Stryke hit the nail on the head.

I tested both the base and S when I got my car and there is a noticeable difference. This can be objectively measured and cannot be argued. Whether you...

You can get them at your local Toyota dealer. They're MR2 scoops. :p

Personally, I like the 986 scoops better.

OK, I looked at the announcement and still don't get it. So are you saying that avatars are turned off except for a few people from the "old days" (and with over 100 posts)?

Yup. I've got the same problem.

Also, can we get the quoting style changed? Usually on vBulletin when you're quoting someone else it places the quote inside a "box". This makes it much easier...

Know your rights.

There is something called the Magnusson-Moss Warranty. You can read it all here: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/warranty.htm

I think it looks like ass. I'm betting they are just flat aluminum that's been laser cut with a pressure sensitive adhesive applied on the back. Kinda cheesy like toupe cheesy.

You must mean that midget horse jockey? :D Probably because he can't reach the clutch pedal and gas at the same time.

Yeah, I've also seen somewhere that they were 21'ish lbs. If I recall correctly, they're supposed to be 8 lbs lighter apiece from the turbo twists? :eek:

Well, it sounds like you've exhausted (no pun intended) all options as far as Evo and GIAC are concerned.

There's 2 places here in the Bay Area that deal with Porsches and tuning them. ...

I don't know what this guy's statistical model is nor do I care. Predicting what could happen can just lead to widespread panic or the opposite. What we need are facts.

Have you even driven a Boxster???

The only way I can see the "novelty" wearing off is if I had access to Lambos and Ferraris.

I think it'll quickly graduate from your 3rd car to your 1st...

I agree with Adam on the lauch rpms. Ideally, 4.5K lauch but that takes a toll on your clutch as well as possible damage resulting from wheel hop. 3K lauches seem to be perfect for the streets around...

GIAC is custom tunable from what I understand. Obviously Evo can't do it without your car so getting your money back is a good idea. Did they offer any kind of guess as to why you're getting the...

Both H&R and Eibach make quality products and I believe both are TUV approved. The Boxster runs a basic Macpherson suspension...not magic fairy dust. Throwing on a different set of springs will...

Wow. That really sucks. That dip in the 6K range is definitely not good. I still think that the parts have the potential to make good power. Obviously the tuning is out of whack. But how much...

Move the seat up 5"? You'd have to be 5'2 (or less) or you'd be driving grandma style with the steering wheel in your chest. And moving the seat up 5" equals losing that specific amount of...

You're not understanding the various limited slips and what they do. Proper sports cars do indeed come with limited slip diffs. They help you in a corner by allowing the 2 wheels to...

Many factors contribute to wheel hop. Suspension dampening, weight transfer, traction, etc.

With all due respect, you don't make any sense. What would going fast in a straight line have anything to do with handling? Taking a corner on a track is a steady-state affair. A 100 hp car...
