I'll wait for an answer too, as I need new CV boots according to the PPI I had done. I love your yellow cab ... those wheels look huge ... need more details and more pictures for sure.

They are 18" bbs classixs I will look for more pics. I replaced all of my boots three years ago and three out of four of them are already shot.

When I was in high school and the big BAJA BUG craze was in full swing everyone had to have as much EMPI on the VW as possible. It was considered the best on the planet for bugs so I'm guessing it is the same for Porsche. I had to chuckle when I went out to Performance Products and they handed me a box I figured was VW. They assured me it was the OE product. Do you remember what brand you got? Could it be the dry air where you are? Where did you get them?

Dont remember where I got them. They are the oem boots for an sc car, the ones with the thicker flange. Maybe it is just the heat from the turbo motor that torched them.

You are probebly right. You really have to show more pictures. That is the car we all want, but don't have the time, tallent, or budget to build. What tranny do you have?

What are you trying to say about her? Rear-end torque? Sorry, couldn't resist.
