I've no idea how you got that beast into cc03 
I stopped by there on the way home from work yesterday to see who was at the SCCA meet .... Pretty much the same track as pca had laid out , but I had an empty tank and my helmet was at home

I fixed mine. It had a failed crank position sensor. The durametric really paid for itself by helping me diagnose the issue.

After a couple months of looking around, finally found an airbag to match my 3 spoke steering wheel conversion last week! Luckily the mailman was early today so I had some time to throw it on the car along with some aluminum pedals I found dirt cheap on eBay. Thank you once again Heliguy!

I love those wheels... for $1600 total I'd say it's an "excellent" deal. Where did you get that body kit? It looks really good.

Being dad taxi. Carting my kids between several birthday parties. It's no chore in a Porsche! All my kids friends going 'wow! A porche!' And even one saying 'a 911!'

Took my Boxster base to the local indy with request to install new water pump/ thermostat and a camshaft position sensor. Hopefully the latter will extinguish the steady CEL light. Cheers, G.
