Steve, I'm pretty sure that I loaded some drawings with deminsions on the renn tech site. The ramps work great for me becasue I have a slope in my yard next to the guarage so I can back the 986 onto the ramps for oil changes also, because then the car is perfectly level. If you can't find the drawings get back to me and I'll send deminsions and photos.. just added a 997 74 mm thrott...

Need A new Top, ebay safe?
01986320S replied to Porsche_Monkey_4life's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Have you considered installing a used glass windowed top and frame from an '03 or '04 Boxster? It's much easier than stripping off the old top and installing the new canvas top from GAHH and there are a couple of other advantages over the GAHH or Robbins top as well. I've done both (stripping and replacing canvas and installing a complete top and frame) and there is no comparison. That said, the advantage of not having to get out to do "the chop" or to worry about the plastic cracking is very satisfying, whichever glass version you go with. Here is a DIY that's got lots of information on the advantages/disadvantages of the various options available: http://sites.google.com/site/mikefocke2/in...ndframeona%2797 Good luck! Regards, Maurice. Hello, I'm selling a like new OEM 01 top and OEM 01 frame on E-bay right now as a unit, just bolt it in with three bolts on each side. Also has the window protection cover sheet. Back window and head liner are MINT condition, car was mostly in storage. I also have other parts to llist from this car. -
If your year 986 Boxster came with a plastic window and has a three bow frame, you cannot substitute glass for the original vinyl. The cutout for the vinyl window is too large for the rear section of the top to fold safely and for the glass to clear the roll bars at their rear surface, and the glass would crack. The optimum solution is replacing the entire frame and canvas with a used OEM '03 or '04 top. http://sites.google.com/site/mikefocke2/in...ndframeona%2797 Regards, Maurice. thank you very much. It was very helpfull and quick. Hello, I'm selling a like new black 2001 986 top and frame on e-bay now.. bidding starts at 550.00 or make an offer... includes the window protector sheet. Also have 2001 top motor and top trans that I will be listing if you or any one else is interested.

Seams like a quality product, I can send a photo if you want to see one installed. I used to have a slight shudder on rail road track crossings etc, it cleared that up, and the car seems tighter in drift type cornering. hope this helps.

Rear Speaker Kit Wiring Questions
01986320S replied to spg356's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Sebastian, The Becker web site has the connection instructions and wire digram, also the same information is in the Porsche radio instruction BOOK in English on page 28... Becker also sells the plugs and even the individual wire connectors for Gale settings (etc) is you want your system to be car speed - volume sensitive, a nice feature with the top down (socket A on radio Pin #1) Harry . -
Cluster PN# check
01986320S replied to Mother's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Hello, I did 996 into 986 cluster swap after reading the article Bill Posted on this site. Since I have completed my project more information has been added. Everything you need to know and do is in the article Bill posted. If you have any specific questions I may be ble to help some but my car is a 2001 and there are some differences with model specs and features (We did get everything to work even the factory on board computer and factory cruse control) Hats off to Bill and Loren.... -
Four 2001 986 S wiring questions...
01986320S replied to 01986320S's topic in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thank you very much, especially the connection under drivers seat info, also I uninstalled the DPS a few years ago, so that connection is right behind the unit and empty now. You really saved me some time! Make it a great day! -
Four 2001 986 S wiring questions...
01986320S replied to 01986320S's topic in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Hello Loren, Thanks for the reply and that is a good question. I was looking for a way to have the chrono option in a 986 (see photo) I found a Coralba C-rally computer that had two clocks that worked at the same time (each can be set to count up or down). Any way I also got some features that I really did not need, but rather than have three wire leads wrapped up behind the unit I thought I would see if I could hook them up also. The anolog fuel wire, the speed sensor wire (for speed and distance) and the back up light wire (which will make the trip meters run backwards when the car is in reverse) Like I said I really don't need these features. If some one is interested I have photos and could write an article, or at least if I get it hooked up I can let the passenge play with it while I drive. The two red switches (left/power & right/ resets any computer function that is presently displayed. Thanks for any help...

I hope someone can help me out with four questions that I have about 2001 986 S wiring. 1. Can someone confirm that the fuel gauge sending unit is sending an ANALOG not Digital signal? (I don't have access to an oscilloscope) 2. Where would be the best place to tap onto the fuel gauge sending unit wire? (My first guess is behind the gauge cluster but have not traced out which pin or wire color yet) anyone have a better location? 3. I would like to tap onto the reverse light wire (backup lights) with out going back to the transmission reverse switch if possible to get an energized siganal when the back up lights come on. Anyone know of a better location under the dash? (wire location and wire color?) 4. I need to tap onto the Speed sensor line. I know some people have used Pin 18 on the cabrio relay to send speed sensor info to Becker Radios that are not getting sensor signals to activate GAL settings Any better locations for doing this? Would behind the gauge cluster be a better place? pin and color? Thanks in advance for any help,

Yet Another Way to Add a Homelink Device

Thanks for the info, I mounted my targa shade switch on the bat wing (see photo)

What unit did you choose? I'm considering using the lower storage/cubby, that way the unit is out of sight when not in use, slide/pull out and fold up or down for use... have to pick a unit first, most units should fit, and the cable would go out the back of the storage unit...

Here are some photos of the ramps I made to help install Fab Speed headers and exhaust, the only reason I'm add in my 2 cents worth is your ramp design looks a little heavy to move around to store!
