    How do I become a contributing member so I can access the TSBs?

    I am just a newbie, but the 987 part number would indicate that it is for the newer generation of Boxster. Not sure if it is going to "fit" your 1997.

    I just spent several months researching used Boxsters and wound up purchasing a 2003 Boxster S with 28k miles. For my purposes it is a third car which I want to occassionally autocross and track. I drove a dozen 986 and 987 cars. I found that the 986 S version was a more spirited driving car than the non-S 987. If the car is going to be a daily driver I would strongly consider the regular 987. If you are using as a third car like me I would suggest the 986S or a 987S if you can afford it. Don't forget to look at the seat backs in the boxster. If it has the sport seats, more likely than not the back of the seat will be all scuffed. I recently saw a 2007 987S with 5k miles where the driver's seat back was all scuffed.

    Was the problem resolved?

    What did you wind up with? I purchased a 2003 Boxster S this past July. When test driving various cars I noticed a big difference between the S and non-S. Non-S is a great daily driver. My Boxster S is a third car that only comes out on nice days for spirited driving. Hope to get it on the track in the Spring.

    Thanks for the reply. I will check the above. Could just be my imagination. If this is the biggest problem I encounter with my car I will be very happy.

    2003 Boxster S 30k miles purchased 1,500 miles ago. Recently the "on center" feel of the steering feels loose or vague. When turning it feels fine. On center it just doesn't feel as tight or responsive as when I purchased the car. I have checked the power steering fluid when cold and the level was OK. I was thinking of checking the level when hot and/or flushing the entires power steering fluid. Could this be a steering rack problem? I had a full PPI done before I purchased the car and I believe they checked the steering rack. I only use the car on nice days and only on weekends. I do drive it pretty hard.
