My Boxster is ready. I'll be back on the road soon, hopefully a lot torqueier(sp?).

Mike,

Best of luck to you with your fight against Warranty Direct. Glad to hear you are getting your Box back...

Nick

Good job! Make sure you do a proper engine break-in with the new motor. I would also change the oil at about the 1,000 mile mark.

Way to go! Good to hear you'll be back on the road! Enjoy!

I have a few questions for you:

1) Did you need to have a 6-speed transmission installed since you now have a 3.2Ltr? Or will a 5-speed work with a 3.2 other than beefing on the clutch? Seems like you would not be getting the full benefit of the new engine if you could not use the last gear.

2) Even if you win your case against warranty direct, would they pay for the cost of the 3.2 instead of the 2.7Ltr? Seems like they would only pay for the replacement of the original engine if anything, not an upgraded engine. Hopefully you can at least get the cost of the install back.

Good luck with that!

P.S. Mike are you someone famous? You said selling autographs, yet I don't know who you are?

[FTD]

Vrooom vrooom!!

986spyder,

I think he was selling autographs of famous people he has on ebay. I might be wrong, though

Hey Mike, I think we had a little PM chat a little while back about the autographs you sell on eBay, though I don't recall, where do you get a hold of all these autographs?

[RandallNeighbour]

Maybe Mike is famous himself!

Ever wonder if someone we chat with each and every day here is really Michael J. Fox or Michael Keaton?

However, selling one's own autographs on eBay is a bit cheesy. Reminds me of something I saw on late night TV last night. The host was trying to outbid someone on a pair of jogging pants owned by Gary Coleman... and sold by Gary Coleman himself if I heard right.
