I have attached the picture of the door sill. 

The part number is 986-551-303-00-A03.

The list price for each is $57.48, but if you get it from Sunset it will cost you $35.64.  I thought they didn't look too bad for 36 bucks.  Anyways, good luck.

what a pity! No "boxster" inscription only!

I have an '03 Boxster, and it looked like the only thing that was missing from the car were the door sills, or door-entry guards, etc.  I found that the stainless steel guards made by Porsche were pretty expensive, and the carbon fiber even more.  I am assuming that you already know that.  I however, found a cheaper alternative.  Porsche sells door sills for the Boxter S that are much cheaper than the stainless steel and carbon fiber.  They are black and made of heavy duty plastic, and they sell for approx. $60.00 each at Sunset.  If you don't mind the door guard saying 'Boxster S'  this is an alternate.  This is the way I went and they look good.  If you want I can post a pic.  Good luck!    :jump:

If it is the old style wheel center cap with the colored crest then you are missing the last 3 digits of the part number which is 9A1.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

My center cap is 993.361.303.09

Which difference between 993.361.303.09 and 933 361 303 10 9A1 ???

Regards.

933 361 303 10.

Do you have?

I would like to install door entry guard, There are two kinds: stainless steel or carbon. Help me to choose.

Pics would be welcome. :thumbup:

Boxster, Artic Silver. Interior: Nephrite Green, Black floor mats.

Happy polling!

When you say "recommended by Porsche" can you expand on this?  5 mm for all four wheels?  And is this a cosmetic change they are recommending or a performance change?

....Read below

I am going to install 6mm spacers in my Boxster MY99 (manual transmission) with SportClassic II wheels

Front: 7,5 J x 18 ET 50

Rear: 9 J x 18 ET 52

Two questions:

1. Recommended by Porsche is 5mm...... Can I try 6mm? no problem?

2. Will I need longer bolts or just standard bolts?

:help: :help: :help:

Regards.

Like this.

Anti-theft above crest cap,

below crest cap pointing to valve stem.

correct???

Thanks!! :cheers:

While the cap 2 does have a cleaner look, I still prefer the first one.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What is the correct position for cap and anti-theft bolts? Toolpants told me it wasn´t correct!...

Tell me something.... differences??? i have to purchase it briefly.

Big differences in the engine specs.  The '01 has a 2.7 and the '99 has a 2.5.  Don't know about interior or option differences.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Uhm... most important is interior and option differences.

It's expensive but how about this...

thanks, but I need in Spanish.

Any difference MY99-MY01 ??????????????

At last I found a owner manual in a Porsche Centre, but it is MY01, my boxster is MY99....... Any difference? Shall I buy?

Regards.

93 Octane? In Aussie, the stock specification is 96 Octane or above. And so we all use 98 Octane since the next grade down is 95 here.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

93 octane? are you sure? porsche recommends 98 octane and in case of emergency 95 minimum!!! :huh:

More please..

It doesn't sound like you should worry about spacers. If you have the stock 7.5, 9" wide wheels with the stock 225, 265mm tires, the wheels will fit fine. The handling improvement from spacers would be *very* small. Unless you are trying to make the tires look more aggressive in the wheel wells, skip the spacers.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

5mm spacers dont cause very difference?... why Porsche recommends it?

No need to remove the wheels to check. Just look between the spokes where the wheel attaches to the hub/brake rotor. Without a spacer, the wheel will mount flush to the "hat" in the middle of the brake rotor.  If there is a 5mm spacer, you will see the thin disc (less than 1/4") between the wheel and the rotor hat.

Porsche put 5mm spacers on the 550 special edition Boxsters. If you don't have one of those, you are not likely to have the spacers on the car. The increased track width may provide a very marginal improvement in handling. A lot of folks like to use larger spacers to improve the appearance by making the wheels flush with the fenders. Popular sizes are 14mm in the rear and 7mm in front.

If you add spacers, make sure you use longer bolts. The Porsche 5mm spacer kit comes with longer bolts which are distinguished by red sleeves at the top of the shaft.

My wheels are sportclassic2 18" with that throat and et. Shall I buy spacers? I am not sure..

Today I have been watching porsche web and I have seen:

BOXSTER

For wheels 18"

7.5J x 18 (50)

9J x 18 (52)

"Recommended fitment of Porsche Tequipment spacers:

5-mm spacers on all four wheels."

Two questions:

1. How I can know if my car has spacers? (don´t tell me removing wheels) :P

2. Why Porsche recommends it? Much difference? is it worth to spend money in spacers?

Regards.

I am not sure if my 986 is better with original center cap (cap1) or 987, cayenne cap (cap2)

Which do you prefer?

Did you have a flat tire on the passenger rear

after the accident? Your pictures don't show that

tire.

  I check my tires regularly and went out the

other day for a drive. I got a flat on my passenger

rear tire and couldn't feel it. I was on surface

streets (30mph or less) and was told by a car

next to me at a stop light, that I had a flat. I

was glad I wasn't on the freeway. Oh, I also

have 18 inch tires.

  Have you tried to drive by the spot where

it happened, to see if there is anything that

might explain the acident?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, I had not any flat. The only thing I suppose is the wearing down but tires have 13.000km. I dont know if central wearing down rear wheels is normal or not. Some peple told me its normal cause boxster has rear traction.

I would like to know if there is to replace this kind of muffler for wearing down. I think it´s not necessary cause it`s made steel,.... but I am not sure.

Muffler has been running for 54.000kms

boxster 2.5 MY99, manual transmission.

Regards.

Here you have pics after fixed!! :jump:

I will delete first pics where broken.... :)

If you're worried about your springs, check your ride height.  74K kms doesn't seem that high. 

I would suspect alignment before suspension.  Alignment is something you need to check on a regular basis--especially if you intend to drive your car hard.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Today I have tested suspension efficiency with test machine:

results:

front

left: 59%

right: 57%

rear

left:57%

right: 52%

Is it Ok? what do you think...?

Now I know how to remove headlights but I am not sure if I should remove amber lights....

would you do it?

Regards.
