Hopefully my new ln lasts longer than that. I’m putting off the heater core for now because I’ll be taking the car on a trip this weekend and don’t have time. Hopefully it’ll last after going through...

I think the cap was the beginning of my problems, that was ignored, and then things went downhill from there. See what the cap does and make sure you refill and get the air out. Something I saw...

Mine looked pretty grimey on the inside, but not the worst I’ve seen. After it had gushed out everywhere I pulled the carpet back around it and saw it running down from the hoses. It’s all soaked...

I think a number of things failed just from pushing the car hard. The car fax shows the pump and thermostat were replaced 30k ago and 5 years ago, but all I could see was silicone gushing out from...

I think it’s original, it’s not horribly discolored like some I have seen, but the inside is pretty nasty looking and stained. I’ll be able to install it tomorrow, weather permitting.

Sorry for late response, I have an 03s. I went with a borla muffler, and full catless, haven’t looked back and love the sound. The biggest surprise was power gains, no drone and no weird noises when...

Cooling problems

Last Monday I took my boxster up to some mountains and was having a great time, until it broke down. It turned out to be the harness on one of the coil packs had come loose. Long story short I...

Modify an aftermarket muffler?

I’ve been poking around with different mufflers and can’t seem to be pleased with any combo I try. I’ve tried two modded stock mufflers (like the fister) but it just sounded like a raspy fart can. I...

I went with b6s and blue H&r springs. Dropped it the perfect amount imo. Way more aggressive looking without looking obnoxious. I won’t lie, it’s very stiff at first. After about 300 miles or so...

You can leave the throttle body on the plenum. Just undo the AOS hose that goes onto the plenum, the rubber boots that attach the plenum to the runners and the one bolt that mounts the tb to the...

I wouldn’t rule out the engine being toast just yet. The rms could have been in it’s way out undetected and the failure just made it worse. I looked at the post jake raby made about the two modes of...

Also check your oil level if you haven’t. I’d pull the throttle body and plenum and see if you still have pools of oil in your intake runners. If you do, just clean it out as much as you can and see...

I’ve never heard of that happening, but it does sound plausible. Ultimately that would be your choice to make, but if it was my car I’d have it towed back home and start pulling the tranny.

Honestly I’d recommend doing the AOS yourself if you’re mechanically inclined. If you don’t trust them, I wouldn’t trust them to clean the oil out of the runners. If they don’t do that it’ll continue...

Do you trust this shop? There’s an internal diaphragm that fails and that’s when it starts shooting oil into the intake. On the outside it’ll look fine. Have you seen the leak from the bell housing...

The oil leak could be the oil dripping all the way down the drain in your airbox, assuming you still have it. That’s what happened with mine as well. Hopefully it’s not the rms leaking.

Also not...

If you had said there was no smoke I would be leaning towards a vacuum leak, but the smoke to me is either AOS or something more serious. I never got any engine lights when mine went even though it...

When my AOS went, I had lots of oil and smoke. It ran awful. It failed in my neighborhood and ingested so much oil that it fried my cats. I’d check that first. See if you can remove the oil cap with...
