Spark plug tubes, Motul oil change, and cleaned MAF :)

Today I did an oil change. Nice to see no metal on my filter. Although the filter fell apart on me. The previous seller supposedly changed the oil and filter for me at time of sale 10,000kms ago. . I'll let u guys be the judge.

Holy crap! I just changed my oil and filter today as well (about 5,000 miles and 6 months since I last did so), and I can safely say my old filter didn't look like that! Makes me wonder if the car's filter had ever been changed.

Oh Wow Holy ********************

Makes you wonder what other crap he told you that wasn't true???:confused:

Holy Crap - never seen that before!
I think I would do a filter-only change after 500 miles just to make sure there are no bits of filter in the system!

That filter is in bad shape. That's not bad advice and if the filter is loaded with crap, drop the oil again.

That filter looks like it was in for a looooooong time. Probably plugged and passing minimal oil through it. I imagine the oil bypass in the filter got used more than not. I'd recommend getting a new filter housing and replace the one that's on there.

All is good now guys. The filter was in one piece when it came out. It fell apart like the pictures show when I tried to disect it to inspect it. But yeah, I'd say the last 2 oil changes were done with a syphon pump.

I'm cheap, but so are filters. In between oil changes I've checked the condition of my oil by unscrewing the cup and pulling the filter. (Guess I'm still a bit paranoid about the M96s) When I do, I put a new $10-$15 filter in. Hard to understand why anyone would change the oil, but not the filter.

Had a "road force" balancing done along with new front brake pads and rotors. Rebadged both front and back deck lids to original. Applied navy blue Porsche side decals to match the top. I bought the car about a month ago, best bang for the buck I could imagine as cars go. 😋http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1489987207.jpg

Since it was warm it got washed, since it was warm out, we went out and got dirty again...

I agree fully.

I drove it like I stole it! That is the only way to drive it, isn't it?

Hoping to pick it up from the body shop today. :)

Installed a replacement starter from Pelican Parts. Install was a breeze.

Installed new Stabilus hood struts on the front trunk. Easy peasy!

Today I fitted a HID headlight bulb kit that I got a few weeks back. Didn't have the weather up to now so I went out and enjoyed the most of the sunny weather today. They make a big difference to the car.

In the first pic you can see the HID and the standard halogen H7 on the car together. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...63818392d2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c9f40db422.jpg

Looks great! :)
The lack of projectors may cause MOT issues, though.
