Got some bugs but should be all tidied up soon enough.

I saw the video last night on Facebook, unless there is someone else who just finished the same engine swap. I had to have the volume off though as my wife was already asleep. Nice work!

Yeah, that's me. I can't figure out how to upload a video on this website. I'm terribly incompetent when it comes to technologies (hence the carb sitting on top LOL).

She's really coming along. I looked up some of the wire diagrams while I was bored at work today. I think I'm just gonna hot wire the cooling fans directly to the 4 relays under the dash with a thermoswitch on the block.

I used my new Foxwell nt 510 elite ODB to read and reset air bag warning light! Worked great. Error was actually the driver's seat belt - low voltage is my guess based on other posts and my scenario of starting the engine without my seat belt on... triggering the seat belt alarm and a low voltage hit on the related air bag warning system.

So, bought a can of Deoxit 5 electrical contact cleaner and applied it to the seatbelt receptacle and connection to the bar under the seat as noted in other posts. Magic!

Washed & cleaned my Boxster and took a lenghty drive around southern Finland. Then placed it to hibernation for the winter after this driving seasons 21701km (approx. 13484mi) and it was smiling each km with this car

Planning to do some maintenance work on the car during winter :dance:

I drove it up and down the street between rain showers. Roads were wet so I was able to hoon around a bit in a local empty parking lot. Have a hard time breaking away with the 2.5l engine and sticky 265s in the rear. So the wet roads make it easy.......And fun.

Also, cant say enough about Ben's SSK. Really changes the feel of the car!
