  1. Yes. Have a look at the pics in the 3rd radiator DIY.
  2. Any time you change the ride height you are changing the camber - so, yes an alignment is always needed. Any good quality shop that can to a four wheel alignment and corner balance should be able to handle a coilover suspension. Why did you choose GT3 specs? What model and year car? 6 speed or Tip? Coupe or Cab? All of these make a difference in what suspension tuning you use.
  3. Yes. The Kit 996 512 903 00 G2X should fit any MY99 - MY01 car.
  4. Have you checked your oil? I know that would not be good news buy it is a possibility...
  5. I thought there were two codes for cars with PCM I. One for the radio entered at the radio and one for the PCM entered at the PCM.
  6. Check out the updated specials at the Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost link. New Carrera Powerkit price; Boxster Sports Exhausts; Litronic Headlights for early cars; PCCB brake upgrades; Aerokits for both Boxster and Carrera; and Cayenne 4 tube exhausts.
  7. Or... jack the car way up from the rear jack point and put the jack stand under the front jack point. (This works on a Carrera but I've heard it won't on a Boxster).
  8. Lower small lip in this photo. It comes in black and can be painted. On the original GT3 it was not painted. (I have a spare and if I damage mine I will likely not paint the new one).
  9. Well... they stopped making most of the matte finish stuff. Same is true for steering wheel stalks. The buttons are matte only now even if you have to replace a broken one.
  10. Yes, but you will need the lower lip and fasteners also. I'll send you the Aerokit Kit Cup II Install Instructions with part numbers and details.
  11. The switch is only available in matte finish.
  12. For a MY99 - MY01 GT3 front bumper you will need: 996 505 980 02 G2X Front spoiler, primed finish 1ea 996 505 986 00 Spoiler lip 1ea 999 507 427 40 Expanding rivet; 16.0 mm, 8 mm long for spoiler lip 11ea
  13. From what I can find the factory setting is the 2nd hole from the (open) end. But you may need to experiment as your car is heavier (3487 vs 3043) B)
  14. The electronics can likely be transferred but I think the lens and reflectors are glued in. Could be very tricky? Do you have a pic of the cracked one?
  15. 986 731 903 00 01C Mirror housing with light satin black (USA only)
  16. They are larger and do hang down lower also. Expect them to scrape on driveways etc. Perhaps there is a discount on 2 sets :lol:
  17. Unlike some car makers Porsche creates a main harness based on the build order build specs - this means every car is custom. And, there are very few harness sub-assemblies in the Carrera (or Boxster that matter) -- a seat harness is not an available wiring harness. To do this you will need to create your own additional wiring harness and buy the individual parts. I think it can be done but it will be a lot of work running wires. I can email you the schematic (about 2MB) if you are serious about doing this.
  18. There are already quite a number of discussions and comments here on this. Please use the search feature and search for "Porsche coolant" (without the quotes).
  19. Do you mean the front radiator fans or the rear engine compartment purge fan? If it is the engine purge fan then here is the criteria: Switch-on conditions for engine compartment fan (this fan pulls air into the engine compartment) The engine compartment fan is switched on when the engine compartment temperature is > 176 degrees F or the coolant temperature is > 216 degrees F. If the ignition is switched off and the engine compartment temperature is more than 140 degrees F, the DME control module remains in readiness for another 20 minutes. During this time, the engine compartment temperature is retrieved every 10 seconds. If the engine compartment temperature is > 185 degrees F, the engine compartment fan is switched on for 20 seconds. If the engine compartment temperature is still > 185 degrees F after this time, the fan remains on for a further 30 seconds.
  20. Your order codes might help. Can you post a list? O, I could email you the full list?
  21. This is only true on US cars not RoW. It is an option on RoW cars
  22. The TSB is available in the Becker Manuals section by click on Porsche Manuals link here or at the top of each page.
  23. Well, if the light works at start up and the fuse is good then it almost has to be the switch on the handbrake.
  24. I use a butter knife and a cloth underneath to pry it out.
  25. I suggest checking fuse D3 first (fourth row down - 3rd fuse from the left). Did they have the console out for anything? There is a microswitch on the hand brake.
