Cleaned out the radiators today, 2 weeks ago got some Continental Extreme Contacts, way less noisy than the Pirelli Rossos.

The term "Outlaw" is quite fitting.

Will the look get you any respect in downtown Boston?

The only thing I have to say is- It Works!

Are those factory that you were lucky enough to find or some aftermarket skirts?

I put in the front trunk the new liner from Porsche and took the family to the beach

Look, not sure but the sound should clear them out of the way well in advance of my arrival.

Thanks man.

I took them off this

Nice. I have been watching for aero parts but not having any luck. May have to start looking aftermarket.

For sideskirts, wait until Black Friday sales.
I bought my OEM Porsche Aerokit II Sideskirts from Sunset Porsche 2 years ago during Black Friday sale and saved a ton!
They ended up as cheap as aftermarket, but fit perfectly without any modifications.

Interesting. I would never have guessed that any Porsche dealer would have a Black Friday Sale. I will watch around that time but not overly optimistic. I had read somewhere that new parts were not available and that fining NOS was like a barn find.

Congrats on the find.

While waiting for the 2x rubber grommets (999-500-206-00) to replace the the old ones which disintegrated when I removed the Smog pump to fit the new engine motor mounts - I decided to clean the airbox while off the car. It's a good job I did!

Quite a bit of sand in the snorkel and in the lower part underneath the filter, I guess due to the car being in AZ for the last 15 years. A dead wasp and twigs also removed .
Paper filter was dirty. (ordered new K&N from Amazon).
More concerning, the lower bolt holding the MAP sensor was missing. I dread to think how much Arizona sand leaked thru the hole... Ordered two new bolts (999-919-160-07) from local Porsche dealer.

Q: There is a compartment on top of the airbox that hits a dead end. What is this for? To create turbulence to help mix in gasoline later on?

Showed my 2000 C4 Cab to a prospective buyer. No deal yet.

The upper cubby I sourced directly from the local dealer for about 40 euros. They had the best price.
The lower cubby I also replaced since my old one was cut up. These are cheap on eBay as much less in demand vs. the upper one.

I think this setup looks decent and more importantly gives much needed space for phone(s), wallet etc., specially on cars without a glovebox like mine. With the Aux cable right there it's the perfect place to drop in the phone.

Not sure exactly what compartment you are referring to...maybe the Hemholtz Resonator? The extra short tube that connects to the air filter box?
Oh..forgot to add..is the K&N filter one of those that require oil? Not a good idea as the oil coats the MAF sensor and ruins it. Only use a paper filter.
