On Saturday I had new rubber installed all the way around on my 04 S. The car has 16,000 miles on it and it had the original tires. I also had a 4 wheel alignment performed and I've attached the before & after values. I do not really know that much about an alignment and am looking for some advice from someone with knowledge about these cars. I was told that the caster and camber could nby eicheldp - Main Forum

Marc, Don't get me wrong, I love my Porsche, the few miles I have driven the car have been exhilarating. I have always wanted a Boxster, ever since it first came out. I feel lucky to have found the one sitting in my garage. Part of me was mad at myself for not knowing enough before I purchased it and the other half was mad at the previous owner for his blatant disregard for taking care of thby eicheldp - Main Forum
Sorry for the rant...Bad hair day yesterday. Thanks for your insight, I plan on purchasing new tires and an alignment when it gets closer to spring. I'm looking at buying a pressure bleeder right now so I can flush the brake system myself. I'll do that before the tires are installed. I'll probably do the plugs the same time I bleed the brakes, since the wheels will be off. I believe yourby eicheldp - Main Forum
I have been reading about the IMS issue since I bought my 04 in October. I am so confused, I don't know what to believe. My car has 16,000 miles on it in 10 years of it's life. I don't know how it has been driven prior to my ownership, but I know the last guy did absolutely nothing to the car in the last 3 years (not even changed the oil). I just discovered I have the original tires on the caby eicheldp - Main Forum
I tried to make a reservation at the Switzerland inn (mid January) and received a response that they were full up for that time period and they would put me on a waiting list. I ended up at the Big Lynn Lodge because I wanted to make sure I had a room. Let me know if you're able to secure a room.by eicheldp - Main Forum

I translated part of the text on the link and it stated that the 911 only comes with all wheel drive. "Porsche stellt auf der Detroit Motor Show den neuen Porsche 911 Targa vor. Die Variante mit dem legendären Sicherheits-Überrollbügel baut auf dem Elfer-Cabrio auf und kommt ausschließlich mit Allradantrieb." "Porsche is at the Detroit Motor Show before the new Porsche 911 Targa. The varianby eicheldp - Main Forum
I have an 04 S with a Tiptronic, but only have driven the car for 500 miles before I parked it for the winter. Would my car have this kind of feature installed? I'm still trying to learn everything I can about the vehicle.by eicheldp - Main Forum
Are these still available? Please PM me. Thanksby eicheldp - Parts for Sale
I remember driving with chains when I was younger. I also remember people coming into the garage after they threw a link and the chain beat a hole into the wheel well or the quarter panel.by eicheldp - Main Forum
I just learned about the BRBS from reading this thread. I am absolutely going to be there. It will be my first in my first Boxster. I also sent a note to a friend with an 05 Boxster to see if he'll be joining me.by eicheldp - Main Forum

No, I caught that one. I have to keep on good terms with the dealer because his parts are much less expensive than the Porsche dealer in Conshohocken.by eicheldp - Main Forum
Grant, Thanks for the reference. to your repair shops. I appreciate the info. With regard to the warning light, everything is fine. I just failed to hold the dash switch long enough for the top to close the first few times. It works great after I discovered my error.by eicheldp - Main Forum
Hello from Allentown, PA. I recently purchased an 04 Boxster S with 16,000 miles. Lapis Blue Metallic, Graphite Grey Top, Tiptronic, Bose, Cruise, Chrome Exhaust, 18" Lt Alloy Carrera wheels. Soon after I received the car, I visited the local dealer because the warning light for the convertible top was lit. I asked if they could help me and was told it would take 3 to 4 hours of technicianby eicheldp - Main Forum
