The bendix on the starter may be not extending completely. Sometimes cleaning and lubrication can fix it, other times a new starter is required. Happy Boxstering, Pedro

Hi CarlL Welcome to PedrosBoard! There are many options available for a rearview camera, depending on your wants/needs. You can get a wired or wireless system. You can get a stand-alone monitor on the dash or use your smart phone as monitor. Some people opt for the monitor attached to the rearview mirror.

Re: Locked Boxster Trunk - 12 months ago

That's what they did. They applied 12 volts directly to the circuit. It's not a DIY job because it's very easy to fry the ECU or CLU if you miss the correct side of the fuse. Happy Boxstering, Pedro

Re: What about the costs to you for hosting this board, Pedro? - 12 months ago

I always said that PB would not charge a membership fee as other boards do. Fortunately we have had a great sponsor in BumperPlugs.com which helps with some of the server costs, but the rest comes out of my pocket. Happy Boxstering, Pedro

QuoteBlackbird What are the names of the charities that the $2,500 will be given to? What date will the charity selection vote take place? Who is paying for the manufacture of the hats since all $2,500 for the 100 hats @$25 each go to charities? For the record: The 3 charities that I have considered are: The Gary Sinise Foundation Feeding America Ronald McDonald House Please read up o

Re: Happy Thanksgiving! - 1 year ago

QuoteBlackbird Pedro--What needy organizations will the hat purchase be provided too? As we get closer to our goal (year-end) we will have a short list of 3-5 worthy causes and the contributing members will vote on their preference. I'm thinking it should be to help people especially affected by the Covid-19 situation. But everyone's suggestions are welcomed Happy Boxstering,

Re: Locked Boxster Trunk - 1 year ago

Having the battery disconnected won't allow for the opening of the trunk with the lug on the fusebox. You have another option: Remove the front left tire and pull on the emergency release cable to open the trunk. If you have a safety bolt on your wheel and the socket is locked in the trunk, then you may have to destroy the security bolt by removing it with an extractor. Once the tire is

Cranking without engine start ... - 1 year ago

... sounds like the Immobilizer. The ECU does not send power to the spark plugs hence, no start. Is there a chance that the CLU under the driver's seat is wet? Can you try using a second key? (different imho pill). Other could be a bad crank position sensor (mice can gnaw the wires). Good luck. Happy Boxstering, Pedro

My love for the Boxster began when I was 7 years old!... - 1 year ago

... and that was in 1959. The day I got my first mid-engined vehicle. A home-built go-cart that my dad built for me with a 2 HP engine. The fad was just starting and I got in early. I learned how to drive it well and soon had to upgrade to a commercially built one, a Rupp Kart. Eventually the slippery slope took me to high-revving engines, such as the McCulloch 101, Rotax, Aprilla, etc T
