    I've heard of a number of broken welds in mufflers but not the cats. Not to say the cats can't have a broken weld too...
  2. Loren
    Ok... A DIY is now posted in the Carrera DIY section (same process for Boxsters)

    You need two pieces. Item 10 -- Retaining frame (955 701 105 00) with four screws (item 11) 907 981 01 (M6 x 20). and then you need item 23 Support (955 701 105 00).

    Its not too hard... maybe 30 minutes with the right tools.

    MY02 Boxster S, Tip, Computer 986 641 234 00 EOD Black / Silver

    I was told by a dealer employee that the silver handles are no longer available -- and that they are only available in black (I do not know if that is true or not). Once you have the parts please post here what you got. Also, once you have the parts email me and I'll email you the instructions.

    No TSBs yet... Porsche may have to wait for more customer complaints. ;) Most of the problems with the earlier cabs was solved with teflon tape and Gummi-Pflege.

    Every 6 months should be ok.

    We have added a new section to the site: RennTech.org -- Special Offers. In this section vendors and suppliers will offer special discounts to RennTech.org members. (You must be a member to get these special prices). The first offer is now posted for the popular 9X6 Werks DIY / Upgrades DVDs. Check it out here

    Pretty much. About a 5 minute job, removing and replacing the switches is the most difficult part. Tom Morris wrote really good DIY on this... but his site seems to be down right now. Here are part numbers you will need: 996 552 096 01 D05 Console Shelf (about $41)* 996 552 596 00 Rubber Pad for Tray (about $5) * Note that the D05 designates Granite Grey interior so your color code may be different.

    Pop out 2-4 of the cd holder trays and then grab them and pull. The new storage bin just snaps in also. About a 30 second job :D
  12. Loren
    Welcome I hope you enjoy the site! Don't forget to add your car and mods to the RennTech.org -- Garage :cheers:

    The Boxster method is here. In theory you can do what I suggested to racer08 on Rennlist. That would be to run the SDV control to radio to override the DSP control. If all else fails you can always remove the DSP -- most folks think it adds very little anyway.

    Pulling the headlight switch out one notch turns on the front fog lights and pulling it out two notches also turns on the single rear foglight.

    Here is the Porsche part number for the CDC-4 Kit for MY03 and newer (MOST bus) Carrera and Boxster: 000 044 900 72 As Jeff said, once its installed your dealer will have to activate it with his PST2.
  16. Loren
    These instructions are now available as a TSB. Let me know if you want a copy.
  17. Loren
    About an hour the first time...
  18. Loren
    You do not need to take the rear bumper off. It may be easier to get the mufflers out with the rear tires off though. See my complete write-up here

    Rob, I'll send you what I have... Hopefully, Gert will repsond about availability and legality. I don't think Porsche ever got an engine with this kit on it tested in the US.
  21. Loren
    (edit: I split this topic off so it would be easier to find)
  22. Loren
    There are no TSBs on cracked or leaking washer fluid tanks. But I have heard of several folks that have had the problem. There are two tanks. One for cars with headlight washers (996 528 701 00) and one for cars without (996 528 701 01).
  23. Loren
    I think you talking about the rectangular baffle in the air cleaner housing? If so, I have some bad news for you... Porsche does not sell that part by itself. You must buy the whole air cleaner housing 996 110 921 50. Sorry :blink:
  24. Loren
    Doug, My documents don't have a build date or VIN number but from what I can tell it was changed in either late 1998 builds or early 1999 builds. My car is a June 99 build and it has changes. I'll send you an email with all the 3.6 X51 kit parts. There was also an X51 kit for the 3.4 liter that was not sold in the US. I think I have instructions but may not part numbers for that kit.
  25. Loren
    The later 3.4 liter cars are better than the early ones as they changed the internal baffles. The 3.6 liter cars got additional oil pump capacity and as well the baffles. The 3.6 Powerkit upgrade took this even a little further with a second oil pickup point and a new baffle system. But, Porsche still recommends that if you use racing tires you should by the Porsche MotorSports Kit and install it. (Some engine disassembly is required).
