Hi, all -
I'm new to this forum - very happy to have found it - a crowd of otherwise normal folks besotted with their Boxsters!! �� At last! These are my people.....
My "firstborn" is a 2002 Guards Red Box with 60K miles on the odo. Pristine car that I treat with embarrassing attention and affection! �� I have a couple of DIY questions though:
I found a website promoting an after-market performance chip with some pretty interesting claims - check it out: PORSCHE BOXSTER GF Peformance Chip
Can't sort out whether it's worth a try or, more likely, nonsense! Anyone have any experience with this product? Advice? Suggestions?
Another question concerns a piece of "wisdom" I heard from another Boxster owner. He claims that substituting a quart of Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer for one of the quarts of regular synthetic oil at each oil change will go a long way toward preventing IMS problems/failure? True? "Miracle-in-a-bottle" nonsense? Don't know/can't hurt?
Thanks for sharing any thoughts on these.
