I'm jealous of all you warm weather rennlisters to the point of wanting to sell my Chicago house. Grrr... I hate winter. Just a few more weeks right??

Winter's icy grip is starting to give it up here in NYC. Visited my car in storage. Started to get her ready for action.

I ordered Kevin's tune and the parts finally came (OBD2 plug-in, new plugs, MAF, wideband O2, and coil packs). Well, they came while I was out of town last week, and I was finally able to get them from the post office today.
I am getting so excited!

I drive my car every day during the winter (4 Blizzaks), and it's been great. At 88,000 miles, I needed a new alternator and new headlight switch. But, it's a fantastic foul weather car. Best investments were 1.) the car (02 X50), 2.) PSS10's, 3.) Kevin's tune, 4.) Europipe (hint, everything after #1 was Kevin's suggestion) AS

Put the new bumpers on the rear to update the car. Looks great. Thanks Eric@ bumper plugs! I do wish I had a lift in the garage!

Looks great, can you provide a link on where I can pick one of these wheels up? I got my car inspected today. It's actually my third drive in the car since January. All I need to say is the car feels great. I replaced the shifter with a 997 shifter and love how it feels. I am getting use to the shifting points and the speed that the motor revs. I had the car parked in my drive way and had to pinch myself. I bought my boxster in 2002 and dreamed of getting a turbo at the time and now I'm driving it.
