I think you could squeeze abnother 40k out of that air filter.

In all honesty, seeing that would scare the crap out of me regarding if any servicing has been done on this thing. I would have that thing totally gone thru. Good luck, I hope you don't have a nightmare on your hands.

Looks better than mine did! Last Feb I bought a 99 Boxster with 72k. The air filter was crumbling as I took it out. I vacuumed the box with my shop vac. Care ran MUCH better. Don't know how people can buy these cars and not take care of them!

Mikesz,
I agree. Btw, is that your car in the avatar picture? If so, where did you get the speedster humps? I've been looking for a pair on line but they're too pricey.

Holman, I know, that's why I put in the title for this thread "Change your air filter" - there are probably some even worse ones than mine out there.
