Coming back to the speedster humps and tops.
Absolutely no problem keeping the top down for months...seems to preserve it even.

Now my problem: While getting the speedster humps ready...I noticed a crack in one of those black thingamagics (s. pic; plastic holder piece, no idea what it is called)
Does anyone know, where to get new ones or have a part number?

Hi Bran,

I found this part number in the Tequip PET. The PET says only one needed but maybe it means one per side. Also found a newer part number (ending in 01 instead of 00) during my search.

It's a pretty bad crack.

I put my engine back in... That temporary junkyard engine didn't last very long at all :D

Went for a fantastic track day at Alastaro Circuit Finland with Porche Racing Club Finland to collect myself approval for a track racing licence -> few races lined up for this summer 😎

Got word that my CLU is repaired and on it's way back to me. Looking forward to working windows, fobs, alarm and the rest of the electrical gremlins going away etc.

Took #317 out for a spin. Obligatory gas station photo.

Finally got a hardtop stand and removed the hardtop for a bit of sunny driving today.

Checked all fluids and aired the brakes as a preventative measure and went for a fantastic day of racing with my Boxster at Ahvenisto Circuit as PRCF (Porsche Racing Club Finland) Time Trial participant :dance:

I actually did, I can’t stand to see stuff like that :cheers:

Wow!

Fred, Max9 and P4f - your cars all look amazing. Each set up a bit different and for different things, but each car absolutely capable of doing what the other does.

Your three cars are a representation of why I'm so addicted to owning, driving, working on and simply admiring these cars.

Cheers to the three of you! :cheers::cheers:

Window Reg
 
Unfortunately nothing as exciting as what some of you lucky guys are doing with those beautiful cars. I replaced the passenger side window regulator this weekend. Oh well, at least I’m happy to be rid of the grinding noise and have my window drop back .

The PO of my car put a fantastic audio system in including Kenwood Double din unit, amp, speakers, etc. while I had the engine cover off doing some cleaning this morning, I noticed the old Bose base speakers behind my head were not plugged in.

Wow, I thought it sounded good before. Now it’s a whole new level! The dealer must not have plugged it back in after the last air filter cha GE or something.

Thanks RT58, it’s a labor of love :)

Swapped in a used engine this weekend. Have some idling issues I posted about in a other thread, but excited to feel it move under its own power again.

I added a bluetooth (phone & music) to the cdr220's cd changer inlet, sounds great.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1c514e4263.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4a0d52e43f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...11692f795c.jpg
