    Exerpt: More to come when it gets here in a few days...

    According to the TSB - it looks the same. Grey/Pink wire is still speedometer A signal and they add a same relay.

    You can drive the car if the CE light is on steady. If the CE light is flashing then no don't drive the car. That indicates a serious problem that could cause engine damage.

    Get the Pcode read by someone with a scan tool. Write down all the Pcodes and then post them here. Some parts stores will do this for free.

    The front brake pad area for Boxster S (and Carrera 2/4) is 254 cm - the GT3 (mk1) rear brake pad area is 254 cm. So the pads are still making the same surface contact even with the larger rotor disc. I would guess the larger rear disk on the GT3 provides better cooling and support the GT3 (Porsche MotorSport) sport pads (sorry don't know the specs on the sport pads 996 352 930 91).
  6. Loren
    No the Boxster S rear calipers are: 996 352 421 xx 996 352 422 xx The pads are different too (similar but different).

    Odd... I've installed a half dozen or so of these (all versions) and the PSE always came with mounting brackets. I also never had to bend any of the exhaust tubes (even though they can be).

    Just follow this link Decals/Racing Numbers
  9. Loren
    Yes, it is the exact same part number.

    The PST2 is used to measure the fluid temperature. The correct temp to check the ATF is 30 to 40 degrees C. A correct level is a slight amount of fluid escaping from plug B when removed - engine idling, car in "P", A/C off, and car on level ground. To add more fluid you have to remove the cap off the charging valve A and connect a filling tube to pump ATF in.

    The second stage fans always come on and stay on when the A/C is running.

    Sorry, I though you wanted the door seal that goes all the way around the door frame. LOL- picture makes it clear. 996 551 119 04 A03 Lining (Black)(for coupe w/o comfort seats) 996 551 119 05 A03 Lining (Black)(for coupe w comfort seats)

    I doubt you can order these since they are no longer on the US parts list. Perhaps from Germany though... 996 551 511 03 V01 Front Handle in Silver (LHD cars) 996 551 512 05 V01 Rear Handle in Silver (LHD cars) or (I think these are black only) 996 551 511 07 Front Handle (LHD cars) 996 551 512 07 Rear Handle (LHD cars) Some folks have had success paiting them with Wurth Silver and then several coats of Wurth Clear cloat. You will lose the silkscreen though.

    In order to reset the ce light you will need a scan tool or disconnect the battery for 5 minutes. If you do the later then you will need the radio code and also need to reset the clock. If after a reset the light comes on again then you have not solved the problem and likely need to use a scan to readout the "Pcode". From that you should be able to zoom in on potential causes.

    If you have access to a hoist or pit and a second set of strong hands it is likely doable. Here is the tool (actually a brace) and how it is used. I would think a well place jack would work well too - except that you have the risk of knocking it when removing the transmission.

    In order to use an 11" rear wheel on a narrow body car you will need to get the offset to 63 mm. Some tires will still rub but you are likely safe with the GT3 recommended tires as they are know by the factory to work on narrow body (GT3s) without rubbing. Current recommended tires for the GT3 are: 235/40 Z 18 & 295/30 ZR 18 Michelin Pilot Sport TL N2 (Directional) 235/40 Z 18 & 295/30 ZR 18 Pirelli P-ZERO Rosso N5 (Directional) 235/40 Z 18 Pirelli P-ZERO Corsa N6 (Directional) 295/30 Z 18 Pirelli P-ZERO Corsa N6 (Directional & For Specified Side Only)

    You will need the proper tools, hoists and jack supports. The engine MUST be supported when removing the transmission. From the manual: 1. Remove underbody panels (middle and rear). 2. Remove cross member. 3. Support engine with special tool retaining device No. 9624/1 (e.g. engine supporting jack). To do so remove the stabilizer installation and pivot stabilizer forwards. 4. Assemble special tool retaining device No. 9624/1 on the body with the stabilizer fastening screws and adjust pressure screw so that the pressure disc is aligned with the crankcase. 5. Remove drive shaft on transmission side. 6. Separate electrical connection from the reversing light switch. 7. Unclip the hydraulic line for the clutch slave cylinder at the side transmission case cover. 8. Unscrew clutch slave cylinder suspend on side. Do not remove hydraulic line. 9. Remove switch cable from the transmission and pull it off the transmission switch and selector lever. 10. Place transmission jack under the transmission and fasten fixing strap. 11. Remove transmission container. 12. Remove transmission support. Note: The transmission can be lower by a maximum of 25 mm to improve accessibility. 13. Unscrew fastening screws (8) between engine and transmission. 14. Pull transmission to the front and lower.

    One radiator in front of each front wheel (2). There is also an A/C condenser in front of each radiator. Exceptions with three are: Tiptronic cars, X51 cars, GT3, and cars like mine that have the third radiator added on. Third radiator (only on some cars)
  23. Loren
    Most likely road debris caught in the front radiator (warm side). Clean the radiator well (as the manual recommends). Worst case remove the front bumper and do a complete cleaning.

    I may get to Laguna Seca Sunday... I have a god-daughter event on Saturday.
