Wait so you think the m96 is a good design?

Yeah right. This engine is one big mistake

Wait a sec....
Who said ANYTHING about design? Perhaps you might want to reread post 1.
The mechanic didn't say all M96 motors were trash, just the 2.5L motor.

They are all trash, 2.5 to 3.8 (m97) and everything in between

well, it would certainly have an engine that received much better engineering work

Have we all retrofitted our imsb for nothing then?!

Finally got a few pics. Too busy enjoying the ride.
Definitely not a stock color but lots of personal significance.
Look forward to seeing you on the road!!

I am sure the cops will notice it! Keep your speed down! Or else!

I recommend putting some screens on the radiator intakes. That's an aftermarket bumper so you'll probably have to make some to fit. You're also going to have to remove the bumper to do that. That would be a great time to clean out between the radiator and condenser.

EJFrog 08-25-2017 09:10 AM

Working on the screens after Harvey visits. Thanks for the recommendation.

Not sure how closely you've been watching the weather but I've heard the weather person say as much as 45 inches in some spots. That's the extreme but lots are predicted to get 24 inches. I highly suggest getting your boxster under some cover to keep from water getting inside the cabin and ruining the immobilizer under the seat.
