  1. Hi All, Going to do a compression test on my newly acquired Box. Just want to be sure of the procedure:
    Eng to operating temp
    Pull all coil packs and plugs
    Pull Fuel pump fuse
    Disable Ignitions Sys(not sure how)
    Attach Comp.gauge
    Throttle to the floor Crank 5 or so times
    Repeat for other cylinders then repeat with squirt of oil in each

    Just not sure how or why to disable ignition sys when all the coils are removed anyway. Can I just un plug the DME in the trunk to do this? Did it before can't remember.

    Thanks V

  2. So I purchased a 2008 boxster w 42000 miles from a scrapyard. Took for its maiden voyage on the highway and the engine overheated. I added some coolant before leaving cause the low coolant light was blinking. About 40mins in the temp gauge jumped and was pinned to the right with no gradual increase. I also smelled electrical burning. Warning light blinked engine too hot. Immediately shut down...cooled off got it home. The 'eng.too hot 'came on again as I pulled in the garage. Hope I didn't do ant damage to the engine. Today it cranked right over....let in run half hr and the temp gauge didn't move. This issue is the 1st to fix on this long restoration. I'm thinking the thermostat isn't opening and probably needs to be replaced along with the temp sensor. Or...faulty temp sensor isn't allowing the thermostat to open....no signal. Any help would be great. V

  3. Hi all,99 Boxster I'm swapping a black cluster cover for my grey one. I have to swap the black plastic insert as well cause I customized it to fit the 911 cluster gauge with the batt/oil gauges. I removed all the screws and it seems the cover is glued in at the front leading edge....can't get it out. Any thoughts....heat gun perhaps? Vince

  4. Yes, I simulated load with a jack under the wheel carrier ...i went up and stopped when the car began to lift off the stand then backed off on the jack a bit to lower the car. I believe the lower control arm was sort of parallel to the ground. The creak went away for a while then it rained and started coming back. It creaks when I turn the wheel...sounds like its from right shock tower. Thought its the shock mount and was gona back it off a 1/4 turn. V
