    What year car? The MY02 and new is more complex because of design changes.
  2. Loren
    Since you say they are black then you must have a pre MY02 car. They changed the bumperettes and the mounting slightly in MY02 on. For MY01 and older the bumperettes bolt to two buffer reinforcements (14) that are supposed give (i.e. bend or break) before the bumper/chassis takes the blow. Removing the bumperettes is fairly easy (10 and 11) with an 8 mm long allen socket. However you may not be able to see enough of the buffer bars (14) to see if they are damaged without removing the bumper.

    IMHO that is a good price... providing the 3rd party (which I am pretty sure is not Porsche) is still in business for the full 4 years. A;so, rad the details and make sure more than just major failures are covered and what the deductable is.

    This the only one I see for oil leaks at the rear of the engine. TSB 11/99 1001 Oil Leaks/Engine Bolts (dated 2-9-2000)

    We just did one for about $100 2 weekends ago.

    If you registered (joined the board) from November 19th through today the registration process did not record your Location. Please go to My Controls and then select Edit Profile info and update your Location. Please do not re-register as the problem has been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Basically, no. I sent you a PM explaining. No, not at initial release. Paper copies are current and once a year they release a book and/or CD. You can buy the book/CD at My-Porsche.com. Yes and No. Yes, there are copyright issues which is why they won't be copied.
  11. Loren
    Correct. A PST2 is around $10,000 (unless you get a dealer/special discount - down to $8000). Yearly software updates are $2500/per year and certain changes still require a phone call to PCNA to get permission and unlock codes.

    Porsche trademark. You will find it on a number of things (like your muffler(s)).

    000 044 700 26 Retrofit kit, shortening of shift travel including mounting elements. It shows in the latest (October 2003) RoW parts list. My advice... buy the B&M Short Shifter. Same shifter - 1/3 the price.
  14. Loren
    No. Here is the spec for C4...

    Group size is 48. Try to get at least a 700 CCA or better yet 850 CCA. There is another thread here on the Optima battery. You will need to modify the holddown if you go with Optima. I think a better fit for 996 is the Optima 34R which put the battery post on the right sides and doesn't require any cable rerouting or changes.

    Relay Box -- 1) Remove the fuse panel cover and the carpet cover itself by removing four screws. Release the relay carrier above the fuse panel by releasing a clip on the left and a 10mm nut on the right. 2) Pull it down so you can rotate it around to see the back. The seat comes out easily if you have the E12 External Torx socket -- 4 bolts. Don't forget to disconnect the battery -- just in case.

    Correct. If you do not connect the reverse wire then your distances/directions may tend to be "off" by some amount. I would connect it and run the wire under the center console.
  18. Loren
    The reverse signal wire is under the drivers seat (see diagram). Look for a spot weld with several BK/BL wires. These wires are the reverse gear signal. You will need to splice into any one of these wires and then insulate (tape) well. They recommend running the wire from the Nav through the side panel and up the A pillar -- but I know folks that have run it up the center console. Speedometer A signal is the speed from the instrument cluster. It is the same signal used for the PSE. The easiest place to get this is Relay Support 1 (the relay panel down by your left foot), Position 23 (bottom row, first relay on the left), Bridge Support Connector 1. The Speedometer A signal is the GR/PK wire.

    Kevin, Do you mean the Speedometer A wire or do you mean the reverse wire? I thought the Nav needed the reverse wire?

    There are two Boxster TSBs that mention a P1123 fault. One has to do with water in the air cleaner and the other one has to do with a cracked or leaking oil filler hose. If you want a copy of these TSBs then PM me your private email address.

    I'm a little further South -- in Morgan Hill. I should be home all day Sunday with computer projects, PM if you want directions.

    You need Becker radio keys to remove the radio. Both Jeff and I have a set if you need to borrow them. DO NOT pay $15 or more on eBay for these -- they are $1.80 from Becker! (photo courtesy of Tom Morris)

    Congrats to Orient Express for having this months Featured Porsche of the Month in the Garage. Check out his car and all the cars in the Garage! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    I think they do sell the standard wheel bolts individually. It's the wheel locks that are sold in sets of four.
  25. Loren
    It's pretty straight forward. Here is a link to a kit to plug the holes. (It's actually a rollbar kit). Kit
