    I am considering a suspension upgrade to my 2000 Boxster S with 18” rims and less than 20K miles. I feel that the stock struts are a little soft on rebound and give me an uneasy feeling when the car gets un-weighted. If I upgrade to Bilstein HD struts will it improve handling without degrading the ride significantly? I have searched several of the boards without getting an answer. Thanks for your help. Rich in CT

    I put a B&M in my 99. The shift was short and not at all notchy. I also installed Schnell in my 2000 S. The shifting was notchy both before and after the installation. The shorter shifting only seemed to agravate the existing problem. I believe that it is improving with age but I think an adjustment is needed. Rich in CT

    At the TSBL meet we pulled the screens out with long nose plyers. We used a towel to cover the surrounding area. The screen popped out without any problem and did not spray blake fluid around. :D Rich

    I have read that Jeff Kordia is modifying stock Boxster mufflers to improve sound and maybe performance. It's called Tech-EFX I think. Does anyone know how to contact him? Thanks, Rich 2000 S

    Lee, Take a look at www.properautocare.com I just did my '00 S with the line of Menzerna products and I'm very satisfied. My black finish is now near perfect and I can now keep it that way. I did invest in a Porter Cable 7424 polisher which makes the job easy. Good Luck, Rich

    I just changed the lub in my '00 S. I put in a little over 2.5 Quarts of Mobil 1 75-W90. The manual says to fill to within 11 mm of the fill hole with the car level. The Mobil 1 made a noticeable difference in shifting. Much smoother especially 3rd to 4th. :clapping: Rich

    I put an S muffler on my '99 and was very happy with the look and sound. It was just a little deeper in sound and not much louder. I had to buy the upper bracket for the S muffler because the mounting method had been changed over the years. I did the installation myself in about 2 hours without removing the rear bumper. Removing the bumper would have made it easier. Good Luck, Rich

    I installed the PNP speakers and a 6 channel 996 amp. The results are excellent. Much fuller sound and controllable bass. I highly recommend this approach.

    I'm going for my first DE session next month and setting up my '99 Boxster with a Halon extinguisher. I know about the passanger seat bracket but would like to put the extinguisher a little closer while making it completely removable for off track driving. I'm thinking about mounting the standard holder between the seats backs on standoffs. I can then unbolt and push plastic caps in the standoff holes. Has anyone seen or tried this? Thanks, Rich

    OK, I checked the fluid level and it's OK. It happened again...this time the steering wheel seemed stuck after I stopped the car and came free with a little pop at the the front wheels after I played with the steering wheel. Almost like the front tires where stuck on something. ????? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a '99 and had exactly the same thing happen twice. I was making a tight turn with the wheel at the lock, and the steering wheel stuck at that position. When it broke loose the power steering took a while to come back. :drive: Rich in CT

    Use the PNP rear speaker kit available on eBay. They include better speakers than the factory kit and sound very clean. I also upgraded to the 6 channel 996 amp. The results are outstanding!

    I put SilverStars in my '99 and they are very bright and white. Excellent coverage of the road. Rich in CT

    Can anyone confirm that fuel cut-off is accomplished by the computer dropping out the fuel pump relay at a specific engine RPM? Thanks, Rich '99 Black Met./Savannah

    I'm having a problem opening my front hood. I've had this '99 for 8 months and it has always been difficult to open. At first it just required that I get my fingers under the edge. (do not pop up) Now I need two people, one to pull the release and a second to pull up hard. I have adjusted the latch up because the hood seemed to far down below the bumper interface and used a little silicone spray on it with no improvement. Is the cable adjustable? Why doesn't it pop up when released? Thanks, Rich in CT
