There's 2 ~4" scoops that protrude from the plastic undercar covering, they get in the way of being able to directly install the oil plate, which you need to do, to get a single contact seal. I test fit mine a few times, ended up cutting off both scoops flat with a cutting wheel. I know, the horror, don't intend to do over 120 with the car. lol. With them gone, it's a direct insert. 7ft/lbs, or should i say 84 in/lbs. If you don't own in/lb wrench, get one. Even a cheap in/lb wrench will be way more accurate than a ft/lb wrench at these minimal values. Got the LN screw in filter adapter, running Mobile one 'Extened performance' Oil, which is apparently one of the only 'True Synthetics' left out there. Purring like a kitten! :dance:
Dude you are creative i'll give you that! I mean why take the time to unscrew 6 screws and remove that cover as designed by a bunch of unworthy engineers when you have a cutoff wheel that needs use. Definitely thinking outside the BOX.

Well, they're easily replaceable, which was part of my thought. I'll probably buy a replacement, and sit it on the shelf, I found a really astounding Porsche yard about 60 min away. Walked through there when i got a glass window top (for $350), complete. They got allot of Boxsters, say they get 3-4 different Porsches a day. Met the owner, German guy, knowledgeable, i'd say. Plus, i'm not doing Le mans this week, So, no remorse.

Well ok LeMans is out for the week. But if you look at the design of those scoops you cut off you'll see they are not scoops. They are reversed and draw COOL air up into that extremely hot engine compartment in an attempt to cool it off. They become quite necessary during summer driving LeMans or not.
