I'm not certain. My Wiring Specialties harness has a plug that goes to the trans.  Could that be it?

That's probably it? Did yours have a plug available? I was reading the Boxster used a sensor at the wheel off of the cv axle but maybe there's a provision on the case itself?

Do you have any experience with the blu trac tires? The price is attractive and it's time to buy tires.

 

Edit: Couldn't resist, there is a 25% off sale right now so they are on the way

I don't blame ya!  The prices are pretty unbeatable.  I have maybe 100 miles on them.  No complaints.

the Spyder and I had a great run!  Three straight 2nd place Challenge autox finishes, then 2zz swapped and three straight Challenge autox wins.  Last year we even beat all of the over budget cars, all without a pro driver behind the wheel.   A bunch of local event FTD's as well.  She's a ripper!  
 

(3) 22-ish year old dudes rented a U-haul trailer and drove over from Texas. One of the guys is "Mudchicken" here on the forum.   We made the transaction and they're headed straight back to Texas.  They were each grinning wildly after their test drives.   I'll miss the little Spyder but I think she'll be happy with these dudes!  They say they'll be at the Challenge in the future and I offered to drive a run or 2 for them   I hope they show up  ❤️

Awesome!  I'm glad you guys got home safely.  That's a pretty sweet collection you've got there!  Did you guys adjust the driver seat, or just rip it as-is?

resealed and back in its home.  I was able to trim the metal intake gasket.  Honda bond on all of the coolant adapter pieces. I feel better about it.  Feels good to be moving forward again.

All done with the personal touches on the Boxster.  Added a blue cayman rear spoiler, clear side markers, and some yellow film on the headlights that really eliminated any evidence of their haziness. 

 

I tested out a Mobil Pegasus skeleton decal on the fender, but ultimately decided I like it clean better.

Looks great and looking forward to updates on the 914 being leak free.

I was watching a thing on Max Schaaf and they cut to some B roll of what is clearly evidence that you've been in CA.

The Firm hosted another sweet rallyx a couple weekends ago with a large woods portion.  My short course buddy, Nate, picked up a new single seat RZR that was built for racing up at Crandon, WI. I had him by a second after the first stage, but he got used to his new car quickly and was about 2 seconds faster per stage.  Fun battle but he got the win!

Found an interesting speed sensor option for the Haltech ecu.

If you don't mind a bit of DIY there are some tone rings that can bolt to your Boxster flange and I think it's just a hall effect sensor that needs bracketed close to it. I like GPS but sometimes it takes a minute for it to catch up. With that said the Haltech one may be better built than the cheap ones I've experienced before.

I wasn't going to mess with this flywheel cover until after I got the car running.  But I've got a coolant hose that routes right through this gap.  So I figured, let's get it done.  One of my neater little fab projects lately.  


It appears the photos upload fine if I forward them to my work computer first.  Strange.    And a cool Boxster pic, just because I like it.

I've had to modify images taken with an iphone to post on the forum recently. They updated the software and are still working out some kinks.
