Once you are sure your repair money can be used for pleasure, search on the underpulley or go to RSS and check it out, no exhaust mod, best bang for buck, especially on non S 986. Enjoy the car and post pics, we never get sick of looking at Boxsters.

I had a local shop inspect the whole car and they said the Control Arms are shot. I don't need more adjustable CA's but if there is a better design that that maybe saves weight or improves ride I would go for it.

The CEL's were cleared and I drove it for a 25 miles trip and they have not come back.

I do have what sounds like a loose heat shield that needs attention and a broken E-brake assembly and microswitch. busted wiper stalk, floppy sun visor, bad microswitch causing the window to move at random. Nothing major thankfully but I am going to work my way through the list.

I would like to add the Robotop, RSS Pulley, 9x7 short shifter kit.
