#872 of 887 Re: wind deflector and online resources / forum [carlover3] by andys120 May 22, 2009 (3:46 am)
Replying to: carlover3 (May 21, 2009 8:37 pm) 1. what can I expect from the wind deflector ? it's not cheap, i called some local Porsche parts stores and they quote it over $500 plus the labor to install it. And if I decide to buy it, is there an online store for it for a lower price ? ( can it be much lower than $500 ?)   and it needs professional installation or how easy to install it at home ?   What you can expect is a reduction in the amount of backdraft entering the cockpit. $500 seems like a lt for a simple piece of plastic. If I were you I'd type the words "Porsche cockpit wind deflector" into a search engine and see what came up.   The Edmund's rules prohibit creating a direct link to other auto forums so I'll just tell you to try the Porsche Club of America for a Boxster forum (www.pca.org).

#873 of 887 Boxster S 0-60 in 4.3 seconds!!! by boxterrcc May 26, 2009 (9:50 pm)
Check out the latest comparison from Car and Driver--plus video on youtube (sorry don't have link). New Z4 vs Vette vs Audi TTS and Boxster S. They got a 0-60 tie between Vette and Boxster S at 4.3 seconds! Incredible.... maybe that'll shut up the vette folks who love to claim their straight line performance is so much better (albeit, it was a convertible with auto not the Z06).

Replying to: andys120 (May 22, 2009 3:46 am) I've had two Boxsters, both with wind deflectors and I recommend them highly. It made a big difference in the amount of wind in the cockpit while driving. I have a set from my last Boxster, which includes the plastic insert between the seats and the two screens that pop into the headrests. They are all in perfect condition and available for sale on Seattle's Craigslist under auto parts and accessories for $150. I'm certain they will fit Boxsters up to year 2004 - you'll need to confirm if there was a change after that. You may need some hardware drilled into the roll bars to hold the plastic screen in place but should be inexpensive. I wish I still had the car but a new baby meant a change of cars. Good luck to you! Replies to this message: houstonowner (Oct 18, 2009 9:29 am) zaina (Oct 18, 2009 10:23 pm) tomk17 (Oct 30, 2009 8:00 am)

Replying to: designman (Jul 21, 2005 5:48 am) I have an 02 Boxster ( milage-41K) that just got this disease & out of warranty. "On average "-when does the clutch need to be replaced and what would be an estimate of the cost for both clutch & RMS repair at an authorized dealer?

Replying to: jjnxr7n (Aug 18, 2009 6:47 pm) Sounds a little high. I recentley paid $14,500 for my 2000 with 58K miles. Included hard top, all accesseries, and two sets of tires.
#879 of 887 Plastic rear window crack by doug18 Sep 08, 2009 (8:28 am)
My 2002 Boxster's plastic rear window has developed a small (1/2" crack). Any suggestions on what I can use to seal this?   Thanks!

Looking at a 2001 Boxster S w/36 K miles, racing wheels, new pirelli tires, and spotless. oothwe upgrades. asking $19500. is this a good deal? also concerned about engine failure problems, especially oil leak with oil and coolant mixing. how prevalent is this problem? has scared me off for now. other problems?
#881 of 887 Re: Boxster failure [dtownmil] by marygi Oct 04, 2009 (6:04 pm)
Replying to: dtownmil (Mar 23, 2009 8:34 am) I just had my '04Boxster experience an Intermediate shaft failure w/52,000. I am also very fortunate to convince PNA to repair it at no charge. $19,500 is probably not out of line for an S with such low miles. There are no percentages of IMS failure in Boxsters, however the scuttlebut among drivers is that PNA is aware of the problem on the 996 engines and the failure rate could be as high as 20%. All the new Box's have better IMS installed and it can be retrofitted (as mine supposadly was).
