Because there aren't many mainstream wheels that fit the Porsche properly and TireRack only carries mainstream parts.

Schnell short shifter review

Well, after reading all the raves about the Vertex/Schnell short shift kit I went ahead and bought one. To say I'm a bit disappointed would be an understatement. Here's my review of the product and...

Here in Florida it's almost a requirement if the car is going to spend any significant time outside. With the glass rear I'm lucky but I haven't done it yet (not a big deal in the winter months).

My wife wanted a Boxster from the moment she saw one years ago. The only problem, she never learned how to drive a manual. That presented a problem because in this household Porsche's only come...

At this point I think the dealer or a good independant shop who knows the Boxster / 996 electronics is your best solution. If could be something as simple as a failed relay.

Check the battery connections. Clean them and reinstall them. You would be surprised how many phantom electronics problems are caused by low current situations.

Actually, the more I remember it wasn't the steering lock you had to disengage, it was the park lockout you had to engage to get the starter to energize. Ah, those were the days :D

Yep, but it's not as bad as the "I never drive it in the rain" garage queens posers.

Porsche's aren't jewelry, they are cars that are meant to be driven!
