  1. Was looking at LSD for my 2008 BoxsterS and they did not offer this as a factory option in 08 apparently. I know they offer it in 2009 model. Does anyone think it would work on the 2008 S model?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    You might want to try the Quaife Automatic TBD (Torque Biased Differential). It's a helical gear based differential which doesn't require much attention once it's fitted. Product code is QDF12Q. Actually for the Cayman S model as your car has the same engine and drivetrain.

    Yes I have seen that and is probably what I will do. Will it work with the PASM suspension system?

  2. You mean besides the built-in high-g CD holder some models years have? It can only hold 4 CDs, but does so very nicely.

    I just went and bought an MP3 player with built-in FM transmitter. It plugs right into the cigarette lighter and has a nice little LCD screen- looks great, and works well.

    Does your car have the storage compartment behind seats between rollbar? Or do you have a subwoofer there?

  3. Thanks I had dealer in Denver area do it (Prestige Imports). $1300 for paint and install. Car now has some aspects of Limited edition and the RS-60

    So, that was $1,300 for the rear bumper cover, spoiler, paint and install? Seems like a pretty good deal. Did you or are you planning to do the front splitters too?

    Did Sunset just sell you the aero kit for the rear end?

    Yes it included front rs-60 type aero splitters. Have pix in my registry. Sunset gave great deal. Was only one left in country

    paid $3700 with shipping for aero kit option code is XAL.

  4. COBOXSTER-S, can you post a picture of your car? What did the parts guys at Sunset say? They are great guys, and can maybe help you too.

    Yeah I have to post them tonite after work. Kit looks awesome otherwise. I found a TSB for the sport design package option XAL here on site and there seems to be an adjustable screw on top of rod. Now just have to see if I can screw that rod down the 1/2 inch or if it is already bottomed out.

    Here is a picture of gap

  6. Hi I finally got my aero kit on the 2008 Boxster-S but when I picked it up I noticed a gap between bottom of upper moveable spoiler and fixed duck-tail base. About 1/2 inch. I called shop and they said that was first one they had put on and could not get it to go down any lower. I verified they had top wing pushed all the way down on posts. The kit I had was supposed to have everything you need to make change. It was obviously a factory kit I got through Sunset imports off this site. Anyone know if that wing is adjustable so I can take gap out? Everey picture I have seen of aero kit and the Limited Edition from 2008 (which has same rear system) shows them flush when closed all the way.

    Thanks for any advice.

  7. I bet that is going to look quite nice if you do go forward with it. I was just now looking at an NHP version which appears similar in nature from Maxspeed Motorsports...little less $. Please do post some pics once installed. Any plans for your stock S tip?

    I will probably sell stock tip if I can. I will post pix on my registry. I am trying to combine highlights of both the RS-60 and the Limited Edition in 1 car.

  8. Try checking cost on "minor" maintenance on say a Ferrari! But he is partly right If you see what they do and divide their time into it I would bet it is way higher than their usual "labor rate". That is how I would do it with them. I would see what the interval involves and just ask them to do them ala carte at their usual labor rate and see if it comes out cheaper.

    If car is under warranty better to let the dealer do it. I aggre though I think the guys were just trying to be funny take it for what it is.
