Headlights, then GT3 seats, then carbon fiber stuff.

Wink another pic

this one taken with my phone.
Good old 750i Sony Ericsson.

Must say, I'm still learning to drive the Boxster with this new setup.
Car is very grippy with wider wheels/tires but yet feels a bit twitchy at speeds and under braking.
Oh, and it's quite a bit faster..


I think a need to include a model in the pics. What do you guys think?
Besides.. It's a bit silly for passers by to see me taking a picture of just the car..
Hmmm..

Twins

Check our my previous post "Tale of my Twin - Part I".
I don't know how to make a hyperlink to other posts..
Anyway you'll find the pictures there.

Bottomline is, I'm very happy with it so far.

many plans

Regarding de-ambering the lights...
I have thought of it. I wanted to go for the litronics/clear + rear LED (clear/black),
but have paused for awhile with the investments in the Boxster.

I still have the dreaded ingition switch to replace (have the new one laying around) and I have to replace my driver side window regulater (also laying around).

But before this I need to put my house in shape!

Ask and Ye shall receive.

Well I did it.
Took the hard top off.
Struggled but managed to take the soft top off too.
Aside from 3 13mm screws (each side) there are also two black phillips head screws you'll need to take off. On the 13mm i suggest a socked and for the phillips you'll need the shortest screwdriver.
So far managed to only post a small clip (but very high def wide screen).
Will work on the other one, where I rev it all the way.
Go to www.speed12.com/movies.htm .
Good luck.
If there are any problems, let me know.

I'm going to sleep now..
