Hi everyone,

I just completed a 7000km road trip with my recently purchased 98 boxster. (BC to Ontario via the southern U.S.)

The car performed extremely well the entire trip. I achieved 25.5-31.8mpg and burned less than 1/2 litre of oil.

The only thing I noticed that seemed out of the norm was that the last few days of the trip I started to notice what sounds to be a chain rattle sound. Only at the first cold start of the day. Anyway, I'll continue reading up on the timing chain tensioners and evaluate going forward.

In the meantime this is one of the most enjoyable cars I've ever owned.
