    It would be nice to inspect the SD and see if format is already a known used setup from another car (i.e. updated audi maps can be used in a ferrari)
  2. 987_RDC
    Did your car also come with BOSE?
  3. 987_RDC
    The 3.2L (2005 & 2006 Boxster S only) can have the IMS issue so the 2.7L is more reliable in that matter.
  4. 987_RDC
    Hrm, I see. Well if anyone wants to buy my PIWIS to code their car themselves that is an option.
  5. 987_RDC
    Any dealership with a PIWIS can disable the throax airbag. Are they saying they refuse to or that they do not know how?
  6. 987_RDC
    Original DME and immobilizer or did you swap those from the other engine?
  7. 987_RDC
    There isn't a piggie back system that works for VarioCam Plus. Someone had something that "may" have worked for VarioCam since more-or-less a RPM activated switch. If earlier 986 then you need to swap over the ECU to later ver. Thus CAN bus stuff has to come along with it. (Cluster, HVAC console) Then depending on year of your Boxster you have way more fun with maybe needing ABS parts and possible egas pedal etc etc etc. Looks like 03+ is the best car to swap 3.6L into: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/11-ENGINE-911_Engine_Swap/11-ENGINE-911_Engine_Swap.htm

    Perhaps replace the sensors that supplies the signal to the instrument cluster? That or issue a "reprogram" of the cluster from inside the PIWIS, you just need to have all the car details.

    Sent PM, I have a 996TT wing pump for sale.
  10. 987_RDC
    If anyone is interested, I just spotted one of these kits attached to a 996 3.4L on eBay. Could be a nice setup for 986.
  11. 987_RDC
    I think that is normal for stock rear to not have the "spring". I remember putting the stock "spring" around the stainless lines I bought but none on the rear. Perhaps they updated the part for rears?
  12. 987_RDC
    There is a metal wire that is behind the tail light you can use to pop the trunk.
  13. 987_RDC
    What is the latest USA maps?
  14. 987_RDC
    You can find articles that outline how to disable the TPMS.
  15. 987_RDC
    Whatever is in sunscreen seems to greatly accelerate the wear. So couple that with hot car and they turn to crap. Just replace them.
  16. 987_RDC
    At leats in the 996, the final microswitch is often in the latch assembly. There is a piece of plastic that goes onto the hook that sometimes falls off. If your roof is latched then perhaps it is in the clamshell where a microswitch is triggered at the end of the clamshell travel. That is performed by a metal "foot" coming out and pressing the switch. Search my previous posts about clamshell. Hope it is similar.

    Hey let me know if you need access to w PIWIS to resolve. Good job on the rebuild.
  18. 987_RDC
    For some reason 19" pops in my mind. Make sure you support the engine when removing the trans. I had a hell of a time lining mine back up and had to loosen engine mounts.
  19. 987_RDC
    Likely replacing the heavy exhaust with something lighter and free flowing. Intake is just for sound. Shed weight.
  20. 987_RDC
    Ah sorry I thought you had base CD radio, not PCM.
  21. 987_RDC
    The phone/CD changer plug in the back on the radio is pretty straight forward. I would think either ignition switch needs replacement (causes electrical gremlins) or swap out the radio with one from eBay. (can get coding from this forum)
  22. 987_RDC
    PM me for stuff that a dura might not fix.
  23. 987_RDC
    Bet you can find a replacement cheap on eBay.
  24. 987_RDC
    Any thoughts on testing voltage to the "door closed" pin which I think is somewhere in the 4-5-6 Not used of Plug 5? Not much out there in other forums.
  25. 987_RDC
    Whaaaa, most Pontiac folks flush their coolant to get away from DexCool
