reset per the manual BUT after opening either window it will come right back up rather than staying down untill door shut. 03-carrera coupe.

Any suggestions?

I smaked the passanger side outside mirror cracking the "housing" and broke the mirror!~ Purchased a used unit from a dismanteler, how do I remove/install?

I have seen a few posts on after market GPS systems and thought I would give folks an option that does not require any installation. I purchased a Magellan 4050 from Costo for $499. This GPS includes birds-eye view, bluetooth and voice recognition. Utlizing the cup holder in my 996, a 2 inch diameter piece of PVC with inset cap and heavy duty velcro I was able to create a portable and easy to read solution that doesn't require mounting on the windshield. Both the GPS and PVC holder fit in the center console. See attached picture for the end result.

Nice install BUT does'nt the GPS unit need to be pointed stright ahead? If at an angle it would assume your pointed in a different direction.

My new to me 02-c2 coupe with 8K miles has developed some small oil drips on the garage floor, dead center rear, usually only happens after a 100 mile trip and not around town driving.

Could this be an RMS issue?

I wouldn't think an 8K miles car would do this but maybe milage has nothing to do about it!

A friend is looking to get a 2002 Carrera Coupe, it has the updated Gauge cluster, but still a CDR-220 not a CDR-23. Will the CDR-23 work on a 2002?

Thanks

My Boxster would run at 185 on the temp gauge. Now have an 03 C2 and the gauge is between the 185 line and the next line So I'd say it's around 195. Not sure if this too hot or not, the coolant is at min. after a drive so that may be the case of being hot and needs to be topped off. After shutting down the smell frm the engine smells a little like it does when the radiator has over heated. Any thoughs are appreciated!

Anyone?

Thanks

Overall, seems like a plus to me. New motor has no wear. Latest RMS.

It would be nice to know why the motor was replaced. If it was an RMS fix, then no reason not to buy. If it was because the original owner abused the car (e.g. never changed the oil, downshift overrev, drove through high water), that would be a problem as to the condition of the rest of the drivetrain and the car.

I'm told from the dealer new motor because of "poorly milled chain tower" which I have no clue as to what that is?

A good relationship with a dealer service manager can yield this:

11/08/05 - battery replacement

10/20/05 - engine replacement

4/6/04 - throttle body replacement

8/1/03 - remote replacement

2/19/03 - backrest lever adjustment

Now, this is an 02-cab "fair" price, 25K miles. Would you buy with a new motor or shy away?!

Just informational ? More 911 coupes or cabs

Has anyone succesffull upgraded an 03 car to Litronics?

I've read all the posts and it would seem that new harnesses are needed on both sides of the car - possibly not that big a deal...

Would love first hand feedback and part numbers if you have them...

I also mailed Eli at Pelican and Gert. If I get anything back I'll post for all to see.

I'd like to do this over xmas.

I recently traded my 03-S Boxster which had Xenons for an 02-911 with no xenon, part of the deal was to upgrade the 911 to litronics for 1K

The only difference is the upgrade kit is NOT self leveling like the factory installed xenons on the box.

I have recently purchased a black 1999 Carrera. The paint is in great shape except on the bumpers, front and rear, which have water spots. Any suggestions on removing the water stains?

I'm told an old detail trick for that is vinigar which will remove the wather spots, however you will need to wax where the water spots were.

As long as the wheel offsets are 55 mm front and rear you should be okay.

Ok how do I find the offsets? All I know is the wheel/tire size I posted which came from the Tire Rack invoice which says nothing about offsets.

These were on my 03-S Boxster.

Thanks for any help!

Purchased an 02-C2 and traded my 03-Boxster-S I have these winter wheel/tires from the box for winter and was wondering if they will fit the 911 (bolt/tire/wheel size)

Front: 17x7.5

Rear: 17x9

Front: 205/50/17

Rear 255/40/17

Thanks

One assumes you want to know if this is a good deal........?

Log on to www.kbb.com or www.edmunds.com and check out their Used Car pricing calculators - you can put in all the options, as well as cite the condition of the car, which you failed to mention here.....load it all in and see what the experts say.

Good luck.

Yup, did that and was a fair asking $ by the dealer, however, is there more room to move, both say "it's a starting place for price"

And condition is excellent.

I am looking at an 02-03 c2 coupe and see no real difference except the year, both are equipted the same and same miles, also both are Porche certified, the 02 is 5K less in $ It seems a no brainer to go with the 02 Any feedback is appreciated
