I'm considering installing DOT brake lines on my 911SC to improve the
braking.  I know my car isn't supposed to stop like a Buick when you step on
the brakes, but it does seem to take quite a bit of peddle pressure to haul
the car down, and I'm told this is pretty normal for this ...

Any bad reports on the Cayenn

Why are Porsches, particularly the 911 variants, so expensive (at least
in US anyway)? This is something I have been wondering about ever since
I was a youth. I've asked many people this same question, and I always
receive different answers. Some say the cost is mostly due to having ...

I have a Porsche Junior Diesel Tractor, Single cylinder.
I live in the UK.
Starts & Runs well.
It is in use for cutting grass towing an old hayter mower.

Can I expect a good mechanic, who has never worked on a Porsche, to be able
to successfully work on a Boxster? I mean, there's not even an engine under
the bonnet...
I'm asking because it's something like 550km to the nearest official Porsche

My mechanic is hyping synthetic brake fluid.  Apparently this is not DOT 5,
it's something else.  Anybody know what he's talking about?  He claims it's
great stuff.

Ok I am on a fact finding mission I am looking at a 944 model (maybe turbo)
but I don't have any information or experience of what to look for price
wise etc. I am located in Montreal Canada if there is someone around here
willing to hook up meet, talk whatever anything would be ...

I have a 1999 boxster and have not missed an oil change or service
checkup.  At 47K miles the engine seized up.  12K replacement.
Apparently there is a heat sleeve on the manifold (to draw heat from
the engine), that gets sucked into the engine if it comes loose.  i

Does this model suffer from rust ? I have one that has been mostly
garaged - a small bit of elevated pain at one of the skirts has me
wondering. Equally there are some chips on the bonnet that have not
signs of rust despite not being treated and being exposed to the

It seems like the bonnet and boot need power to open.., but what
happens if the battery is flat?
Can anyone tell me?

I am thinking of buying an out of state 97/98/99 Boxster and importing it
into California because I have friend who gets good deals in Georgia and
Florida. Can anyone tell me whether there are any issues doing that? Do
non-CA cars pass CA smog tests okay, for example? Are there any ...

I want to hire a Boxster for my two week holiday in Ireland this
May/June.  I own one now here in America, and if the roads there are
anything like what I've seen in past trips to Great Britain, then I'll
want one on my holiday.  Unfortunately, I cannot find a place that

When bleeding brakes on a car with two bleeder screws per caliper, what
is the proper procedure? Do you bleed both sides of single caliper
before going to the next caliper? Which side of the caliper do you
bleed first? Anything else you would like to share. Thanks in advance

I posted some photos on alt.binaries.schematics.electronic.
There are two of them on a '79 Porsche 928 Central Warning Computer.
My CWC is starting to get a little flakey. It monitors numerous analog
inputs, including various lamp currents and illuminates the central
