    Perfect timing, as I am just getting ready to hard-wire my V1 into my '06 C2. This sounds like exactly what I want to do! Have you taken any pictures? Great job! donlycan

    On MY99 Boxster they just snap in place. They are solid rubber, no drain connection. donlycan

    Hi donlycan, Would you be so kind as to share the advice. I am thinking of doing the same in my MY01 Boxster. Thanks, Gus Happy to Gus! Loren's advice was to put tape on the cables to fix their location before disconnecting from the shifter. If you do that you can put them into the short shifter in the same location. If you don't do this then you need to adjuct with the tool included with the Factory linkage. donlycan

    Loren recently advised that there are 2 part numbers for the CDC-4 cd changer. One begins with 996- and the later one that begins with 997- does not supercede it. There are some great deals to be had if I can find out why the different part numbers. As far as I know they both are designed for use with fiber optic cable. Can any one differentiate? Thanks in advance! Don

    I bought a used (2 weeks) APR cat-back system. I spoke with them on the phone today and found them very accomidating. So, their systems are made by B&B? They are good looking. I hope they perform as well as they look! lol I know there has been discussion recently about rear bumper removal for exhaust install. APR highly reccomends it. What to do? Don

    I have located a new cdc-4 cd changer for a great price. I want to install in MY06 C2. I have already had installed the correct cable for this install. Does the part number for the cdc-4 begin with 996-? Has it been superceded by 997-? Will part number 996-645-140-02 work in my car? Thanks in advance! Don

    Well so much for my genious! I see what you mean about sizes! First off, 305's as far as I know are the biggest tires you can put on the rear wheels of a narrow body car if they are 11's or 11.5's. Second your tires look they are in good shape, not worn down to the bars. You can measure depth of tread to be certain. As far as wheel width, it would seem to me that there would be some markings to indicate width, if not, remove tire and measure. While most of what I know has to do with Porsche or BBS wheels and applications for 997s, I think much of the same info works on the 996. Don

    What car? What wheels? Pretty easy after that. Don

    How is the velcro attached? Sewn in or glued? Is it easy to remove? Don
  14. donlycan
    1 out of 4 ain't bad! Don

    I could not agree more! The Valentine V1 is the ONLY detector! Don

    I purchased my screens from TRG. They are Porsche Motorsports sreens. My dealer installed by removing the bumper, as you state. While I don't have the info on removing, the dealer cost to r&r the bumper and install was about $120. In other words it must be fairly easy. Don

    I agree with Phillip about shopping around. I would not rule out the std. Carrera, if equipped properly. If you look at '06 cars, depending on in-service date, you will still have lots of warranty time left. Go for low mileage. The prices on both of those cars are thousands too high! Don

    I did have the tool, unfortunately, I had no info on use. To my earlier question, if all works, is all OK? Don If the gear shift pops out of gear or you feel there is not enough movement to engaging a gear, then you'd need to realign the cables using the tool. This may not happen immediately, but you may be in the clear. Be aware however, that because the short shift reduces travel, it increases the forces on the joints/linkages. If the cables are not correctly aligned and you start having the above problems, you run the risk of doing damage. Pop I think I'll be taking the console apart again. I was afraid this might be the answer. I did drive 200 miles after the install with no problems, is that enough time to tell? Don

    That would be awesome!!! I saw the same listing and immediately notified my Porsche friends. Don

    Even with the bumper cover off, won't the heat shield still be in the way? Don

    Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with APR exhaust gor 997?
  23. donlycan
    On Friday my buddy and I installed short shifters (OEM) in our cars(his-Cayman S and mine 997). Loren had provided me with some excellant advice. Since the cars are basically the same, for this job, we worked on them at the same time. A key tip that Loren provided was to mark th cables with tape to avoid adjustment later. Things were going so well that I forgot! My friends car went together easily and works fine. Mine did not go so well. The first time I attached everything together I had no reverse! I adjusted until I got all working. The question is-just because the car shifts fine, how do I know all is adjusted correctly? I really felt dumb because marking would have been so easy!!!
  24. donlycan
    Thanks for the info! What wheels, brand/name, are you running? They are beautiful! Is your car lowered? PASM? Don
  25. donlycan
    Thanks White! Are you saying that the job is the same for both 987 & 997? Don
