Yesterday, I removed the stock throttle body and plenum, along with an EVOM air intake, and replaced
it with a 997 IPD throttle body and plenum, and a custom carbon fiber ram air intake.
(setup was made from a fellow forum member)
during this process, I ended up breaking a "vent line / oil separator "
( part number 996-107-146-00)
I did not put tape on it... new one coming in tomorrow ($55 from dealership)
It was tough, but hands down the best upgrade I've done so far!

Images snipped! I broke the little vacuum fitting off mine (second one I've broken, btw.) Using a proper bit of brass tubing, I slipped it in, jammed it together and glued it all with Rhino glue and baking soda. Better than new! If I were you, I'd try to mend the old one as practice. Rhino glue is fancy superglue, btw. Used it to glue the window back in on my New Beetle convertible.

I'm not gonna lie, I broke that piece on both ends, and in the middle! you'd think the tubing on it would be more flexible like an accordion, but nope! I used duct tape, super glue and electrical tape to make it look more presentable  just temporary til the new part arrives tomorrow

Steamwashed all carpeted interior parts (floor carpet, vertical behind the seats, above the engine and also the capet on the storage box above engine) and like magic - the brownish color of dirt is gone and the original grey color is back :dance:

Bought some 987 Cayman S wheels on Kijiji a while ago, mounted Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and put them on my 2001 Boxster S yesterday. Upgrading from the stock 17 inchers. Lovin the look and feel. No appreciable deterioration in ride quality and car shows quicker turn in and less understeer. Wasn't expecting a win/win, but I'll take it!

Finished spraying my front bumper. Ocean Blue Metalic. Looks like great match from Roberts Paint care. Front bumper cover took 3 rattle cans of paint and 2 rattle cans of clearcoat. It's gonna make the car look a whole lot better than primer look I've been sporting for about 2 years!
