I missed the chance to kick it, but I did slam dunk it into the garbage can. It was a cathartic experience.

I replaced the AOS, which was one of the both most annoying and gratifying mechanical experiences I've had in a while. It's unfortunate I'll likely never have to do one of these again, because I...

So one thing that isn’t clear to me is that when replacing the dipstick tube, is the one end a press fit? Not the end that is in the trunk, but the end that is towards the engine. It seems like it’s...

This makes sense to me considering how much I felt the engine move before I had the mounts replaced. Thanks for the tip!

This sounds like a humble brag, but honestly this was not a cost saving measure, this was a I-want-to-do-the-work-myself measure. I have found myself without a serious hobby and I am hoping this car...

Well that is disappointing. Can you say a little bit more about why all those things are all at risk? What are they at risk of?

Replacing AOS, noticed broken line

I am currently replacing the AOS, which, by the way, is a pain. There is nothing "difficult" about this job (I have experience doing almost all maintenance on previous cars), but that bottom hose is...

I think I read/saw that the updated AOS requires a longer hose to the second bank, but I don't yet have a part number.

I was hoping that wasn't the case.

What I find peculiar is that I don't get the huge smoking startup I would expect with the AOS failure, but ce la vie, as they say. I now have my first project!

Smoke at high revs (5500+)

Yesterday I finally took the Boxster out for a real workout. I was on a fairly tight, technical road that was mostly 2nd gear with some straightaways into 3rd gear. After about 30 minutes of this,...

One thing I am looking for is the plain unpainted plastic piece that the CF sits on since mine is broken in at least two places. I see from this thread...

Hey all,

My Boxster has the factory carbon fiber package, and I have an issue with the drivers side door pull cover. It appears that the carbon is a thin sheet that is applied over a plastic bit...

Thanks all for the advice. I'm going to use a battery tender, as I do with my other vehicles, and leave it at that.
