Had 4 new Michelin Pilot Sport 3+ installed. The car has at least 25 more IHP with the new tires...

Replaced AOS
Did replace my AOS on my 99 boxster. Not really that bad. Only small white smoke on 1st start after car seating for a few days. Small oil inside the hose coming from AOS to Intake plenum. Much as well replace it now than wait getting much oil to the plenum.

Ordered new rear tires
Got some metal slash through the left rear tire as I was pulling out of work. Was planning on replacing rear tires end of the year I guess the road wants me to replace them sooner :ah: Had to order them waiting for delivery to shop - :dance: the biggest lesson I learned is to make sure my spare is maintained. When I put on the spare and lowered the car my spare was flat. Thankfully there was some construction going on at work and some one had an air compressor in their truck

Late to the game this year...started and drove for the first time since last fall. Removed car cover and tender, pushed outside garage...started as if it was driven 10 minutes ago...not a poof of smoke and no perceptible flat spots on tires. For whatever reason, this was the best "wake from slumber" experience I can remember...I'm guessing the car can sense when hibernation is over and knows it's time to frolic in the summer weather.

That Z top looks sharp! Was it hard to install? Do you have to remove it to put the car in “service mode” when working on the engine or can you simply leave latch open?

Installation is pretty easy if you leave the convertible top in. I decided to take it out, wish I hadn't. If you leave the convertible top in you would have to remove the top to get to the engine though.

So tempting... I have an OEM hardtop on mine already but love the look of yours more. Sucks to buy the kit AND paint the new trunk as well. :-/
