Suggestion

There are a wide range of quick-shift kits available that appear to make the gear change much sweeter.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What options are there for getting 1.5 - 2 degrees of negative camber on the front wheels on an old boxster? Are there any seriously active boxster forums too? After a bit of googling I'm struggling to find much info. What options are there for making the gear change better? Less sticky and quicker? Thanks Iin advance.

POST 2Original post

You may want to take a look over onto Planet 9 http://www.planet-9.com/ as they tend to do quite a bit more modding in the US than we do here. Another option for getting the degree of front camber you are looking for is to fit longer lower control arms from a GT3 or after market ones from someone like RSS or Tarett. There are a wide range of quick-shift kits available that appear to make the gear change much sweeter. Have a search on e-bay. Edited by Trev450 on Tuesday 27th October 09:23

POST 3Original post

I'm comfortably at -1.5 to -2 on both my Boxsters by modding the top mount turret. If your gearchange is 'sticky' and won't self centre then it is most likely the cables. I have tried cleaning up and lubing the cable ends at the gearbox with some improvement but the real solution was to fit a new cable set.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That's all great thanks folks.

POST 5Original post

Hi RMac, I would speak to either Brookspeed or Hartech, as both have race boxsters. Chris
