  1. Yes agreed, I will request this. Your input is appreciated, Mike
  2. When the hit happened with the car parked and in gear, it may be that the gearbox is damaged in the longer term, although it shifts fine at standstill and engine not running. Thank you for your response, It certainly appears from the photos of the damaged car that the front end came into contact with a pole. The shape of the front bumper has the appearance of folding or wrapping around what could have been a round structure of some type. The images of the interior show the air bags deployed, both driver and passenger side. My guess would be the car was moving at impact, couldn't say if the car was in gear but I would suspect it was? Any other opinions? Thanks, Mike
  3. I am in the process of sourcing a Boxster S transmission G86/20 for a project. I have seen prices from used parts companies in the $2,000 range and pricing from rebuilders of $7,000. I realize that a completely rebuilt unit with upgrades and all will be worth more, however, is there a "buyer beware" attitude about purchasing a used transmission from a reputable firm? I have seen a 2001 unit available that has been sitting in the car for two years, they claim it shifts fine (with car stationary) and transmission fluid is clean, but sitting there for two years, is there anything I should be aware of? The car was hit in the front and did not appear to be that bad from the photos? It has under 60,000 miles on it, if the information being provided is accurate. Any input is appreciated. Thanks, Mike
  4. Just stay clear of Wicked Wandas and Chez Paris...LOLAre you kidding me, these clubs have a level of sophistication unmatched, where else can you drink beer and shout while enjoying the ballet?
  5. Love Montreal, have been coming each year for many years on pleasure. Downtown and old Montreal, Hotel St. James, Queen Elizabeth, The Beaver Club, Gibby's and the cafes in little Italy, love it all. Missed the race this year but should be in town in early September for labor day if not before. Would enjoy meeting you, if you are in the Niagara area or passing through be sure to let me know? Thank you again for you help, Stay well, Mike
  6. Once again J.P. thank you for your input and diagrams. I will use your reference notes and have a look. I plant to be in Montreal soon perhaps we could meet? Many thanks, Mike
  7. Identified a "0234" fault code today... "Turbo - Super Charger Overboost condition". Did a search on this forum and came up empty on results. The car runs good without hesitation upon acceleration and no odd behaviour. I did have a CEL diagnosed by the dealer as 0491 and 0492 relating to SAI system but I'm not sure if the two are related, any ideas what I might be up against? Online search reveals the following... OBD Code P0234refers to The PCM disables (bypasses) the supercharger boost and sets a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) to keep from damaging the powertrain (engine or transmission) during potential harmful operating conditions. Symptoms Possible sumptoms of OBD code P0234 - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) Causes Possible causes of OBD code P0234 - Brake torque (brake on and throttle at wide open). - Transmission oil temperature (TOT) exceeds calibrated threshold. - Engine over temperature. - Ignition misfire exceeds the calibrated threshold. - Knock sensor (KS) failure Possible Solutions Check for other diagnostic trouble codes accompanying P0234, or check appropriate and available PIDs related to the above possible causes.
