    You may be able to find a used “Enthusiast” version, but them you would only have 2 cars left. I just upgraded to the "Pro" and got full trade-in credit for my used one.

    I have an extra one. PM sent. Welcome to Renntech! :welcome:

    I did mine last Spring. I purchased the caliper paint from TireRack and left the calipers attached to the wheel. Here is the link PRESS HERE

    You are WELCOME!

    Doesn't sound like the issue would come from the accident. Check fuse and make sure key is on and emergency brake is pulled.

    They also make a spray like "spray paint" that works exceptionally well.

    I recently used your DIY and created my own AOS tester. Here is a shot of an adapter attached to my oil cap. Here are two photos of the air tube with one end attached to the oil cap and the other to the gauge. I marked the start and then the finish after opening the valve to the oil cap. Here s a short movie clip of activating the valve by the oil cap.

    Anybody come across anything like this?

    I broke my socket last winter replacing my summer tires for my winter ones. I drove it to a dealer and the service guy came out and replace the lug nut for me. We had to special order a new one. He said there are 25 different (+- 1 or 2 I can't remember) combinations. It was like $40-$50 for one and took a week to receive it.

    I was working on a soft top of a 2000 S and came across the nut below. It takes a 14mm wrentch to turn it. Any idea as to what it is for or what it came off of?
  14. kbrandsma
    Perfect! That's exactly what I needed to know. I saw the bottom nut on the evap canister, but didn't see the top one, so didn't know how to remove it. Plus, the write-up (and pics!) at the link you provided was great. Thanks! No problem, glad to help and welcome to Renntech! :welcome:

    The actuator is in the passenger fender(under the gas cap). To access it you need to remove front wheel and the black wheel well liner. There are two nuts (10mm) and four (4) plastic rivets. Here is a DIY in the 996 forum PRESS HERE

    The exact same thing happened to me two summers ago. My car was at idle and dumped a gallon or so of coolant. I replaced the radiator cap and installed a new bleeder valve and it has been fine ever since. I added additional coolant and distilled water and used the bleeder valve to burp the air out.
  17. kbrandsma

    I built one. Thanks for the write up!

    You have a faulty micro switch in the front trunk. Here is the DIY. PRESS HERE

    Great assistance! Thank you!

    I'm working with a friend on his MY00 Boxster S that recently had a LN IMS Upgrade by a qualified Indy. The mechanic did not use the Camshaft lock tools that came with the kit. What if any should we be concerned with or be looking for to determine any faults with this installation? Can Durametric read any Actual Values that might help? Thanks in advance!

    I cleaned my throttle body a couple of months ago and the gasket you are referring to literally fell apart when I removed the Idle Control Valve (ICV) to clean it. I ordered another from Sunset and while waiting assembled the unit with Permatex Ultre Black Gasket Silicon. It worked great and I haven't had to install the original gasket yet.

    I would not recommend going all manual. I fixed a top recently by readjusting the center latch microswitch. It was a 5 minute job. But its you car. To go all manual - on each side, under the clam shell, there is a "V" shaped wheel directly above each rear tire that have two push rods attached to each of them. Pry off the push rods. The short one from the "V" and the longer one at it's most forward position. The top then can be opened and closed manually.

    I like the feature on my Escort 9500ix that stores false alarms after 2 0r 3 times on a route. It's great if you use the same road repetitively. I've never owned a Valentine but on the freeway most of my hits always seem to be going the other direction of the interstate. The arrow would seem beneficial to actually spot the source.

    Check radiator cap and if ends in 00 replace. Also, I just cleaned my radiators this weekend and temperature gauge dropped quite abit. And behind the AC Condenser
