I've always had an interest in film so I chopped up a retro film poster.

I got pissed off at it today. After an entire days worth of maintenance, it still runs like crap. See OUCH!!! thread in General Discussions.

Replaced all the OEM yellow interior bulbs with white LEDs. Changed the wheel caps back to silver with black crest.

9.5 quarts of Mobil delvac 1, and 3 quarts of Redline 75w90ns.
Pretty easy job.

My 2.7 took 9.3 or so today...2 digital bars from top of recommended range after running it for a while and waiting 10 minutes.
Do 2.5/2.7/3.2 hold slightly different amounts? I followed your thread and certainly know that you know your stuff.

Today I replaced a water pump and put in a 160f thermostat on the Black 99. As I drained the old coolant, it was clearly not Porsche coolant and had more sediments in it than I'd ever like to see. After running some distilled water through it, I refilled with Prestone rather than wasting the good stuff. I'm going to flush it again after about 500 miles or so.
...Oil: while I got the coolant I saw a great deal on Castrol Edge 5W-50 @ $4 a quart and grabbed all 8 quarts they had. I spent about 20 minutes researching it on my phone as I stood there in the aisle. I think it will be okay in a Boxster, but I dare not start another oil thread to mention it.

Sacrilege... I gained foot room...ask me how
Danger, Sacrilege and advanced modification ahead.
So I rotated the fuse box up to the lip the OBDI-II port is on...
I hope my fuses don't fall out now it's facing down.
so.
moved the port elsewhere. used it's hole towards the middle and drilled a second 3" towards middle, re-used it's screws into two holes the carpeted cover screwed into, cut a bit of the ziptie channel off...
Had to massage the air duct a bit to squeez the box up there, but it's soft plastic.
took a bit to gently and slowly flex the wiring loom into the new position
(removed old wrapping, & combed it w/ my fingers)
easier w a heat gun I'd think (but carefully) on duct.
them trim down side cover to a sliver to protect the loom from your foot on entry.
To do it again, I'd heat the wiring loom a bit too when flexing it into new location.
then wrap in tape.
now a totally hidden fuse box, and tons more foot space.

Mounts from stock sliders to buckets
My pal gave me a set of corbeau's glass buckets that actually fit my shoulders.
So, adapter plates to the stock sliders, and trim down the stock belt mounts too...
;-) Joy Shoulder room for ages.
and a "better" (for me) seating position.
I love a car that is awesome yet cost me next to nothing, I feel free to do as I please.

Hope so! My car is at the indie today to try and sort out the lack of heat problem I'm having (no heat and foam blowing from the vents - needs repair air mixer) in this former FL car.
BTW, my Box is Midnight Blue Metallic. Its one of those colors that changes depending on the light, shadows, camera, etc. It does look black at times. Also, purple.
