Hi, my name is Frans. (Everyone say “Hi Frans.”)
Meet Roxanne. She is my “other woman.” We have been together since July 2009. She is: ‘04 - 2.7 – 18 (as in 18” rims). As far as I know, Roxanne has had no… “augmentations.”

You have heard it before (and you will hear it again), I love driving this car. I had her out today during my lunch brake. First nice day in a while. Her top was down and the wind was in my hair. I did a little driving on the highway, but mostly some nice curving roads. Ah, spring.
Anyway, like everyone else, when I get a good thing… I want more. In this case, power. I have done a lot of reading here and want to say that I have learned more here than on other Boxster forums. Thanks to All, for your input. And now, I am here and have a couple questions.
First, actually has nothing to do with power. I live in PA. We do not have front license plates, so I removed the front plate holder. Can I get little tabs (or inserts or something) to put in the holes in the bumper? I have yet to call the Porsche dealer, there is not one nearby.
Second question, and a little more involved, is a two part question about the underdrive pulley.
- Where did everyone buy their pulley and belt? Flat6Innovations has been mentioned in these pages, but it appears that they are not taking orders at this time (though I have yet to contact Jake Raby directly through the 986 forum).
-I have also seen mentioned in some posts about increasing the size of the power steering pulley. Anyone do both these mods? Would it add any noticable power to the wheels? Would it “underpower” my steering if I did both?
I have a lot of other questions, but wanted to start here.
Thanks,
Frans
