Mine does that exactly as you describe. I think I recall something about vario-cam action at that speed. I do know that mine has made this sound since the day I got it and no ill effects.

As you know, this stuff is highly subjective. It might be slightly "cooler", but its not blue, and that is anything but cool in my opinion. Visibility seems better. This is real world, seat of the...

I like the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs. I replaced my two high and two low beam bulbs. Could have also replace the fog light bulbs as well but opted against it to save a little green. The...

I had tried all the obvious except for swapping the bulbs. The simultaneous burnout just seemed too far out.

If there is even the slightest question in ones mind, why would you use something that would save $20 on your $20K car. I just don't get it. Go with the same formula that the factory uses.

Thanks for the suggestion. I too was a 914 fan back in the day. A 1.8 but nicely tuned and fun like the Boxster in similar ways. Another thought I had, but I haven't tried is talcum powder. Like...

Normal to me also. If I don't hit the lock button on the remote, the lights eventually go out.

The engineers who wrote the ECU software had too much time on their hands or perhaps this was done...

Re: Boxster S Lug Bolts
