Well I got the old gal running again and she is doing fine except it has just started to squeak when I drive the car. I believe it squeaks when the suspension moves and it is a little annoying. I only hear it when I am driving slow, which is not often. haha. I am thinking it is the suspension bushings, Am I on the right path or ...by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
I have an OBD reader app that I had for another car and tried it on the Boxster. It connected fine so I took it out for a little test drive. I noticed something immediately, the speedo was faster them the OBD, about 9% Speedo said 76 and OBD said 70. I put larger tires on the car but wouldn't that make the speedo slower? As a side note, I really like all of the different things I can see oby Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
Hello everyone, well I got the old gal out on the road again and it sure is nice. I forgot how nice it was to drive this car. I do have an issue though, I turned on my ac and noticed little pieces of grey foam on the passenger seat. I looked at the vents and noticed large chunks of grey foam behind the air vents. They were behind all four vents. I picked out most of it and vacuumed the rest.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
Yes I found a shop after many phone calls and conversations. The owner was very communicative during the fix. It cost more than I thought it would but there was a number of things wrong with it. Who knew rubber and other parts dries out after a decade of non use. Haha.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
Hello all, well I got the old girl back on the road again and I did miss her, but there are some issues I have noticed. The Passenger side window drops when you pull open the door but will go back up before I close the door, which leads to the window bring on the outside of the window frame. I have figured out how to stop this from happening, but it is a pain in the ass. The second issue is thby Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum

Hello everyone, I used to read this board on a daily basis but I stopped driving my Boxster. It has basically sat for 9 years and I want to start it up again. I was bad and I did not remove the gas or get my car on blocks. So the tires are flat spotted. What do I need to do to get the girl up and running again? Thanks in advanced.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
Emmanuel, I'm sorry I had stopped looking on here. It has about 30k miles on it. You can contact me on doclaw64@yahoo.com and I do check that daily. Thanks, Michaelby Michael SYS Driver - Parts for Sale

as long as you are not in front it detects it off of other cars but if you are first in line you are toast. By the time it goes off you are caught.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum

I haven't posted in years but this thread intrigues me. I was a sports car fan my whole life but never a Porsche fan. In the early ninetys I was a motorcycle fan. I was on my third bike and I loved that bike. It was a 1995 Honda VFR. That single sided swing arm wa just so cool or at least I thought so.

Use it all the time when I do something under the car and I can get better access with a wheel off. I don't have a lift to I still have to lie on the ground.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
or you could jack up a side and put the ramp under the wheel, of course that pretty much cancels out the whole ease of use. Would be a good idea if you were worried about making sure the wheels were centered on it and didn't have someone to "spot" you.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum

thanks I will try the cigarette lighter and jumper cable. My trickle charger is a better one and it had a fault with the battery disconnected so that did not work. I will look at the fuse panel to see if I have the connectors. Thanks for the info.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
