I like the metal filters because you can use a 3" Filter-mag magnet on it.

Hankook Tire Problems
byprodriver replied to shark715's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
You are right belts do not "slip" but tire belts can seperate from road hazards: punctures, impact breaks, cuts, improper alignment, overheating etc. -
Do I fix the ride or sell the car
byprodriver replied to Daryl80's topic in 986 Boxster Suspension, Brakes, and Wheels
I believe the 030 springs is the main factor to your rough ride so you shoudn't have any problem finding someone that wants to swap with you. If anything else is excessively worn in the suspension you should replace it with oem quality new parts to fix the "loose" feel. Assuming your shocks are worn you will probably want to replace those at the same time as the springs & hopefully the shocks are the only cause for the "loose" feel. Setting front psi at 27psi will make a big improvement now. -
Never done this on a Tip but I would be surprised if it was different from the 6-speed. For a 6-speed thread a bolt into the flange until it contacts the case & starts to pull the flange out thread a 2nd bolt on the opposite side of the flange to press out more evenly. C-ring should be replaced. If Tip & 6-speed part # is the same for clip & flange then R&R procedure is probably the same.

1st I would check your air pressure. IF it is already at spec I would lower to 27psi front & 33psi rear. Next open your front trunk lid & see if option 030 is on the option list label if it is you should find someone to swap standard springs & shocks with you. -
Tranny/axle problems

Have not done this myself, but if you go to Pelicanparts.com they have good pictures that should help in their tech section
