Re: 987S Boxster with PCM air vent removal - 1 year ago
Hello, Update: I went to the Porsche dealer and they suggested to remove the PCM and this should access the cable. I did that once before when I replaced my HVAC levers. Next day I went to my Indy and he pulled the cable off a bracket to allow the extraction of the cable and it;s mate right by the dash vent hole. He inspected my new/used unit I bought from ebay and fixed the top tab so it wby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
987S Boxster with PCM air vent removal - 1 year ago
Hi I got my air vent out of the dash, but there is a cable that needs to be be disconnect which is about 7" in the dash. I can see it when I shine a flash light in there. My hand can't fit thru the hole? What is the best way to remove the cable and then install the new one that is attached to the vent. PS I broke the old cable from the old unit...so the old cable is still connected. Thanks.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Re: Gas fill cover - 1 year ago
I had the same issue on my 2006 Boxster S. I guess it is good to reset the locking system. I get different results when I use the key fob vs the lock on the door...then there is the inside lock button as well. The system must get confused....or maybe its the sequence in which we lock or unlock?by BLKBOXS - Main Forum

Thanks for sharing! Another example of a beautiful Boxster. I like how he refers to the top as an "emergency top" Let the battle for allocation begin!!!by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Re: I think you're forgetting - 2 years ago
QuoteGuenter in Ontario that Porsche will surely solve this issue by allowing you to tick off the the right options. Most owners will be more than willing to add the BSE option for a mere $3000 - $4000 so it will sound like they're virtually driving a real Boxster. You will have an option to upgrade to the Baumeister sound system for 5K USD more to enhance the ICE sound.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum

Re: 1997 Boxster radio/CD player issue - 2 years ago
Just remember in this case the volume device is not under your right foot. Turn the radio knob on the Left side to the right. Good luck.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Re: Like the Italians say... - 3 years ago

European Deliver Leipzig - Boxster 25 Years - March 8 2022 - 3 years ago
Please refer to the following summary of my ED! What a great Day! It Began – Leaving the hotel on delivery day. Chris and I left the hotel at 8 AM to the Leipzig Experience center. We were greeted and shown to the coffee shop on the 2nd floor by Shara and given a pager. The coffee shop was well equipped with all types of snacks and beverages. In the middle of the shop was a 1973 Carrera Rby BLKBOXS - Main Forum

Re: Heck, ... - 3 years ago
QuotePedro (Odessa, FL) ... I'll let you steal "the original PedrosGarage 1998" Boxster for $99,999.99 (or best offer). Now, that's a bargain! Happy Bidding Pedro Hi Pedro, For that price, that would only include the sweat equity you put in to it. What is the total price including the hardware?by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Re: I've been suprised before - 3 years ago
I was with Guenter at that event on Saturday and the Sales guy also stated that they can't get an allocation for a base Boxster. A customer has put a deposit down since Sept 2020. No or little Supply vs current Demand = sky high prices. Note: Dealers in Canada can't ask more then MRSP. Everything in the Dealership's showroom were used Porsches...all but one was sold...2020 Spyder...Press car 7Kby BLKBOXS - Main Forum

Re: Ball Joint Rod Broke--4 years Later - 4 years ago
The passenger side ball broke. When I ordered the replacement part 4 years ago they came in as a pair. I used one and put the other one away for safe keeping. I don't have a clue were that is though? Ordered another pair. I am getting good at this repair...as long as i can remember what I did. Thank goodness I can refer back to Pedros Board! MEby BLKBOXS - Main Forum

Re: Baby, 718 Spyder for China - 4 years ago
Kind of reminds me of when Ford put a 4 cylinder in their Mustang in1974. I was not impressed...so I kept my 1973 Mach 1 351 Cleveland 4 Barrel 4 speed for a while. I am sure the China Spyder will perform well...but not like the NA 4.0 LTR.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Re: At the risk of a flame war..... IMS debate.... - 4 years ago
Replacing IMS when you are replacing your clutch really won't matter for MY 2005.5 and up as you need to crack open the block to remove the IMS. I guess I will drive and enjoy.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Re: Tires - 4 years ago
As you stated …"Michelin Pilot Sports 4S are the "best" " It is the only thing between your car and the road, why not get the best? I have a 2006 Boxster S and have never deviated from the Michelins. I ride on Michelins on my Lexus because it is a family car. My Honda that I drive back and forth to work gets whatever is on sale at the time. I feel the difference as I did have Michelins onby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
