Thanks for posting your experience and tips Dale. I'm hoping to do this install pretty soon myself, so your notes are much appreciated.

Radio ticks/clicks when car unlocked
vbhagwan replied to marky2006's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Ditto - I've observed this rapid ticking, no idea what causes it (I'll try to listen to the radio next time around). -
TP, let me know if you have any time this week -- I tried opening the screws over the weekend, and ended up with a couple of scratches (thankfully only on the inside). Thanks!
-
Jeff, You are right -- I was using the Torx bit sent by Colgan. Both my screws appear to be pretty tight. I sent you a PM with my ph etc. I'm planning to give it another shot with a toolbox, but don't expect much, so any help from your side will be appreciated. Let me know where your off is and what time is good for you and I'll stop by. Thanks!

Thanks for the pics Jeff. Yeah, those screws are the ones I'm having trouble with. I did get the proper torx bit (came with the clips from Colgan), but also didn't use too much force. I'll check my toolbox to see if I have something that will attach to the torx bit and make it an easier job. If that doesn't work, guess I'll either take it in to a local shop or just wait for the next 'work on cars' day :). Thanks again.

Apologies if this has been covered earlier -- several searches didn't get me what I needed. I have a nose bra for the boxster, the kind that goes over the lights. Toolpants showed me where the clips need to go in the trunk (to which the second/lower half of the bra is attached). However, I am unable to get those bolts to open up using the torx screw. I don't want to use excessive force, as a slip could result in a scratch on the paint. Further investigation online revealed something called a "liquid wrench" -- essentially a liquid that loosens up rusted/corroded bolts. What I want to know is : * Is there any reasonably easy way (other than liquid wrench) to open the bolts? * Is there any harm in using the liquid wrench? (cosmetic or otherwise) ** If you have used liquid wrench, which local store is it available at? (I tried the websites for autozone, kragen etc. with no luck). * If you have done this before, are comfortable doing this and are in/around south san jose, I'll happily drive over and buy you coffee for helping me with this. Thanks all! V

Litronic Auto Leveling Headlights
vbhagwan replied to jbboxsters's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
I don't know for sure if _all_ litronics are auto-leveling or not (I'd guess they are), but I have seen them in action and they do "move" when first turned on. It is definitely not perceptual due to the "xenon charge". -
I know this is an old thread, but don't want to start off a new one if this'll do the trick. Is there a "Work on Cars" day planned anytime in the near future/2007? At this point, I don't really have anything on my car (01 Boxster) that needs work, but I'd like to come help out (no experience working on cars, so "learning" is the vested interest here :) and meet some of the folks I've been reading about thus far. Oh, and I'm in south San Jose area.
