"Yesterday and today (I had to wait on some parts), I replaced the rear trailing arms thanks to the great DIY located here. While I was doing that, I ended up replacing the rear underbody panel and the 2 rear wheel mud guards(all three were worn out), then I did my oil and filter change with no sparkles on my magnetic drain plug, rotated the tires, and then finally I washed and waxed it! My original LN magnetic drain plug failed when I was tightening it back up so I got another one which is a new design and it doesn't look like this one will fail. Oh, and then I took some pictures before I took it for a "test drive" since it was such a nice evening"
So....how exactly did you rotate tires? Aren't your staggered? Mine are.

Right Front to Left Front, Right Rear to Left Rear, not really rotate but swap them.

Can you do this with all tires or some don't allow it? Any markings on the tire that would tell me yes or no?

I have Michelin PSS's and they are non-directional but they do have an outside marking which means it must be mounted correctly. There are some tires that are directional and cannot be swapped but the Pilot Super Sports are not directional.

Completed my first track days with my new Boxster - NJMP Thunderbolt and Lightning with PCA Schattenbaum. The car ran great and I was very happy to outpace a couple of prepped Spec Boxsters with my stock (except brake pads) car. I also beat my personal best on Lightning, which was set in a 550HP M3

AutoX
Did a Autocross for the first time on Saturday, what a BLAST!. Some other forum members were also in attendance. Now I need new brakes, oil change and a good detailing. The list of items to go over this winter keeps getting longer.

My Frankencar is going back to OE...maybe
well my Subaru powered (EJ2.5 SOHC) 98' Boxster is looking like it will return to an OE engine soon (CA smog is a bit*&)....
so two things now,
1- anybody got a spare running drivetrain???
2-anybody interested in a plug-n-play Subie setup (will support any Subie motor)?
LMAO @ me

Sub-install and Detailed
Put some thump in the audio by adding an Alpine PWE-S8 powered sub in the passenger footwell. The install was super easy and 100% reversible. The PWE-S8 was easy to work with, is built like a tank, and has a single quick connector for power and sound - so it can be quickly stowed in the trunk if more room is needed or theft is a concern. Still playing around with were it fits/sounds best.
I upgraded the dash speakers to Infinity REF-4022cfx's a few months ago to my otherwise stock CDR-23 and now with the sub it is putting out some decent sound. This isn't going to wow any audiophiles or bass heads, but loud enough and very listenable.
No pictures of the sub install yet but here is one of the outside after a thorough detail.
