Well yes and no. The hole is for the air jack feed that is right in front of the vent. There are no holes for the vent. It functions as the feed of the heating and air system would - air gets suck...

I put two vents in my Boxster with hoses to the interior from those vents. You don't need to do any scoops - the air gets sucked in well enough. It uses 3 in hose. The ducts were from here and...

I didn't take offense. It's a simple fact that these engines require a LOT of work to address oil starvation. The deep sump and baffle help but don't solve the problem. It's a design flaw of the...

That's the key - high temp performance. Honestly - there is no benefit to it though. Since you're going to be checking and torquing your bolts constantly. On a vehicle where the lug nuts or bolts...

If you are going to continue to do track days - switch to studs and nuts. Also never lube a bolt or stud.

I'd rather have my cage bars closer to the windshield frame anyway. I'd have to cut out too much to make the FIA's work. Since I don't actually race it - I'm fine with it as is.

3.2? That's dirt cheap. Most 3.2 with relatively low mileage around here are $6k+. I'm looking for a 3.6 and they're ridiculous.
