    Great! Please let me know....if you are able to find one and sell it to me, I don't have to worry about getting the color matched. :)
  2. westladog
    Yup! It's Ocean Blue Metallic....you have the part? :)
  3. westladog
    By the way, is this part number the right or the left side? I'm missing the one on the right side. Thanks! Was there meant to be a photo? Sorry. Here goes.... http://www.photoshop.com/users/westladog/assets/5427b30749bd4499b888ba7b2a2e1787 1999 Boxster The part number is 986 504 862 01 G2X - Cover ® at $31.68 plus tax. Comes painted in primer, sorry no pre-colored options.

    How was it possible to remove this cover without scratching the paint around it? Or was it lost not from a thief but just plain bad luck?
  5. westladog
    Thank you so much! Should I order it from the Porsche dealer or this is something that I can order online? With regards to painting it to match, how should I go about getting it done?

What is it called and what's the part number? I'm so angry at the person who took it.....wtf! http://www.photoshop.com/users/westladog/assets/5427b30749bd4499b888ba7b2a2e1787

    What is ..... 76X14 flute socket for oil cannister. That is a cup-like "socket" which fits over the bottom of the oil filter cartridge canister for removal of the oil filter. Regards, Maurice. Wow! I completed the 60k service today and it took only 4.5 hours. I think 45 minutes of it was getting the car on the jack stands. After 4.5 hours, I was able to replace the spark plugs, change the oil, air filter, and cabin filter. Plus, I didn't have to replace the spark plug tubes because none of them was showing oil. Thanks everyone for giving me the confidence! I've saved like $900! By the way, I was thinking of getting this fluid extractor for between oil changes without changing the oil filter? http://www.harborfreight.com/6-1-4-quarter-gallon-oil-extractor-46149.html I can use this to extract tranny fluid from my other vehicles and also the boat..... What do you guys think?

    Hi,

    Is it even possible to get 93 octane gas in Sacramento?

  12. westladog
    hmmmm :) I live off of Bradshaw and 50. Can I borrow your jackstands and hydraulic jack? :) This is totally going off topic but has anyone figured out an 'easy' way to clean the engine since it's in the middle of everything?

    Thanks! I will take you up on the offer! :) I've orderd the following from Pelicanparts.com last night: - Oil drain plug - oil drain washer - Belt - 2 x sparkplug tube/inner/outer o-ring - oil filter and o-ring - air filter - cabin filter - fuel filter - 6 sparkplugs - Book - 101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster, by Wayne R. Dempsey Frank's Auto in Sacramento quoted $900 for the 60k service so I decided that I should save money and perform this job myself with the help of a book and this forum. Now, I just need to figure out how to put the vehicle on jack stands. :) '99 Boxster Dog: No need to figure it out...Just follow Orient Express' excellent instructions and photos. The instructions are for a 996, but the procedure is exactly the same for Boxsters, here: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php/topic/3404-putting-your-996986997987-up-on-jackstands/ Remember, there is no such thing as being too careful when jacking up your car! Regards, Maurice. She has logged 5k miles since the purchase two months ago while I have logged may be 500 miles total, and I have to perform this work! :censored: And of course I can't get my own Porsche..... :offtopic:

    I'm just ordering all the items for the 60k maintenance service. I'm ordering extra spark plug tubes just in case I need to replace one of them and the site suggested I get the $40 grease for the tube
  17. westladog
    The only thing special about the tube grease is the price and the Porsche label. Any lubricating grease that does not attack rubber or plastic will do just as well, as long as it tolerates the temperatures. Regards, Maurice. Thanks for the response. Can you recommend one? I'm not familiar with electrical grease. Why would you want to lubricate an electrical component?
  18. westladog
    What's so special about the tube grease that warrants the cost of $40? (sorry, i'm new to the porsche world)
  19. westladog
    When is the next WOCD day? :) I just bought a used Boxster and need to replace engine oil. Thanks!
  20. westladog
    I'm between the standard oil changes but I would like to remove just the engine oil out now until my next oil/filter change. Is it okay to use those oil extractor pumps to get at least 8-9 courts out from the filler hole? http://www.tooltopia.com/mityvac-7201.aspx?utm_source=shopzilla&utm_medium=cse&utm_term=MIT7201&utm_campaign=shopzilla_r1
