After 2 years of ownership and 10,000 miles, I finally changed the oil. I was relieved to find the filter spotless

Rough idle and oil in the intake so replaced AOS. Now have a strong fuel smell by rear passenger tire. She must think if she runs properly I will ignore her.

(from my project thread)
So I decided to clean my ac condensors. I just assumed no one has ever bothered to, over its 13 year life. I printed this as a referance Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Front Bumper Removal - 986 / 987
The picture does NOT do justice how much crap and crud and pebbles and just thick and smelly mud.... I almost got sick it was so disgusting......
Clean again! I used a brush to get all of the main crud out and also, it's easier when it's dry.. Then power cleaner..
BTW: Is my left front one broke? Look at the bottom left corner, looks like the bottom row is coming off.. does this give any lack in efficiency at all?
Now...... the scariest discovery......... the right one is half covered in "cement" !! This has GOT to effect a lot, right??
So, I did this to avoid overheating, from what I read that can happen if they are clogged from filth over the years.
It was a fair DIY job, took 2.5 hrs at a friends house who handed me tools, collected screws and for motivation. Some plastic covers left and right underneith was gone..
All in all, a fun job

Installed GT3 style seats. Was running only the driver's side for a while but I thought I'd make life more uncomfortable for the passengers
oops sorry for the orientation of the photo...

Replaced the headlight switch this afternoon.
Hopefully, it was the reason why both my low beams would not start occasionally when I switched them on. Otherwise, the electrical part of the ignition switch is the likely root of the problem.
BTW: the Pelican DIY is great. Be sure to read the comments to learn about the bezel trick. All in all, it took me about 30 minutes to do the job. Having done it once, I could do the job in 15 minutes now. Tool needed were a trox 20 driver, a small flat screwdriver for releasing the switch button, and channel locks to loosen the 24 mm nut that holds the switch in place. I didn't really need the 24 mm deep socket Pelican suggested for removing the nut.

nice mod
so do you keep the key in your pocket or do you still need the key inserted into ignition stalk to disable immobilizer?

Replaced the brake pads all around with new Textar units. I was rather pleased at the ease of pad changes, considering the calipers didn't need to come off. But with the heat (also from a hot engine) I completely soaked a shirt. Ha, Florida.

Road Trip
I drove to Albuquerque… Yes, the Jägermobile is on a road trip again! I could have made it in record time but Highway 40 was shut-down for hours (bad accident), so I decided to take a detour and see all of northern Arizona before going into New Mexico.
