I wouldn't worry about using spacers so long as it's not too excessive. Sure there's going to be more wear on the bearings. But so what? When you're autoxing or on the track you're also adding...

I'd never buy a loaner car. Or a lease return for that matter.

If buying used, I look for enthusiasts with meticulous records. There's way too many people out there jumping speed bumps with...

I think the tech is on crack. 26/32 will be understeer madness, not to mention open up the front wheels for potential pothole damage with that low a pressure. Check with the guys on the Boxster...

Yeah, it's a 3 minute job. Take off the battery cover, unscrew one torx bolt and remove the second cover that hides the pollen filter.

One thing you want to be careful about when removing the...

Arrggh. I even tried googling it but have no idea. Definitely can't phone a friend. And since there's no 50/50, I'll guess Speedster humps and RTS...and that's my final answer. :D

Yes, those pollen filters are insanely priced. Especially the charcoal-filtered ones. I think I'll take your advice and vacuum it out every 3K miles or so since it's pretty easy to access.

Hardtop? I believe it's so you don't accidentally try to raise your fabric top. But I thought the hardtop latches onto the latch area? :confused:

Doesn't matter how fast an SRT-4 is.

It is a POS. End of story.

I'd rather have a WS6 if I wanted to go fast in a straight line. At least it's rear wheel drive. You can get one slightly...

The alarm is not supposed to beep. It only beeps when something is left open (e.g. the center console, rear trunk, etc).

The lights should flash. Don't know why yours isn't doing it.

Rich,

Good point. That is one of the main reasons for the whistling sound. Matter of fact, I did adjust the front down a little a while ago. Come to think of it, maybe that's why I haven't...

I think clears all around would update the look nicely.

Painted bumperettes = good.

Painted calipers = good.

That's a good drop! Looks just right.

What specs were you able to align the car to? Looks to be a good amount of negative camber on the rears.

Could be a multitude of things. Wind going over the side view mirrors, a slight air leak from the windows, or even what kind of front end you have on the car.

The 986S is 100 lbs heavier than the 986 but only 50 lbs heavier than a base...
