Anyone got any questions on Project 31 - Center Radiator for your 986 Boxster, 987 Boxster, Cayman, Carrera 996, or Carrera 997?

Wayne,

Got your book and I'd like to try this project, two questions:

Are the parts listed also valid for the Spyder?
I've seen websites that for this project recommend the wheel liners be changed for a different type that presumably allows for more air flow, any thoughts on this?

Just a few tips on this. If you have a pre-2000 Boxster, you HAVE to do the hose routing like Wayne suggests, by splicing old and new hoses. I tried every which way to get around this, but nothing would work. Also, pay close attention to the routing of the drivers side upper hose that feeds the center radiator - it's very difficult to route it correctly without having the back of the fan crimp the hose.
