Cool Bed Time

I put the old boy to bed for the winter. Changed the oil first and put the humidity bags in the cockpit. Its got 93,400 miles on the counter original IMS, RMS and water pump. Next thing to do will be to inflate the tires to around 45psi, put the charger on and take the wipers off .

Repleced both of them with a generic resistor I bought on ebay.



They were both dead. Been driving the car around for about a week. It runs cooler now by 15-20 degrees.

Drove my 98 Boxster to Kaiser and dropped off my final Semen sample. After two vasectomy I am free and clear. Yep...I said two vasectomy. Apparently I had millions of super sperm. Two years of samples and today's sample came back negative!

Drop Link Replacement

Yesterday my replacement drop links arrived from "autochassistaiwan". So I got straight to it and changed over the rear links that afternoon. This morning I jack the font up and lo and behold they have sent me the wrong front links. Between the time I placed the order and the time I received them they have amended the listing by removing where it says suits the Boxster. When I sent them a message they replied saying they would refund half but whAT i want are the correct links.

Bummer

see the listing here https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-FRONT-2-REAR-SWAY-BAR-LINKS-PORSCHE-911-99-05/332289525464?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
