Ever since I picked up my beater Boxster it had this rattle, buzzing sound when I played tunes with a lot of bass. I took apart the rear speaker deck and found out why! It looks like the previous owner must have dropped it as I can see where touch up paint was used. I secured the horn area where it was rattling and will figure how to patch the piece missing. At least for now I can play tunes without the annoying sounds.

Last night I de-snorkeled (and I only lost about 1 pint of blood!) and today my clear side markers go on.

Fitted stainless ebay exhaust, god it's loud and drones like a mofo @ 2500.
But 3000+ it's bloody awesome.! Build quality is crap though, pipes not set right in the jig before welding.

Need to sort out the drone, going to cut up my old box, see how it's constructed and make my own free flowing version biased on that.... Then do a stainless version.
