    Am I seeing this right?? or is my browser being hijacked?

    CJ- I'm only gonna say this once in this forum...as many people in the other Boxster forums have warned you about messing with these cars. STOP!!! You were warned about the "mods" you've been doing to this car and now your having troubles. Coincidence?!?!?! I think not. These cars are picky and most people who have done mods to these cars end up spending a considerable amount of money to correct their mistakes. OK---done ranting. Sorry...

    Check your drainage holes around the top. There are several if you open your top halfway and look around the bottom of the top. They may have gotten clogged and the water can only go into the car. BTW- If I remember correctly...the computer is under the seats! Dry it up quick...cause your talking thousands to replace this piece!

    Insite- I know nothing about how the handbrake works...but it can't be very complicated. I like to tinker though...so maybe this weekend I'll get under the car and take a look so we can figure this out!

    When I release the handbrake after the car sat sits for the night a loud "popping" noise can be heard. Like the brake rusted and is snapping free. While driving my car I can pull up on the handbrake lightly and a very noticeable, yet softer, pop/thud noise is always heard. Suggestions? 2000S, Manual Tran

    All services can be done yourself...very easy to do. Just make sure you have basic hand tools and as much info with you as to what you are planning to do. Get the Bentley book or print out "how to" info from this site and others. Working on this "exotic" Porsche has been easier than working on my Vettes' and Z-28s' from the late '90s. The only thing you can't "professionally" do is look over the car for common problems as a competant Porsche Master Tech can. But if the car feels right...you won't have any problems and you will save yourself thousands in costs and learn A LOT about the car! Good Luck!

    Thank you!! I love the turbo body and I'll soon be looking for the C4S then!!
  8. xclusivecar
    Let me ask this differently...Between 2002 and 2004, is the turbo style body only on the C4S or both the C4 and C4S? Also...the engine remains the same for both vehicles for these years, right? So what are the differences? The brakes? The suspension?
  9. xclusivecar
    I currently own a 2000 Boxster S and am looking to move to the Carrera soon. Preferably a C4 or C4S Model. I absolutely love the turbo style body. The flared rear looks great and the front bumper cover and headlights look wonderful. From what I have seen these changes were made in the 2002 model year. Is this correct? What are the differences between the C4 and C4S Coupes between 2002 and 2004 (Prior to the 997)? Same engines? Same bodies? There don't seem to be many C4 Coupes for sale. Lots of C4S cars though. Thanks for the help!!!!

    Same problem last winter. Replaced the radiator cap to the new .01 part numbered cap and all was well. No problems since.

    Chances are these cars were garage queens. Many Porsche owners do not drive their cars daily. To most, these are fun weekend type cars. Do a used car search of a Boxster and you will find tons of cars with very low mileage. Good luck and remember, they are certified. This would be a total "GO" if it was me on either car.

    Mine just popped out-fairly easily...but...it did seem pretty flimsy so take it slow.
  13. xclusivecar
    Nope...Still sealed! This fluid should be good 2 years from now in a sealed/never opened container, correct? MNboxster-great info! Thanks!

    I did this to my car and love it! The sound is great and if there is a power loss it is absolutely minimal. I also removed the foam from the air filter itself and this increased the sound a bit more. Pics here: http://www.xclusivecar.com/Porsche_Boxster...Snorkel_Mod.htm

    Thanks! Getting the bleeder off w/o making a mess was a bit difficult but doable. Now i'll have an extra liter for the future since I only used the one! :cheers:
