AOS replacement, and Throttle Body Service. What a tight squeeze. Feels and sounds better though.

Finally installed my oil pressure and oil temp gauges.
Also fixed a broken convertible top speedo cable.
Hoping I can monitor oil temps on track and determine if an external oil cooler is necessary.

I was tired of hearing my wheel centers rattle (stock 17" twisties with colored emblem wheel centers) every time I hit a bump at low speed, so I pulled them, wiped the wheel and back of wheel center with isopropyl alcohol then ran a thin bead of Loctite 5900 flange sealant. No more rattling.
Used 5900 because I had some left over from a recent sump cover removal, it's gray, and sets up quickly. Time will tell how it will hold up to heat and vibration...

Finally finished installing the rear speakers (factory speakers with shelf from another forum member) on my 2001 Boxster S. Harness from Becker, white roll-bar clip from a local BMW dealer. Definitely improved the sound of the CDR220 in my Boxster!

Installed new dash speakers (sounds better).
Cleaned my old convertible top (plastic window) so I can try to sell it.

Passed inspection
My 11.5k mile 2002 Boxster with rebuilt engine passed inspection today.
Tomorrow I go get tags.
Not sure if I sell this or moth ball it for my daughter who starts high school tomorrow.
Lots of goodies in engine.
Nikisil, imsr, billet chain tensioner,
Low temp thermo, all
Wear items new.
Arguably better than rolling off factory line.

I think I final got rid of pesky code P1128, I tried cleaning mass air flow sensor, took off throttle body and cleaned it, only to have the code stay away for a short time, every time I checked my throttle body to intake manifold book clamps, one seemed to loosen, changed the clamps, on the drivers side, cleared the code again, so far after 2 days of driving still good. keeping fingers crossed.
