Ok, post surgery report...

i had to get the Flexane 94, no one had 80 for several hundred miles.

take your time when preparing for the pour, really make sure you seal it up on the bottom.

the ride is stiff, the throttle response is definetly improved. the vibrations on the other had are a little much for my wife, it feels like a race car which in my mind is awesome, but it is a little harsh for daily driving.

i may redo a mount with the 80 to see if it is any better.

anyone have an old mount they would like to sell?

Guy's I am killing myself here where do I find this Flexane stuff. I want to get this done ASAP.

TIA

I wish! I could really use one for mine to pull just a little more out of it.

That e-charger has been bashed allot yet there was a 928 a few months ago in a porsche mag(do not remember what one) that was using one. My whole issue with these are they have two settings on and off. My idea would be on cars post 2000 since they use the drive by wire system. Somehow tap into that were that e-charger would spin faster with more throttle. Please someone tell me I am crazy. Thanks

Ok I have removed all bolts in sight. My muffler still will not come out. I see on the new one there are two bolts on top yet I can not find them to get at them. Any Help would be great.

Here is the story, I installed a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs 6 months ago on my 2000 Porsche Boxster S. I had an alignment done right after by Sparks tire (good shop), two months later tires were eaten up so I got new tires and a new alignment by Alignment Specialist (Best in St. Louis). Then, last week. I noticed my rear tires were gone again. I called Eibach and told them the story. Their tech dept. said it was all the alignment shops that I used, so I went to Park town Motors(local Porsche dealer), and they still could not get it in spec. Again, I called Eibach their tech dept. said “oh it is the bushings or something is bent”. So Friday, 2/18 I drove to Kansas City Missouri to go to Imagine Auto a very well known Porsche race tuning shop recently with their 996 TT on the cover of Excellence magazine advertising a car with 683 WHP and 744 PD TQ. I had them take a look, unfortunately, I had installed everything correctly. I wish they had a better answer for me like I screwed it up. Then they had the car aligned again by their specialist that gets every car in spec., but of course mine still did not. It will not come to anything less then -2.0 camber. The car is also sitting at 3/4" lower than it supposed to. I have spoken with Blaine at Eibach's tech department many times with no avail except to take off the springs, send them in "we" will then inspect them and pretty much tell me how I am screwed. What should I do I have spent $500 in alignments in the last week and over two grand on this project. What are my choices and if I do not have any please be advised of Eibach's lack of customer care that they have and will continue to provide.

Anything on the Bosch +5. This is what alot of TT owners are using also does anyone have a recommendation for wires maybe the 8mm style? I am looking towards you Scott or tool pants.

Thanks guys

To bad I can't fix my Cardinals like the car.

Its fixed thanks Scott for always calming me in my time of need!

I installed an EVO intake a month ago. Well one of the hose clamps came loose and the intake was sucking much more air from the wrong place.

Unhooked battery then pluged then played. No light after 20 min drive.

Nope none of the above. Well I did add gas the day before and then drove 85-90 highly motivated back road miles. In between time of fueling and time of CEL appearance 10-12 starts.

Carrie and I were staying at a B&B and the car was driven on a light gravel road and left outside for the night.

I thought I have seen a hack to read codes on the climate control.

When after reaching high RPM's then depressing the clutch the car will die. MAF?

the check engine light that is.

:cheers:

I have the same issue on my 2000 S. I believe it is the starter solenoid after asking Scott earlier this week. Keep us posted if anyone has a diminutive answer.

Thanks it looks nice how about the ones on the monster Boxster

Can you post more pics of that last boxster. I would like to see the side intakes (C/F?) on them and if you know the guy find out where he got those. :thumbup:

:cheers:

Thanks scott

P.S. 2 seperate issues.

From our local tech sessions at Tim's shop.  A 2000 2.7 converted to a 3.4, with a few modifications.

On the lift.

Biggest front brakes I have seen on a Boxster.  The original front calipers are on the rear.

996 cluster.

Great Nose, Great wheels, great exhaust, Perfect Mods. Nice to see thanks.

What exhaust is that and will it fit on a 3.2

Do you have two squeaks or does the car shake inducing the squeak in the hardtop, [probably the easiest to fix]. There is a chirp which can be a by product of a bad starter solenoid.

I hate to sound like a bird, but a squeak emanating from where ?

The top is probably squeaking from either three points, the lower two pins behind the doors, or in the roof center clamping position.

I would say a little WD-40 or squirt of white lithium will stop the top from squeaking.

The top is squeking from the clip on the drivers side and it does rattle a bit. and this is constent. (where the top slides into the windshield.)

The starter selenoid how much of a pain is this to replace Diagram by chance and part number. Man you guys are the best.

Toolpants or Mickeymouse you may know this.. I am having a issue like stated above that at start up the car squeaks and then nothing. Though it only does this every so often it is still annoying as hell though.

New topic

I put the hard top on and it also is squeaking to high heck but this never stops. Any suggestions?

:drive:

Thanks

JP

How do I post a pic?

Both sides are trashed. I will try to find one at a yard local I assume there must not be much difference between that spring and many others.

no answer this is no help:(

does anyone know if an Audi part will x-over and also what these look like on?

I was just thinking of doing the same thing please keep me posted on this.
