Anybody else use their car for a therapy session on occasion? My mom called this morning and told me that my grandfather passed away this morning. After a 2 1/2 hour spirited drive through the country I felt a lot better. It's not just a car!

Hey guys, I have an 01 cab im trouble shooting, The clam shell seems to be locked down on the drivers side but the passenger side wants to lift but it cant since the drivers side of the clam shell is stuck down... Any advice?

I just purchased my first Porsche - a 2000 911 C2 Cabriolet (attached)

A few questions on the Gemballa spoiler:

1. The spoiler dash light turns on and off periodically, even when traveling between 30 and 45 MPH. Is there a way to override the sensor, since there's no moving spoiler anymore?
2. The engine release lever doesn't actually "release". I have to pull it and have my wife lift up the wing to I can get to the engine (she wasn't too happy about that "this is a Porsche!" is all I heard...) Any way to make that release? Install a different shock or something?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

It is time for me to replace the air filter on my '01 Boxster and I am considering adding a non-paper filter.

The guy I source some of my parts from no longer carries the BMC element since he said the K&N is as good as for a fraction of the price. $34 for the K&N, $90 for the BMC.

Are both filters equivalent?

On another note, any reason I should stick with the paper (OEM) filter - I like the induction noise and will let the oiled filter rest for a while wrapped in newspaper if I decide to go that route? Anything else that could go wrong with these?

Thanks,
Gus

Hi all, I have a front plate mount for those who do not wish to drill any holes into their bumper .
It consists of a machined aluminum bolt which threads into the front tow hook inlet and a heavy duty bracket to which the plate is attached.

It installs in just a few minutes and absolutely nothing touches the bumper.

Many have bought the kit to just pass inspection or for a "fix it" ticket .

I t fits all recent model 911's and Boxter /Caymans
and sells for $ 37.50 ( including shipping in US )

If anyone is interested in one, you can e-mail me at:
