    We paint calipers here at FastForward Performance... Infact, I think you may have sent them to us already, We just got in a set yesterday that were pretty jacked... they were yellow but looked like someone tried to paint them red with a brush and it flaked off in alot of area's

    I've done it on the Cayenne before. Only special tool you'll need is a Ball-Joint Removal tool to pop the front knuckles off the lower control arm & Steering Tie-rod. However, the rear strut and front strut assemblies are very heavy so removal without a lift and maybe a friend will be very difficult. Also you'll need alot of extensions to remove the top 4 bolt from the rear strut assembly. Also, if you have the height adjustment on your vehicle and you swap out the struts you will end up with error messages on your dash that are a result of not having the electronically controled adjustible factory struts installed anymore.

    I've done an AOS on afew 996's already, You dont have to drop the transmission or engine todo it but trust me, its well worth it to take to a shop for that particular service... Its a solid 8hr job. Also, if your 996 is a Tip... it'll be just as hard and cramped to remove the AOS. 996 require removal of the airbox/throttle body/driver side intake plenum, not a walk in the park... unless we're talking a park at nite in a bad neighborhood.

    Sounds like an issue with the pressure plate that the fidanza clutch kit comes with.

    I have the same Pcode (P0441) on my boxster AND i also hear this faint, yet audiable horn... almost like a whoopy cushion coming from somewhere need the the fuel door lid.... Any advise?
  6. CJ_Boxster
    I figured it out, gears in the electric motor striped out so manually i can lift it and electronically it wont catch.
  7. CJ_Boxster
    Thanks for the diagram, ok i see the electric motor that pulls the clam open and when i press the button to close the top, I can hear and feel the electric motor running but it doesnt seem to pull open or shut the clam shell... What now?
  8. CJ_Boxster
    Where is this micro switch?
  9. CJ_Boxster
    OK figured it out but i have a new issue now... problem was that the tiny push rod that pulls the clam shell lock/latch's clip had uncliped it self to the clam shell was stuck in lock position. New problem now is that now after i reattached the rod to the lock latch... the clam shell doesnt move at all just like before, I have to manually lift the clam shell in order to get the rag top up. when i get the clam shell all the way back, i can use the button on the console to get the top to close and open... problem is that the clam shell wont shut afterwords... how do i get it to start working again... I can hear a sound below the clam shell like it wants to try and open but nothing happens.

    Actually heres an update on whats going on... when i use the button on the center console to try and lift the top, I hear a light click sound from under the top but no movement what so ever. when i try and turn the manual allen bolt to lift the top, only the passenger side of the clam shell will lift, but not the drivers side... it only goes up about 1/4 of an inch then i cant turn the allen bolt any further.
  11. CJ_Boxster
    I tried that and i get the same issue where only the passenger side wants to lift while the drivers side of the clam shell is stuck down.
  12. CJ_Boxster
    Hey guys, I have an 01 cab im trouble shooting, The clam shell seems to be locked down on the drivers side but the passenger side wants to lift but it cant since the drivers side of the clam shell is stuck down... Any advice?
  13. CJ_Boxster
    hmm, it could be the MAF. Question... Just before it stalls, does the idle start to dip and raise abit seconds before it actually stalls... Also does your C4S seem alittle under powered than your used to lately?
  14. CJ_Boxster
    Its likely your AOS, Usually the early stages or best case senarios for failing AOS is a small to large plum of smoke at startup. Worst case is non-stop smoke. Where are you located?

    Judging by the smell and the rubber dust all over the place, its safe to say your A/C compressor is seized. You'll need a new one and have to recharge the system. With the firewall cover off, start the engine with the A/C off, then keep your eye on the compressor pulley and turn on the A/C, if the pulley on the compressor stops moving and the belt just slides on it, your compressor is junk.
  16. CJ_Boxster
    I believe it is normal for the pressure plate to stiffen as the clutch is put through more use.
  17. CJ_Boxster
    Check the Bellows tube of your new AOS and make sure the hose clamp wasnt over tighted bacause if you tighten it too much it could cut right through the rubber bellows tube and cause a vacuum leak. If thats not the case, then try cleaning your MAF with CRC Mass Airflow Sensor Cleaner sold at almost any autoparts store now a days.

    The last time I fixed a customers door rattle it turned out to be the micro switch for the outside door latch had uncliped itself from the interior of the outside door latch and was very hard to tell it was hanging at first but turns out that was the source of the rattle.

    H&R's are alittle harsh for someone that wants to maintain ride quality, You might want to check on Eibach's I have them on my Boxster and while yes the Boxster is completely different than a 997TT, the Eibach's do lower the car and you still have alot of ride comfort after installing them.
  20. CJ_Boxster
    FYI the piston at the top of the spring has been updated so while you have it out you might want to pick up the new one, i dont know what the benefits would be but an "improved" design couldnt hurt?
  21. CJ_Boxster
    When you start the engine when cold, it should rev past 1200 rpms then come back down to about 900-1000 till the engine warms up a bit, then lower to about 850-900 rpms.

    1schoir and RFM, thank you guys for the kind words, Even though I dont officially start till tomorrow on tuesday, I went a head and replaced a fellow Porsche owner's broken drivers door window on his 997S friday nite, way past normal closing time for the shop. I cant have my boys driving around with 1 missing window! Im always willing to work on these Porsches beyond normal shop hours :wrench:

    What would happen to performance/drivability if you just disconnected it and plugged off the intake? Then your oil quality would degrade quickly, the gases the oil creates while the engine is operating need to be sucked out and burned through the intake and exhaust so they do not polute the air and help prolong the life of your oil.
  24. CJ_Boxster
    Thanks Knarf, Ill be doing just that!
  25. CJ_Boxster
    Not a dumb question at all, your right it is a bit of a glorified crankcase vent however it does also keep the bubbled oil from entering the intake.
