The Blurpening, Covid Coping & Returning to Form

[SlimKlim]

A little pocket to drop it in on the passenger's side of the console would do the trick.

So I got a small piece of lexan, and a little cheap cell phone "wall mount" kit, and small pack of furniture bumpers. Now I've got a spot to drop my phone while it's connected to the head unit where it won't slide around.



I noticed my left outside CV boot was seeping from under the clamp, after seeking advice from the DJ & Taylor oracles I got a new clamp, stuck some more grease in there and cinched it down a bit tighter, hopefully it holds up, I caught it super early so it shouldn't be any worse for wear. 





I also changed the engine oil, which was BLACK, and changed the transmission fluid which was due based on age.




One of the common issues with these cars is collecting leaves n shit in the corners of the radiators that get gross and moldy over time. Rocks can also damage the radiator fins, and a lit cigarette butt would be bad news, so I cleaned out all the leaves and acorns wedged in front of the radiators and installed a mesh kit. 





The stock shifter in this car is fine, but only just fine. The 3/4 and 5/6 gates are right next to each other, and the squishy rubber bushings that connect to the transmission make it hard to tell which is which. I installed the Function First "Shift Right" Kit on the factory shifter which replaces the plastic lever & bearings with metal, and the numeric shifter cables which have a solid connection to the transmission. Each shift has a satisfying snick-snick sound and completely positive, mechanical feeling engagement now.







I've been looking at a lot of exhaust options, i really want something that just adds some tone and a bit of burble when coasting down but I don't want anything nearly as aggressive as the Soul Performance setup on Matthew's Boxster. In the meantime I threw an AFE filter in after seeing enough people say it changes the sound, and it definitely makes a slight improvement in the tone on acceleration. 



My rear tires only had a couple mils before they were on the wear bars and the highway noise was kind of awful. I replaced the OE spec PS2s with Michelin P4Ss, and I sent the wheels out to have them powdercoated in Porsche aluminum silver.
