Just saying "thank you" to you all seems less than appropriate, given that each of you took the time to share your thoughts, experiences, and wisdom to help resolve my problem. Believe me, it is very appreciated.

Re: Rock Chip Bummer

Battle scar. I have worse than that in that area, despite PPF.

I haven't gotten plastic surgery for any of my own scars, and I like myself much more than I like my car.

Quilted you say... :o Will it all be reversible?

Oh, yes. The car probably won't be drivable over 30 mph. Everything will be removable, secured by magnets and a few straps or Command adhesive/velcro strips on the plastic bumpers. It won't be a quilt laid over a car; rather it will be ...

Re: 718'ers | What's your next Mod/Upgrade? Show-&-Tell

As for what's coming this year, it's going to be wild.

My Boxster S is going to become an Art Car for the massive international art car parade in Houston. I am not the artist in charge, and I have left all creative calls to her and her art students. All I know is that the car will be quilted, and ...

Re: 718'ers | What's your next Mod/Upgrade? Show-&-Tell

In the past year, I've done some DIY / home made cosmetic mods. All are reversible back to stock should I decide to sell the car.

Re: Timing Belt Oddity

A couple general remarks:
1. The tension of various segments of belt will vary as the engine rotates. This is because of the varying forces of the valve springs against the camshaft as it rotates. Maybe what you are seeing is normal.

2. Pulleys wear and become out of round. That will cause tension ...
