  1. If it is the Rear Main Seal (RMS) it is not fatal, but is not cheap to repair. If I'd had the car for a long time, I would not worry too much about a drop or two. But for a "new" car it is something that should be checked out before money and papers change hands. IMO.

  2. I've switched to the wave from the flash 'cuz I read the current lighting doesn't like brief on state. Also wasn't getting many responses. Not many waves either. Female Box driver just recently blew me off as I pulled from my driveway onto NC 50.

    I also wave or thumbs up old cars like that MGA a coupla days ago. They get it. 914-4 owners even buy kits to flash their fogs.

    I think putting the word out on this old tradition is a great idea.

  3. The biggest difference to me was color. I did not want silver. Even Special Anniversary Carrera Silver. Maybe, MAYBE if light gray interior had been an option. The cocoa is interesting, but the "gray" alternative looks like black to me. Side by side with the black car I wanted, either color combo left me cold.

    The package was a good deal cost wise, but the performance difference is negligible. Apparently the slight performance gain was from using 987 intake.

    Either car will be fun. I went Boxster S and love it. You can go either way and you will not go wrong!

  4. 1. I use a 10 quart plastic catch pan. Get the really thin one if you are going to leave car on ground. Advance Auto or AutoZone should have containers. Mannie, Moe & Jack in your neck o' the woods.

    2. The pan I use has a large drain area with a plug in the middle. After draining oil into pan, pull pan. Plug back in and go to recycle center. Then remove plug on pouring nozzle at the top and dump.

    3. Wally World around here. Plus they have it in 5 qt containers.

  5. I really don't think installing a used top is a good idea. Material isn't that expensive so I'd go with a new GAHH's top. I think there is a how to on this on this board... Sorry but I don't have a link to it. Maybe you can do some searching...

    I agree. The aftermarket tops probably require professional install because they do not come with the metal side strips. If you are good with tools you could probably install a factory top.

  6. The light in the speedometer of my '71 911T has burned out. When I remove the speedometer housing from the dashboard, I don't see any obvious place for a light bulb. Any help on how I replace this?

    The light is a round shaped connector that fits into a cylinder hole in the back of the speedo. A wire runs directly into it. Just pull the lip outward with your fingernails. Bulb is inside the cylinder you pull out. Best I remember there are two of them.

  7. I don't know about the gotchas as much as the wantas.

    Ya wanta glass rear window go 03. The rest are personal prefs. I had to have heated seats, cruise control, and Carrera lites. If the right car is missing something easy to add, add it after you buy it. Electric adjustable seats are hard to add. A hardtop is easy.

    The more cars you look at (on-line or in person) the better you'll know which options are critical.

    Other than that the standard advice is to buy the best quality car you can afford. And enjoy the hunt!

  8. Hi I have a 2000 C2 fitted with the CDR-32 radio. Unfortunatly it didn't come with the instruction booklet for the radio. Has anyone got it in PDF format that I can be sent? Cheers for your help!

    I don't know of that model. The Becker North America site has some and promises more.

    I guess you'll just have to check periodically. Go to What's New and scroll down a bit.

    After thought - Got to Becker Board and post. Someone might be able to help.
