I think they meant to post something like this:

EDIT:

Well ****************. That doesn't work, either.

If you go to Amazon and paste this in the search bar, you'll get a few results: B07YBWNCZV

Weird, the link works when I click it, but not when I paste it. Just search Amazon for this: Topec 25Pcs Screw Extractor Set, Hex Head Multi-Spline Easy Out Bolt Extractor Set, Premium CR-MO Steel Rounded Bolt Remover

Thanks. Found something similar in a tool shop nearby. Gonna try it when new plug arrives.

Noticed a small oil leak. After getting it up in the air, to my relief, it wasn't the RMS, but the spark plug tubes. Since I had three lying around, installed in Bank 1. After 26 years, the small o-rings were squashed flat. I'll get three more and preemptively do Bank 2.

Corrected my ignition steering lock sticking when the key was removed.
I pulled the key tumbler, and removed the electronic portion on the back of the switch.
Worked the locking rod with a screwdriver and some silicone lube until the locking bolt was freely moving.
Reassembled ignition and tested like new

Just installed the OBD Gauge P10 Pro in my 986 Boxster S. Main reason was to get oil temp since these cars only show water temp from the factory. Oil takes way longer to warm up, and I like to wait until it's ready before driving hard.

The display also gives me A/F ratio, RPM, voltage, throttle position, engine load, and a bunch of other live data. It even does 0–60 and stopping distance measurements, plus it works as a code reader and live diagnostics tool.

Install was easy — plugs right into the OBD2 port and powers on with the car. I mounted it low next to the dash so it stays out of the way.

Nice little upgrade if you like having more info while you're driving.

After some recent work on my 2000 S i did a road trip to France with my old man. Didn't get many photos of the car unfortunately as i was busy driving some fantastic roads.

Work done.
Replaced lowering springs with new standard height items
Replaced the aftermarket cans, which were knackered and stupidly loud, with a used standard back box including cat. This also helped us to get it running sweet because it was off on one bank. As a bonus fuel economy is massively improved and i can hear myself think when i'm driving.
Also had rear discs and pads.
Goes like a good un

So i did a thing.......



It's been a long process cause I messed up my shoulder shortly after starting back in September and am still recovering. I pulled it to do cam guides/chains and "while I'm in there things." This is the biggest project I have ever undertaken, never pulled an engine let alone one our of the middle of the car. It wasn't hard but did take me a long time(outside of the shoulder). Wish me luck....

Installed bank one camshafts and not trying to set timing. I fear my cheap Chinese cam tool copy is inadequate.

Put the car into winter storage... sigh! Now it sits with stab-il in the tank, tires pumped up, covered, and lonely while I dream of Spring and many happy, top down miles to come.

[Newsguy]

Changed oil and washed then put away the 99 for the winter.

Had an issue for the first time in years. Rattle and squeaks on startup. Dumping coolant.
Diagnosis: water pump failure.

Now I have to remember how to work on this thing...
