1998 Boxster Project - Complete Restoration

[drbodzin]

Been busy working on the engine mods for this project.

Details of mods are here: Oil Leak - Pulling Trans to change RMS, IMS, Clutch, etc

What's been done thus far.

• New RMS
• New LN IMS Dual Row Ceramic Bearing
• New Flywheel
• New 987 Clutch Disc and Pressure Plate
• New Throwout Bearing, Tube and Main Seal
• Upgraded Oil Cooler to larger "S" model
• Installed Cold Air Intake (until Super Charger gets installed later this year)
• New Water pump
• New Low Temp Thermostat.

Should be completing the install of the center radiator next week.

So today I finally finished all the work I had planned. Took longer cause I kept having to order parts and it took time to get them.

Today I finished installed the center radiator. Got her all back together and took her for her first drive.

The new 987 clutch feels amazing. The sound coming from the cold air intake is deep and throaty. Very happy to get to drive her again. Tomorrow going on a driving tour with PCA Zone 8.



Painted the metal bumper black so it did not show with the bumper cover back on.



New, larger diameter coolant pipes.





Had to splice together the smaller coolant hose to the large diameter coolant hose using a 1" to 0.5" copper plumbing adapter form hardware store.

I changed spoilers and had steering wheel covered with Alcantra and Leather.

Very excited that I finally got time to start the install.

Finally got a good picture of the ghost graphics. So hard to capture the graphics on a camera.

Today, I finally fired the engine up for the first time since getting the supercharge installed. Waiting on more engine coolant I had to order. When it arrives, I will be ready to do some more testing. She sounded awesome, I must say!

I'm curious as to which subwoofer you used on the project. Very nice work that was done.
Nevermind, saw that it was the InPhase sub. Thanks
