Thanks Jay and Ian - Yes, I am thinking about adding a skid plate or something similar to the Bilt Racing guard. My only problem with the Bilt Racing guard is that it seems way overpriced for a slightly bent piece of stock metal plate.
But then, what Porsche racing part isn't way overpriced? |
Are you going to trim your rearmost underbody plastic panel to fit or just leave it off? Mine is off for now, it was so busted up.already it was barely doing anything anyway...

As you can see, the oil returns (both the Boxster stock returns and the 997 returns) discharge "outside" of the vertical baffle. With the horizontal windage tray installed, the oil discharges on top of the tray. Thus, return oil has to flow back thru the doors of the baffle to refill the sump. http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...psdv7ckmaa.png |
Today, I started work on weight reduction. Pulled the front bumper cover and both front inner fender liners.
First, I removed the windshield wiper fluid reservoir and filler neck. The reservoir is inside the rear portion of the driver's side fender and the filler neck god thru the fender to front trunk where the spout is located. Next, I removed the single remaining radiator fan (passenger side). This was a 5 min job with the front bumper cover and inner fender liner already removed. Total weight removed: 8.5 lbs. That's 20% of my 40lb goal! Passenger side radiator - impact "damage" to the radiator from track debris is obvious - need to install some screening behind the bumper cover grills to prevent more damage; http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...psrnjqhdwu.jpg Backside of passenger side radiator with fan removed; http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...ps54zbym4m.jpg Windshield wiper fluid reservoir, fill neck, radiator fan, and a little bit of wiring removed; http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...pslaagjt17.jpg |
Maybe Nutrisystem for the remaining 32 lbs? :rolleyes:
Happy New Year Tom |
I tried to take my wiper fluid reservoir out once and could never get it out (I was trying to route a new hood cable). Now my fluid won't spray, I think something got loosened (pump maybe?) and I need to get under there and fix it. Besides the one bolt, did you recall doing anything special or tricky to remove it?
Thanks Steve |

Once it was off I.looked under there and the hose was off. I reconnected it and all was good. I could see the rubber plugs but was lucky and didn't have to take it off. Thank.you. Steve |
A little more weight reduction today - cleaned up the wiring and tubes in the front trunk and inside the fenders. No need for radiator fan wires, side marker lights, etc.
Weight removed = 1.5lb; that brings the total to 10lbs or 25% of the 40lb goal. http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...psl74afyrq.jpg |

I fail to see how the 997 returns are better returning oil on top??? Perhaps it's a deairation thing?? |
A late Christmas present to myself arrived today!
Sparco Ergo halo seat. 18.3 lbs with no mounting hardware. Found it on sale for $695 (reg $995). http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...pscm9c6f6p.jpg |
Like the Sparco seats, my Pro ADV fit me well in my last car. Nice find!
|
Sweet! And if you can re-use your other mounting hardware from the previous sparco seat, double sweet!
