So a couple of weeks ago I traded my 02 986 for an 02 996 C2 Cab with 35K miles on it. Over the last week I've been having some issues with it. First issue, when I start the car and attempt to drive off it feels like it's going to stall out through first and second. I have to ride the clutch a bit and give it some revs to get up to speed. Once I've pushed some gas through in first and second it seems to be fine. Clutch, fuel pump, spark plugs? Any ideas? The other issue is that a couple of times now the anti-lock brakes have kicked in briefly during mild braking. Brake pads going bad. I still need to get the car to the shop to get it looked over. I bought it at the worst possible time due to the hours I'm having to put in at work. Any leads or suggestions would be appreciated.

Two days ago I traded in my Seal Grey 2002 Boxster 986 2.7 with 105,000 miles on a Seal Grey 2002 996 C2 Cabrio with 37K miles. Manual transmission, Black interior. With the Boxster trade and a couple grand I financed for about $430/mo. What?! My friend pays that for his Civic! That also includes a 7 yr/75K mile warranty. Some guys on the 986 forum said I should find a Boxster S if I wanted more power but I figured screw it and bypassed it for the 911. Which is what I always really wanted anyway :) I absolutely love it! I really enjoyed my Boxster the four years I owned it. But this is just a whole other level of awesome that goes beyond the extra 100hp. I can't even imagine a 911 TT or GT2/3. Aside from some minor dings the car is in great overall condition...including the seats. :clapping: Anyway I'll be hangin' around the forum. Cheers, Tim here's my 02 boxster. The hood emblem I found on Ebay from a German artist who takes classic emblems and re-enamels them. Clear side markers and the hood crest were the first things to transfer over.

One more for you. I need the radio code after unhooking my battery to do a mod to the door panel. Thank you for doing this for everyone! It's a kind deed indeed. 2002 Boxster Becker 1 CR-220 4362 SN# 15001981 24/99
