Thanks, Al. That was one of the first videos I watched when I first got the car. I like John Salt's videos.

My engine swap thread seems to have metamorphosed into TikTok posts in my absence. I'm still busy setting up my new house and shop, and I want you kids to be on your best behavior while I'm away.

Hi, Al. Those are definitely Boxster Turbo Twist wheels. Which, by the way, are my favorites. If I bought a 986 that had fancy wheels, I'd replace them with Turbo Twists. Hard to improve upon...

I followed a 986 yesterday whose owner had installed a large carbon-fiber spoiler. He obviously liked how it looked, so more power to him. Me? I hated it. The outsized spoiler certainly spoiled the...

Excellent point. I hadn't considered that. But if I don't see the project through to completion my OCD would probably kick in and start nagging me.

I've decided after I install the new engine I'm going to buy a flatbed trailer and just haul the car around instead of driving it. It will eliminate wear and tear on the car entirely!

Thanks, Al. Lots of useful information in there. So far I've towed two fully loaded covered cargo trailers over there, a 6x12 and a 5x9. Only the Porsche remains to be moved.
