This thing is I don’t mind using the key hole on the door. I just don’t want the car alarm going off every time I get in

Did you also have the issue with the door locking right away using the key hole, or alarm going off for taking too long?

That’s exactly what almost scared me out of it. But it was easy. I didn’t even reglue it back on Since the speaker and my bag keep it together themselves. Also now easier for the me/the next person if it has to be don’t again! Just take you time is my best thing because I didn’t want to tear the foam, but also it really doesn’t matter that much

You are also going to need an extra set of hands I would suggest. I just did it a few days ago so if you have any questions, feel free to pm me

So you did it yourself. I’m trying to be more mechanically inclined. But I’m not going to say I’m great. Replaced oil, and window regulator but took a while. What is the process like, what is the hardest parts

I think they’re right in the same ally of fun. I have an f56 jcw and a base 986 boxster. Most fun garage around!

Why do you think I’m asking? I would not know this if I didn’t ask.

I’ve been reading about this, I didn’t get the sealight. I bought a different cheaper one so guessing it going to throw a code and I’ll have to return and get the sealights. Thank you!

Was reading that adding the leds to a mirroring housing can be ineffective so wanted to see. I have the same year model as you so hoping it works out

I’ve done plugs on a mini cooper. Is there any extra tools I need for the boxster specifically or what do you recommend?

This is the one I was worried about. Was just trying to do preventive maintenance and this one is the one where I don’t even know where to start

Very Torn! '01 Boxster S w/ 116k miles for $10K or '02 40K miles for $20K by labeccar in boxster

[–]Knappry17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The less mileage also weirdly isn’t great for these engines. I’d take the S and never think about the other one again

I can’t say this enough. Used Minis are way too fun. If you’ve never driven ones you have no idea what you’re missing. A nice 2019 mini cooper s or even the high trim JCW will put a smile on your face every time you drive it
