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.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ive been completing a lot of weight reductions recently and decided to give a nod to the factory lightweight cars by installing some pull straps. I couldn't be happy with the way they turned out Cheers, Stu

POST 2Original post

Any pictures of the inside attachments?

I don't unfortunaltly, it's very straight forward though. I just passed the cable through the strap and added a zip tie for reinforcement. It's pretty obvious how to do this with the door panel off.

POST 4Original post

cool. you should make an RS kit - door straps, lightweight carpet, what else?

Lightweight plastic convertible top window. I will trade mine if someone wants to remove their heavy glass top.

POST 6Original post

That actually looks pretty cool Truegearhead, and almost intended from the factory. Where did you get the straps?

POST 7Original post

How do you remove the door handle itself? Is it a difficult job?

POST 8Original post

Great work Stu! Only part missing now is a trim piece to cover the opening. I wonder if we could custom model and 3d print something for it?

POST 10Original post

I didn't realize that some Boxsters came without side airbags! My 02 has them in the doors. Your doors were lighter than mine from the factory!

Hello, I have a question about installing the RS door straps on the 986. Whenever you are about to open the door the window goes down a little. The door handle has a spring for that purpose. When you installed the straps did you run into any issues with that? Regards, Manny
