    I'm installing the glass window top from EZontops, on my 99 boxster. So far so good except I can't get the front part of the cloth to stick under the header bow. Has anyone done this, or have any idea what type of glue to use?
  2. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Thank you, for your help. How much are you asking on your top, and what color is it?
  3. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    I need a new top, my plastic window broke in the cold. I want to upgrade to a glass window, and have read a few people like the GAHH top for our models. GAHH has their top listed for $900.00 but I have seen them on ebay new for $600.00, and I was wondering if anyone has bought a top from ebay, and if so what their experience was. Thanks 99 Boxster non S

    My AOS (air oil separator) is extremely dirty once again after only a few months after replacing it. Also my rough idle is back. This had been resolved when i replased the AOS originally, indicating that it the AOS once again. The car is a 99 Boxster with a 3.4 996 conversion engine. I believe the AOS was from a boxster and replace with a boxster AOS. Are these parts interchangeable ? Could that be my problem? What else could cause the AOS to get extremely dirty? Thank you for your help. 99 Boxster 5 spd 3.4 996 conversion

    Just spoke to Porsche, looks like it's coming from Germany. Thanks everyone. I will consider the plywood. hehe

    I think I just found it, however I am concerned about ordering the wrong part again. Can anyone confirm it to be part # 99610621500 ?
  7. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Well, my car is extremely low. The reason this is relevant is because I hit a protruding man hole cover and broke an elbow like structure which attaches to one of my coolant hoses underneath the car on the drivers side. All that was left when I looked under was a hanging hose, pieces of the part and the gasket and bolts. It looks alot like the thermostat housing and therefore I bought the assembly only to discover that it didn't fit. I'm attaching a picture to this msg. If anyone could help me identify the part I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks everyone. Car is: 1999 Porsche Boxster non S with a 3.4 996 Engine conversion 5spd Manual

    Sorry about that, I just wasn't sure if I should post it in the main 986 page so that more people would see my question. The car is a 99 Porsche Bosxter non s, with a 3.4 conversion. Thanks
  9. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Does anyone know the part number to the hose that attaches to the Thermostat Housing on a 986?
  10. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Thanks Bill I appreciate the info. I was thinking the same thing. To add to the sports clutch and lightened flywheel theory I had the clutch as you put it is uncomfortable, it's either engaged or not, impossible to drive smoothly. I'll be looking out for a stock assembly. Anyone have any suggestions as for where to shop for one? Also what should labor on that be?
  11. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    I have 3.4 conversion on my 986. The conversion was done by the previous owner. Aside from the engine he did many other other upgrades ie hid kit hr coilovers etc....Among these upgrades was what I was told to be a lightened flywheel and sports clutch. My question is: if this is the case how can I tell ? I was told that lightened fly wheels make an oscillating rasping noise when the clutch is not engaged and the car is in neutral, which my car does. Also I believe my clutch is starting to give out because it slips but only under heavy load. Under normal driving it engages fine. Is that common? My last question is, if I indeed have a lightened flywheel, do I need a special clutch, also am i shopping for a 911 clutch or a boxster clutch?

    Where exactly does the resistor go? Anyone have a write up on this?
  13. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    What are some of the Air/fuel ratio meter's you guys have used. I am looking for one that doesn't rely on the stock O2 sensor. Maybe something that comes with it's own sensor, as I don't trust mine to function properly. Thanks
  14. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Welcome ! I think you will find the people here very friendly and helpful at least I have. Thanks everyone. :renntech:
  15. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Thanks Todd. So what should I be looking for as an indicator that I have the correct throttle body?
  16. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Do you have a sound system? I have a fuse on my grounding cable and when that burns out all sorts od funny electrical stuff starts to happen. Check all the fuses you can find. My suggestion anyway.
  17. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    I have a 3.4 converted Boxster, and i recently measured the throttle body as I was cleaning it. It's my understanding that the 3.4 should have a 3.5" diameter intake and throttle body. Does this look right to you guys for a 996 3.4 motor? Thanks Everyone

    does your hand brake light come on ?
  19. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Sounds like a cracked tank to me, and yes I'm pretty sure that loose hose is a the overflow hose. I'm sure you have heard this before but you may have a hairline crack in your res. tank. Does it leak even when it's cold or only after or during a drive?
  20. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Yes I have used Toluene and Xylene but not on the Porsche. I have been doing the race fuel mixture for racing only. When i did use toluene it was on an SRT-4. Felt good and had no adverse effects. Then again it wasn't a Porsche. Has anyone tried Xylene or Toluene on a Porsche?
  21. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Bill, Thanks again for the excellent response I think i might be sold on the resistor solution combined with the AEM meter since all the other options seem to be much less cost effective for possibly little advantage. Do you know if anyone has a write up on it ? Again thank you for your help.
  22. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Bill, Yes I have read that thread. I read it shortly after Todd told me about the MAF housing and so i did a search on the subject and came across your conversation. I like the air/fuel meter idea but i really want to avoid the resistor method if possible because I would like to get in the amount of air that the engine was designed to receive. I will definitely look onto that air/fuel meter. What are the advantages over the one you mentioned vs others? Thanks for your help everyone.
  23. Porsche_Monkey_4life
    Hello everyone, I have a Boxster with a MY 99 996 3.4 engine conversion. Any way Todd helped me discover why my car has always run rich, which was due to the use of the stock Boxster air intake system that uses a 3 inch diameter MAF housing vs the 3.5 inch used for the 996. Anyhow, I have looked at some possible solutions but am open to any suggestions. Does anyone know what the diameter of the Cayman S and 987 Mass Air Flow housing is? I think this might be my best option. Thanks for your help. :renntech:

    Try parking it with the nose facing down hill and see if you don't see what sounds to me like the wrong type of coolant leaking from the radiator located on the corner you hit the curb. I once ran over something possibly furry and most likely hard that damaged my radiator. However when I parked slightly up hill I saw orange coolant leaking from the back of the car near my rear passenger tire. Upon closer inspection I discovered it to be the drivers side radiator that had bee damaged and I believe was causing an overflow in the res. tank. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Still learning. :renntech:

    I was wondering if anyone knows the inner diameter of the Mass Air Flow sensor housing in the Cayman S. I have a 986 with a 3.4 996 engine and I need a 3.5 inch mass air flow sensor housing to get my car running properly. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks :renntech:
