Your rear swaybar is loose, that is probably where all the vibration and noise is coming from. Handling is probably off too.

I keep getting an O2 code too

I got the new mount from pelican and pressed it in using my bench vice. The new mount is the 987 mount and looks to be more robust than the old 986 mount. I didn't take notice to any color dots but did notice it was made in Korea.

I got a chance to finally see what my box can do and I think I'm hooked. A friend who regularly auto-crosses invited me out to an event not too far from my house.

I don't own a helmet and had to use the loaner helmet

That was sooooo fun! I did come out realizing what I need to do to my box to improve it's performance. Starting with my own helmet and followed by tires. My tires sucked. They were the biggest problem that I saw and they had me sliding all over the place. I wish I got video of my third and fourth run. I'm pretty sure I had all four tires sliding like I was at a drifting event.

Here's my friend's race boxster doing the same practice track.
