I spoke to somebody out of my area w/ a 00 Boxster w/ 44 293 miles FS. The car has even compression and passed a leakdown test. However, there are 2 issues w/ the car which sound like common problems:
1) The catallitic converter(s) need to be replaced (seller said that it might be a recall)
2) There is an oil leak from the valve cover
My question is; are these things easily fixable by a DIYer who has vast experience on hondas and has access to air tools?
PS: it also needs new brake pads all around along w/ rear rotors (that is a 2hr job for me).
How sure are you that the problem is the cat converter? I find it strange that a car with < 45K would have bad cats. Do you have a check engine light? Have you read the codes? Porsche parts are expensive.

I had the same codes on my 99 last year and had the dealer reset it several times. Got the same deal about throttle sensor and finally replaced the mass air sensor my self. I also got software and a plug to my laptop the read and reset codes my self. the MAF replacement is a easy DIY project. The whole deal cost me less than $200.

99 Boxster right rear wheel splash shield bottom rubber lip is not fully attached and one end hangs down. I would like to replace just the rubber or the whole thing if I have to. I would like to get a part number and where to get it online.

Is a 1123 code the same thing as a 1125 except for the other Bank?
