Help Request - Planning Winter Projects & need to be pointed in the right direction
Hi all,
I took ownership of my boxster ~56k miles and it now has 59k on it and is going to be garaged until March 1st with a few start-ups and gentle drives around the neighborhood to keep it in good running condition.
I'm also going to be doing a number of projects. Here's where I need pointers:
1. I swear I've seen a DIY and tips on where to purchase shifter bushings, but now I've spent 20 minutes and I can't find them for sale nor a DIY...any tips?
2. After reviewing the options it seems like Pedro's Garage's Enthusiast Motor Mount is a great price (w/ core) and a good unit. I'm simply looking for stock but more durable characteristics. Any thoughts on this?
Other than that, here's what I'll be doing as well my links to parts and prices:
1. Spark plugs - NGK, $7.25 each,
2. Fuel Filter, Mahle $30.75
3. Serp Belt - Contitech, $30.50
4. Air Filter - Mahle, $21.50
5. Oil Change - M1 0w40 (9 quarts) +Hengst Oil Filter ($11.50 at Pelican) + new oil drain plug crush washer + oil filter gasket
6. Brake and clutch fluid bleed - Basic DOT3 fluid, or maybe SuperBlue if I'm feeling frisky.
Any and all additional tips and tricks are appreciated, or things to check in on. I've already cleaned out the radiators.
Thanks all!
Joe
