I am replying to this post due to a chronic problem with the computer(s) on my 2008 C2S. Everytime I drive the car ona track day, I get a limp mode when I start to drive quickly. ( Not sliding and bouncing off berms, just a good pace). The codes are different each day but will repeat after a reset on the same day: 1. Code: "Traction (four five word in between) Implausible" Multiple time in a two day period. I eventually gave up on the track of the car at that point. Reset at the track by professionals on site with a Porsche code reader 2. Code: "Steering Angle Sensor" two times in one day, and I abandoned the track day. Reset at track by Pros w/Porsche code reader. 3, Code: "engine Fault see dealer" One time and I left the track and drove to the dealer. Dealer stated limp mode caused be a momentary rich condition on both cylinder banks. 4. Code: " Traction control" Reset at the track by professionals on site with a Porsche code reader. *Never a problem on the street *Codes are always able to be cleared w/o a problem by the code reader/reset

Is the Sat receiver for the 997.1 install from the 2008 Cayanne?

l i think there is an error in your parts list. part #955.647.117.01 comes up as "navigation antenna s". is the correct part # 955.645.280.02? can you post all the specifics of the actual part ... who made it, and their part number? can't quite read the photo. many thanks for your fantastic post! scott

Hi. I had my 996 GT3 sport seats refinished in Carrera red to match the rest of my RS60 Boxster. They look great, but the monkey (dumb human) that disassembled the plastic parts where the shoulder harness pass though, first stripped the torx-head screws that hold the plastic collars in place, and then actually screwed some oversized phillips-head trim screws right though and out the front side of the plastic collar! I need to get the part numbers for the correct torx head screws and a set of new plastic collars. Thanks

Porsche Sport Exhaust to loud for the track
jeffurnes replied to jeffurnes's topic in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks for the input. Just after I posted my complaint, I searched and found some turn downs made by DynaTech. They can even be ordered with a stainless steel perforated internal cone that is supposed to break up the "raspy" sound that the PSE makes at full song. If I can get the fit right I would be able to direct the tips both down and away from the sound monitor. $89.00 each. I took some rough measurements of the OD and ID of my PSE and the OD is close to 3 1/2" with the inside being close to 2 1/2". I might order them if I can return them if the fit is to far off to fab into shape (lots of "ifs"). I would have the tips held in place with heat tempered springs (like a motocross M/C expansion chamber setup). I will post some pictures on this thread if I get further along with this. Laguna Seca is such a great track. I've been going there since 1965, first as a 10 yr old with my Dad to watch the CAN AM, leading up to being a 20 yr old working on Formula Fords, Formula Atlantic's. Being able to get on track with my Porsche is like a dream come true! I want to keep going. A couple of Porsche specific exhaust parts providers suggested just skipping running at Laguna! Not an option I am willing to accept. Unfortunately noise restrictions will probably get more stringent than they are now, and at more tracks in the future. :angry: -
I had a tough time at a HPDE day at Laguna Seca last Monday :angry: . My stock RS60 Boxster hit a 98db on a cool gray morning. The max db at Laguna for DE days is 92db. I tried again with the "sport" setting off, and still hit 95+db. The section of the track where the the sound reading is taken is between turns 5 and 6: up-hill, third gear heading to near redline. I was able to meet the sound requirement by running through the sound traps in fourth gear, sport mode off, kind of lugging fourth at about 4000 or so revs. I think I might try fabbing up some tips to turn the sound towards the ground. Something that I can put on that does not alter the stock PSE. I know that AWE makes "turn down" tips for the GT3 which help lower the measurable db. AWE does not make them for the 987 though. I would appreciate any leads regarding a manufacturer of pipes that will work on the 987 twin exhaust tips.

Wiring Information for Cayman S -
jeffurnes replied to FrankinCayman's topic in Cayman, Cayman S (987C1)
I "followed" the link the the Cayman club, and printed out the DIY for this topic. I just performed the DME tac wire hook up on my Boxster S. DME was easy to get to, Green wire w/ blue tracer was easy to find. Do inspect the harness as there are several similar looking colored wires. Good Luck -
Running Michelin Cup tires on a 987
jeffurnes replied to jeffurnes's topic in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks Alan. That should give plenty to contemplate -
I would like to run the DOT Michelin Sport Cup tires on my 2008 RS60 Boxster for track days. What sizes (front and rear) works best?
