Thanks, I'll try that when I get home. If I don't have any luck, I'll proceed with teardown of my intake plenum, I have the blanking plates to delete the SAI loop under it and then I'll get a chance...

Arc-welding shouldn't transfer that much heat to the head if you just weld one tack at a time. You can get a spot-weld with decent penetration and cause no damage, as long as you let it cool down...

That's pretty much what it sounds like. I was hoping it was my belts (because that's what most engines sound like with the hood open), but if it's the chains, I suppose there's nothing to it other...

I don't think Boxsters will become classics in the same vein as the air-cooled 911's or the first-generation Mustangs, but I think they're well on their way to being classics now. They were many...

I run square 215/45R17 snows, looks like your 205/55R17 fronts are 1.3in taller in diameter (or 0.65in radius), which is a 5.1% change, nothing crazy. Your rears are 1.7" taller in diameter (0.85in...

You could get a second set of your current wheels and run 4 rears in Summer and 4 fronts in Winter, that way you're always square and don't have to buy a loose pair of fronts or rears.

It seems like Frodo and JFP have you covered on the answer. I would fill it above the half-way mark, though. It's common practice to fill within 1-2 notches of the top of the display.
