Looks great, I like the black on your base Boxster.

14 FR-7 LDU, but there are a couple of other options shown on the Beru site.

You should be able to fit them straight from the box.

Thanks!

I am considering changing my spark plugs in my MY99 Boxster 2.5. I have heard Beru plugs may be a better choice that Bosch, do you know the proper model # for the Beru plugs? Also, do you know if they have to be gapped or they can be installed out of the box?

Thanks,

Dave

this is what happened when i used a brush-on kit:

and here are the results using Duplicolor (hi-heat) spray paint.

any questions? ;)

I agree with Chris, I just finished replacing my rotors and pads and I painted the calipers while I had everything apart. I used VHT High Temp caliper paint and it worked fine. A lot more prep work but I am happy with the results.

Before:

During:

After:

Painting the hubs will make it look even better. Gray or black just to clean it up.

I have a MY99 and went with black to paint my calipers, I did not want to go red as mine is a base model. I also upgraded the rotors to slotted and grooved.

Thanks Loren

Sorry about that ... 99 2.5L non-S

I am looking for the part numbers for the retaining clip, pin and cotter pin that hold in the brake pads?

Thanks

I just did this today and found that a combination of the rubber plugs and adjustment of the latch module allowed my front trunk to close alot easier.

Also one more note in regards to Viper's excellent write-up. I found the microswitch to be held in by two plastic tabs.

This board is Awesome! Thanks Viper for the excellent write up. I also have a 99 and have had a problem with the hood latch not work as well, after pulling the lever and hearing a very faint pop I had to stick my fingers between the hood and fender to get the hood up. I followed Vipers directions and I not only got the hood latch to work but now the light in the front trunk lights again!
