+, he cannot afford to have a new driver, or...

Hi,

I used the G2 Kit and it works quite well. I removed my Calipers to paint them and used multiple coats - tricky because the Hardener gives you a fairly small window. But first, I wire...

There are too many healthy (a relative term to be sure) Boxsters out there to consider one which is unhealthy, no matter the cost, give this one a Pass!

Hi,

Sounds a lot like Porsche propping up the Dealerships (again). I would estimate that total costs could easily exceed 30% - 50% more than simply slapping in a new, rebuilt (and...

Hi,

That's interesting, but somewhat suspect. Porsche Group NA has never released separate Cayman figures in any of their Annual Reports, likewise with the Boxster 'S' as it considers them...

Hi,

As mentioned, there are several ways to pinpoint your issue. A Leakdown Test and Coolant Pressure Test are essential to determining a Headgasket leak with any certainty. Also, looking...

One thing a lot of these Asphalt Aces have to look forward to is reaching a maturity where twisting the Ignition Key is not a prelude to a Throw Down to anything on wheels, and where...

Hi,

Chris, just be sure that you bleed both the Clutch and the Brakes. Leaving the old fluid in the Brake Lines will just contaminate the Clutch Line in short order...

Hi,

There is no Clutch Cable in the Boxster - it's a Hydraulic Clutch. If it were the Clutch Master Cylinder, it's more likely that the Clutch would be inoperable.

I suspect the...

Hi,

A dirty MAF is only one possibility. The other is that the MAF has failed (which also is the case in a high % of these CELs).

If dirty, a thorough cleaning (read THOROUGH) can...

Just FYI... Not really, the 'T'stat (PN# 996.106.125.52) is simply a Valve controlled by a Thermal Spring. It is variable, and not merely an ON/OFF Valve, it meters the Coolant Flow...

Hi,

It could very well be a bad 'T'stat, or a leaking Coolant Reservoir, or bad Spring Clamps, or even a leaking Hose.

You'll need to do some investigating to zero-in on the cause....

You need to pull the Faceplate and clean the Brass contacts on both the Faceplate and Head Unit with a Q-tip and some Rubbing Alcohol. Then, carefully reattach it so as to be sure that...

@ Blinkwatt - smart to have a look-see before trying your hand. You'll be amazed at what you'll pick up just spectating.

You usually won't suffer any ill effects, but if you're already using good gas, you won't see any appreciable benefits either.

As mentioned the Tire is definitely compromised. It should not be run past 70MPH for safety's sake (I wouldn't run it at all personally, that's part of the Price you pay).
