    The old ones are damaged, the one in the pic i managed to straighten out so i could compare it to the new ones i had just received. The other one is not usuable! Jasmine Porscha said the same, he thought the springs where the same between models but he said on the carrera they have longer springs so hoping that they would match?

    Looks like i've got the wrong spring!! (sorry for the poor quality!) The 2 springs i have been sent are about 10mm shorter than the old one!! No wonder i was struggling to fit! Doesnt the rear brake shoes on the boxtser s use the same size springs (longer) and bits as the 996?
  3. chillo
    Thanks, thats p140 of the tech info link, i used it to order the springs which had moved or dropped out of place as a result of my removing the stock wheels to fit the 18" carrera wheels. What im not sure is how they fit in place? Are they awkward to fit? thanks!

    Thought i'd best start a new topic (see18x10" wheel thread) I'm after some help! Does anyone know the correct set-up/installation procedure for putting the hand brake shoes and tensioner springs together? I dont have a manual and i'm not 100% how it all goes together! I've got the tensioner springs (number 6 on p140 of the pdf) techinfo.porsche Help!

    I have removed the hand brake shoe so i can use the car this weekend until i get a new tension spring. Will just have to leave it in gear when parking!

    UPDATE! Put the standard wheels back on and there is still a scraping noise! but only from l/h side as with the 18" wheels! argh!! Take the l/h side rear wheel off and i cant see anything catching? Take caliper off, remove the disk and some pieces of spring fall out! (2 springs) I'm assuming they are from the handbrake assembly??? here is a pic: what are they for? Can i disable the handbrake on one side until i get some new springs depending on if they are needed?? The 18mm spacers i have are from Jasmine too! pic with the wheels fitted! So it would appear the wheels do fit with 18mm spacers!! ps sorry for the thread hijack!
  7. chillo
    nope. as your wheel bearings get old, there will be some play in the hub. you will damage the strut when you hit bumps, etc. get the right spacers. Sorry, ignore my last post! serious brainfart there! :)

    Just had a look under the arches and the handbrake cable was touching on both sides, pushed them out of the way and it seems to be ok on the r/h side but on the l/h side the actual wheel is only just scraping the shock. Should i just run it and the scraping might clear after it has rubbed for a few miles? (i'm talking hair width that is touching)
  9. chillo
    You are correct!! With the wheels i just got where a set of 18mm spacers, put the wheels on tonight and they rub the strut!! Going to see if i can get some 21mm spacers tomorrow!!
  10. chillo
    Do you have any pics? thanks!
  11. chillo
    Its an 03my 'S' I'm assuming that the 36mm figure is before the spacers, i just entered the stock size (8.5j et48/50) and the 18's size (10j et65) into the calculator and thats what it says. I paid £530 for the 4 wheels/tires +spacers/bolts so i thought its worth a punt! will post piccies, here is stock: will try the wheels sometime this week.

    Just got a set of OEM Carrera 5 spokes with reasonable tires which i could not ignore at a great price, No coloured centres though, but cant complain. 8j50et 225x40x18 front 10j65et 285x30x18 rear I have a set of 18mm spacers which came with the wheels, the calculator does say there is 36mm LESS inner clearance? will probably put a couple of new tires on before i fit, not sure if i will need a set of spacers for the front?? 5mm?? anyone used these sizes?! any problems? tramlining? rubbing? Can i use the coloured centres from the standard boxsterII 17" wheels?
  13. chillo
    I'm looking at some Carrera 5 spokes: 10jx18 h2 et65 alloy wheels , with 265/35zr18 tyres for a 03my boxster S! Will they fit ok or will i need spacers! not really sure about suitable sizes safe to use etc! (these wheels are originally from a 996)

    Hi All, First week of ownership with a facelift 03my (manual)boxster, its my gf daily drive and weekend fun for us both. Always see her off in the morning, watched her start it again this morning and noticed some blue smoke on start up! first time i've seen it all week! Is it something to be concerned about? Car has full PSH and has done 55k, runs sweet as etc! Bit worried! (no warranty!)

    i want to upgrade the standard speakers in my 04 996C2 but just want to use the factory locations i.e. something that will just bolt straight in! any suggestions? :huh:
