Had a bad cat so I decided to install Fabspeed sport headers/cats, adds a nice mellow tone and seems to have some extra giddyup
next up will be the Maxflo exhaust

Nice drive in the Heat of AZ

Gave the Boxster a hot trip the last couple days. Drove up to Litchfield Park area west of Phoenix and back. Top down most of the trip except for last 20 miles where I ran into some rain on the way back to Green Valley. Outside temps over 102. Temp gauge never got over what I figured is about 190 deg. Be taking a trip up to Prescott in about a week. Absolutely a fun driving trip. However I did notice my spoiler did not retract when I parked at home. Had to put it down manually.

Understated and very nice. I wish that is all they had done with the new 718's.

Agreed. Understated is classic. The 718 could be the most over-badged vehicle out there today. The name on a car shouldn't be so in your face. Subtle trumps brash all day long in my opinion.

I have left enough room for a smaller 'boxster' logo or '986' - but I may just leave its as is.
