Certainly if you had all four springs done - and chances are they loosened or removed the swaybars for the work. I would go through and make sure everything is where it should be and tight.

One other thing I guess could that happen is if one shock completely died - it might act pretty weird if that happened.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks Loren! Outside of a shock leaking how can I tell it went bad?

P.S. I have been looking for an excuse to go to a PSS9 setup but I want to cure the problem first

Check for tire damage/proper inflation, loose wheel(s), loose sway bar, and  perhaps even a spring that has shifted on it's mount.

I know this might sound a little off but should I check the front also? Could that have an effect on the rear?

I posted this over at Rennlist but I thought I would throw it out here to see if I get a different response.

I was getting on the freeway today and as I was accelerating the rear end started to wiggle or shimmy a little bit. I was doing about 80 and the on ramp has a sweeping right hand turn to it. I have felt this a little before but today it was more noticeable. A month ago I lowered the car with H&R's and put 19's on it. The wheels were balanced when I got them and the car has been realigned after the spring install. Any advice would be grateful

A further description would be it started to bounce and wiggle at the same time :drive: :drive: :drive:

PM me if you want a copy of the older (epoxy) installation instructions...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Loren,

I am having the same problem. Can I get a copy of these and also what epoxy should I use. I will send a pm also

I am going to do the console delete on my 01 C2. Does anyone know the part number for the trim piece that surrounds the A/C unit when I move it to the upper console?

Item 6 (below)?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yep that is it!!!

Front or rear? (or both?)

A picture would help too...

Ok maybe this will help. Look at this post http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...=2532&hl=shocks

Picture number 2 has a wire in a gromet on the strut. Right below that is my clip

Front or rear? (or both?)

A picture would help too...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Front and it is on the blade in the rear of the strut right below the electrical wire that attaches to the caliper. they both clip onto the same blade. I would send a picture but I zipped tied them back on. Here is my diagram of it

So I put in the B&M SSK and lowered the car this weekend(way to easy) and I broke to little plastic clips that hold the wire away from the strut. This wire goes from one side of the brake caliper to the other. Tried explaining it to my local p-shop but........ anyways it is a really small item but with out the part number I am up the creek. Any help would be greatly appreciated

01 C2 CAB

Forgot to warn you.  Sorry.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well I purchased the whole set up. Chrome bolts, wheel centers with center crest and the special socket to go with it. What the hell it is only money

Forgot to warn you.  Sorry.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Didnt know the price of chrome went up!!! Those chrome bolt covers are looking really nice about now

Have you tried Ralph Boothe?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

ouch!!! those are expensive!!!!

Is there a good place to purchase chrome lug bolts to replace the factory ones?? I just purchased new wheels and am in need of them. This is for an 01

Thanks

First, I recommend that you try and get your dealer to do this under warranty. This was a known problem and most dealers will still replace  the hinge for free. If not, here is a link to the TSB with instructions and part numbers  to repair a broken hinge (about 44k PDF file).

Thanks Loren. And i just had the car in a couple of weeks ago for the coolant bottle. Oh well back it goes!!

So I broke one of the tabs on the back of the glove box/console/armrest. Is there any quick fix (too small a space to try epoxy)or do I need to buy a new one. If I need to buy a new one does anyone know what the part # is???

Thanks

01 C2

I just received my new H&R springs from Gert @ Carnewal. Does anyone have a good DIY guide to the install of these. I know for the rears I need to access the area under the top but for the rest????

Thanks

01 C2 CAB

I definitely fit in a 997 seat/car better.  The steering wheel has much more movement telescopically and does tilt in a 997.

The problem is:  I like the 996 much better.  I'm looking at a 2004 C4S Cab.

Is there a way to lower the seat in a 996?

Could I just buy 997 seats out of a wrecked one someday and would they fit?

I appreciate any help?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Really, I am 6-3 and don't have a problem in my 996. I even have a subwoofer behind my seat in the footwell. You must be a tall SOB

NXT......synthetic polymer protection

Rejex.....synthetic polymer coating

Sounds the same to me.  This has been debated many times over on the rennlist board.  Very similar products (my apologies for the "exact" comment). 

The idea, development, use, results are similar.  I have used both and there is no difference.  I can buy NXT locally, REJEX you need to mail order.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I have been told by a car car specialist that NXT has silicone in it. RejeX has no silicone or teflon in its make up. They are different products in many, many ways.

life use to be soooooo simple.... wash car, dry car, and use Turtle Wax. It even has its own applicator. :jump: :jump:

That is almost funny.

I guess a Cayenne Turbo logo is better than a Boxster logo.

Have you checked the rear of your car. :D

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Don't Laugh I really did. I thought maybe they f'ed up something while changing out the coolant tank and crap. But thankfully my Carrera logo is still there. But now it got me thinking to change my logo from black to color match and even go with a 911 instead of the Carrera

oh that is really nice. Really upscale Porsche dealer. Techs must be highly trained. and the worst part is that my neighbor is the Service Manager. He wasn't home or I would have already dumped the trash in his GT3

just got the car back from service(cracked coolant bottle They also replaced one of the light bulbs in the front. The one i would call the background light when you turn on the lights to parking. ) and i found(or they left)some trash in the car :angry: :angry: :cursing: . One of the bags had a part number on it and i was wondering what was in it?? porsche part 955559038014w9

Since you are a Contributing Member you can see the all the part numbers and install in TSB 3/00 6315 Installing Cup Aerokit (dated 7-21-00).

Thanks Loren

Anyone have the part numbers for the older style skirts that fit an 01 C2 CAB. I want the one that have some flair(?) to them. Also, I have read the post on installing so i guess the OEM ones are the way to go. Any input would be great.

Thanks
