I know it is difficult to comment with only 2 samples, but so far I am strictly limiting myself to 3 track days between oil changes. For convenience, 4 track days would be dramatically better. Both of these samples have approximately 3 track days plus miles to and from the track. Am I able to extend to 4 track days?
Forget it. That thing is destin to blow any second...

Oh wait, those results are really good. I would be comfortable going at least one more track day, if not two.

Gotta love a clean bill of health.

Thanks Scott! Sorry still not planning any rally cross days, regardless of the oil!

You don't know what you're missing, Randy.

You're welcome to get a ride, when I do though...

I change the oil to track specific before the day and back to street oil after. Just like tires, I consider it a consumable and a cost of the sport.

Definitely agree that is the best way, and when I trailer the car, that will be the plan. For now, I am trying to use an oil for both street and track purposes.

That is really a great step forward and I would echo the question about what product/process gave such superb results?

Installed a new airbox on my 1999 C2. It fits without having to move the secondary air injection pump

The secondary air pump on my MY2000 looks a lot different. So does the angle. I wonder if I would have to move mine.

Did you use the snorkel from the 3.4 airbox?

I have this same setup with a 997 3.6 airbox with a 996.2 3.6 snorkel on a 2002 and it fit without any adjustments or movement of other components. What is so interesting to me is that it uses the same filter and plugs right into the throttle body like it was made for it.

Front bumper, hood, front fenders & rear bumper respray. Decided to keep my C4S for a while as it really does everything I need and it needs some serious TLC. Is mechanically sound (and should be, with how much I've put into it!), so the exterior should match and not be bashful whilst attending GTG and other events. Looking forward to a full ceramic coating + paint correction detail after.

I reused the 3.4 snorkel which fits well.
