first oil change...

Did my first oil change this past weekend- have only put 2500 miles on the car since I bought it from Vincent and drove it home to SC from NYC- Car now only has 38,000 miles on it. Oil filter was clear of any metallic so next time I will do a blackstone report, but for now we will drive another 2500 miles then report back.

I do think I will need to do the struts and wonder what you guys think about options here , these 20 year old shocks are really soft compared the the bilestine I have on my 914 and would like similar performance as I do like to drive a bit and will have her out on the 2.1 mile Robeling Road Raceway for DE in December.

running pilot sport Michel. tires, original wheels-17"x7 front and 8 rear -

Thanks! otherwise car runs like new and AC is super ice cold! (car had a $3,000 service before being sold )

Which one are you going to? Roebling is my home track (with Florida Crown) and I go there 4-5 times a year. If you are going to the Coastal event December 2-3 I don't think I am going to be able to make that one though...

Yes I was going to try and go to that one- I live in Bluffton SC so right around the corner! about 20 miles away.
I was going to take the 914, but its going in for a repaint, - I just need new shocks on the boxster before Dec- it will be my first DE:dance:
