9.5 quarts of Mobil delvac 1, and 3 quarts of Redline 75w90ns.

Pretty easy job.

My 2.7 took 9.3 or so today...2 digital bars from top of recommended range after running it for a while and waiting 10 minutes.

Do 2.5/2.7/3.2 hold slightly different amounts? I followed your thread and certainly know that you know your stuff.

Exclamation Sacrilege... I gained foot room...ask me how

Danger, Sacrilege and advanced modification ahead.

So I rotated the fuse box up to the lip the OBDI-II port is on...

I hope my fuses don't fall out now it's facing down.

so.
moved the port elsewhere. used it's hole towards the middle and drilled a second 3" towards middle, re-used it's screws into two holes the carpeted cover screwed into, cut a bit of the ziptie channel off...

Had to massage the air duct a bit to squeez the box up there, but it's soft plastic.
took a bit to gently and slowly flex the wiring loom into the new position
(removed old wrapping, & combed it w/ my fingers)

easier w a heat gun I'd think (but carefully) on duct.
them trim down side cover to a sliver to protect the loom from your foot on entry.

To do it again, I'd heat the wiring loom a bit too when flexing it into new location.

then wrap in tape.

now a totally hidden fuse box, and tons more foot space.

Smile Mounts from stock sliders to buckets

My pal gave me a set of corbeau's glass buckets that actually fit my shoulders.

So, adapter plates to the stock sliders, and trim down the stock belt mounts too...

;-) Joy Shoulder room for ages.
and a "better" (for me) seating position.

I love a car that is awesome yet cost me next to nothing, I feel free to do as I please.

In the middle of replacing Coolant Tank. Oh what fun. Got the old out, have the new tank reassembled with dip stick hole drilled. Now the fun begins reinstalling and not breaking the oil fill tubes.

Cool Bed Time

I put the old boy to bed for the winter. Changed the oil first and put the humidity bags in the cockpit. Its got 93,400 miles on the counter original IMS, RMS and water pump. Next thing to do will be to inflate the tires to around 45psi, put the charger on and take the wipers off .

Repleced both of them with a generic resistor I bought on ebay.



They were both dead. Been driving the car around for about a week. It runs cooler now by 15-20 degrees.

Drove my 98 Boxster to Kaiser and dropped off my final Semen sample. After two vasectomy I am free and clear. Yep...I said two vasectomy. Apparently I had millions of super sperm. Two years of samples and today's sample came back negative!
