    Or you can buy one from places like Suncoast Porsche for about $57.00!

    Why do you want to add this to your car? How will it effect your warranty? What are you going to do if the oil messes up your emmission sensors? Hope you don't get the dreaded CEL. Good luck.

    Don't forget to properly break-in this new motor. Keep the RPM's below 4,200 for the first 2,000 miles, don't lug the engine, and vary your speed and RPM's during long driving periods. Long drives would be preferred. Good luck. I would also suggest an oil change at the 1,000 mile mark.

    I guess not do i have to ? the only diff is the speed rating and with 6 ply construction they can handled the weight of the veh and less chances of getting flats. I am very happy with them trust me is a huge diff from continentals. I guess if porsche was going to pay for the tires they will get to pick but since is my money is my choice. The point I am trying to illustrate is that you are using tires that are NOT Porsche approved. In the unlikely (and unfortunate, for you or others that could be involved) event that you get into an accident, your insurance company could void your insurance and deny the claim, since you have altered your vehicle, based on the manufactures recommendations.

    Have you informed your insurance company that you are not using Porsche approved tires?

    You can order the Ragg Topp from www.autopia.org. I think this is the better product.
  7. White987S
    If you want to save some money on tires, try buying a good name brand, but with a lower speed rating. Just a thought.

    Why does the GT3 Steering Wheel have a yellow mark at 12:00. Thanks!
  9. White987S
    True, NO reason to idle for warm-up. Maybe 10-60 seconds tops. Just drive easy until engine reaches normal op temp. and give time for the tranny fluid to warm-up. Keep RPM's below 3,000-4,000 until normal op. temp. Excessive idle time for warm-up just wastes gas and can ultimately foul-up some of your delicate and expensive engine/emmissions sensors.

    I bet we see a +300 HP Boxster in about 2 years.

    Brushes are for your teeth or your hair! Not your beloved Porsche. Get a good wheel cleaner and a quality sponge or microfiber pad. Clean the wheels and then apply a couple coats of Rejex wax. Then, all you need to keep the wheels clean is a high quality soap (like Zaino Z7) and warm water.

    A lot (>50%) of the cooling comes from the oil anyways. Hope you are OK.
  13. White987S
    No.
  14. White987S
    Thanks, Eric, was this the factory option or aftermarket?
  15. White987S
    Sonic boom??
  16. White987S
    Does anyone have the Leather Fuse Box Cover (factory option code CUJ) in Sand Beige Leather? Can you please post a picture? Thanks!
  17. White987S
    You need to buy a Boxster 987. You will fit much better! :)
  18. White987S
    Nick the part number you want is 000 044 500 09. This part number is listed in both Techquipment books for the 987 and 986. Make sure you use the 5 mm longer wheel bolts too!
  19. White987S
    I have heard that the halogens on the 987 are excellent...so don't worry!
  20. White987S
    Alain, if you can get ahold of an older Boxster 987 brochure from the 2004/2005 printing, on page 61 it lists a great breakdown of all of the Boxster build materials. Here is shows the roll bar to be made from "Super high-strength austentic stainless steel". I don't know if this can be polished nor if this is the same material in the 986.
  21. White987S
    What color are they at night? Are they real bright? Do they get brighter in the first few seconds after they "fire-up"? Do they self level...point down, then level up after turing on?? If so. they are Xenon. A +$1,000 option!
  22. White987S
    Have you looked in the Owners Manual or the Warrenty/Maintainance Book? I think they put a white sticker in one of my 2006 books. Look there in the first 2-3 pages.
  23. White987S
    You are not due for a fluid change until 60,000 miles. But, you could do it early. I have heard good things about Red Line and Royal Purple.
  24. White987S
    Yes!
  25. White987S
    I don't know if they can be replaced. Have you checked with www.sunsetporsche or www.suncoastporsche?? To remove the air bag stickers (on the vinyl visors), I used a cloth saturated with denatured alcohol. With a little patience, rubbing and peeling they remove with great success. To complete the job, just wipe down the visor with a good quality vinyl protecant. Your leather color code should be called cocoa.
