I know this has been covered in the past but I want to make sure I get my facts straight. I bought my sideskirts used and had them painted. Near the top edge of the sideskirt is a long strip of double sided tape. Can I use this tape instead of epoxying the skirt to the car. I also don't see how the skirt fits into the retaining strip that has to be screwed(probably going to use double sided tape) to the rocker panel? The skirts dont seem to have a channel that would fit into the retaining strip. Is there two versions of this areokit I side skirt? So can I just use the double sided tape up top or will that not be enough to hold the skirts on? The bottom just has clips and a screw at each end. I just don't think I am commited to drilling a hole in the side of the car. I also dont have the templates for lining up the retaining strip.

Problem fixed! Sure enough, the plug had completely galled about 1/16" on the first thread. I am using the Beru plugs on my 01 boxster, as that is what Pelican parts claims is OEM. However, the old plugs I took out were indeed Bosch, so I guess Pelican is incorrect. The Beru plugs have stainless steel threads as opposed to the stronger and less-galling copper or brass threads of the Bosch plugs. The key here is, you need to use Never-Seize on the Beru plugs to make sure that you don't gall the internal threading in the engine, cause then you have a BIG BIG problem like I did today. Also, do not even think about using a wrench to tighten the plugs until the very last turn. The plug must go in by hand, but if for some reason it should not then you have to go to Plan B.

Porsche uses Beru and Bosch as their original equipment supplier for spark plugs. When I did mine last year i had four bosch plugs and two beru on my car. Pelican parts is correct with the beru plugs but I prefer the bosch ones.

I've been taking the battery out of mine for the past two years during storage without any problems. My brother works at a porsche dealership and warned me about disconnecting the battery. He said it can set off the traction control, psm, or other lights. My car is a bone stock 2000 C2 so I don't have anything fancy like traction control or psm. I have a battery charger that hooks directly to the battery and I have the porsche charger that goes to the cigarrete lighter but I still prefer to remove the battery so I don't have to run a cable across the paint of the car.
