Many reviews said they were crap and not easy to install. Well, I found the plastic to be a bit cheap compared to OEM. And they didn't have that small rubber piece used as a drain on the originals. But if you used a long screwdriver to push the clip in, it was less then a 5 minute job for both sides.

But I can't complain about how they look, especially on the Meridian Metallic paint job.

Next job is going to be light savers.
i'm happy to take credit for influencing this mod when you saw my car last week...

I hunted down the manufacturer of the AP units and got the three inch core version for about $420 CDN per unit. I will be putting them under pressure for a month then will be coating them with a thermal dispersement prior to installation.

Upon first glance, the cores appear to be identical to the EVOMS units I split, but I'll have a closer look over the weekend, if energy allows....

Pretty happy with the price point though.

Since last I reported about my coil pack/plug swap, I can’r say enough about how much better the car runs. I also cleaned the MASF and swapped the Fuel filter, but the car is night and day different in drivability.

As beautiful as the mountains are, the potential of conflict with wildlife scares me a bit.

Uncovered the ol gal in prep for sub 110 degree weather! Looking it over after a period of time passes makes me realize what a nice job Porsche did on these machines.

Surprisingly little traffic down by the beach today, still only making .6 bar, but a fun drive nonetheless.
