I'm 90+ % certain I saw 'for sale' ads from him where he mentioned moving out of the country. This was several months ago.

Jack the car up and spin the wheels. 3 of mine were smooth. The bad one sounded like the bearing was packed with sand. On the frwy there was also an obnoxious grating whining sound. When I got it...

I've done the rear bearing but don't remember about the support. That's the least of your worries though. But you do need to remove the inner cv joint. After removing the 32mm axle nut you'll need...

What does 10% ethanol do? It causes you to pay more to drive a shorter distance.

The purported justification for the use of ethanol in that reduces reliance on petroleum is not true. While it...

I don't notice a change in performance.

As for the M030, the car is finally at its potential for the first time in the 4 yrs I've owned it. I'd thought about Tarett bump steer pieces and PSS9,...

I got one of these Fabspeed bypass things, but no 3-hole triangle gaskets were supplied. When I check Pelican they are not listed. Same at Vertex. How come? Are they not required?

How do you know they were the wrong ones? My m030 front springs were orange top, red/ylw bottom. The rears were white top, silver/red bottom. How about yours?

How about those spacer things?

Verdict: ROW m030 is not harsh. This is how I would expect a boxster to come from the factory. This isn't like how you might expect a race car to be at all - it is totally suitable for daily...

A self-described novice won't be doing this job (properly) in 8 hrs. Someone with experience and extensive tools including power tools and lift, maybe.

For my separator I needed to jack up the suspension although the car is already in the air. This I believe allows a little extra room to insert the tool. My T40 bit just flew off into space so I'll...

"Tolerable" is subjective. Is there anyone out there who has gone from stock to Eibach, or from Eibach to ROW M030 who can describe the difference?

Actually, mine is a 986S. I didn't know much about boxsters when I bought it and somehow assumed a 987 was an "S". Anyhoo, I'll post some pics before work starts, probably friday.

Nice looking car. The downside is tending to the paint properly could cost half the price of the car. Also, and this is just my opinion, while the 80's 911s are good cars, they're not modern...
