Thanks, I agree.
However they looked better before Tire Tack gouged and scuffed them while mounting the PS4S tires.

Put it on the lift and removed the subwoofer and frunk trim to get ready to swap out coilovers tomorrow.

Installed a set of MCS 1WNR coilovers.









Bilstein PSS9's came out. I think a local friend is buying them but if he doesn't, they'll be up for grabs.

Josh, what's your ceiling height there? 3 bay, or 4 bay? Beautiful garage!

Thanks! It's a 3 bay, with separate doors for each bay. The far right bay has my motorcycle lift, which is inset into the floor so I can remove the wheel chock and still park a car over it. That's what the old PSS9's are sitting on. Center bay has 13 1/2" feet of ceiling height and is where the Bendpak 4 post lift is, garage door has a jack shaft opener so the door clears the lift. Far left bay is "normal" and is where my wife parks. Floor is plastic tiles, which are perforated. Those I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do again, I regret not having the floor professionally epoxy coated before we moved in. The perforations in the tile make it so you don't slip on them in the winter, which is great, but also allow everything through them. Which makes them impossible to clean up unless you unsnap them and pressure wash them in the driveway, then reassemble inside the garage. So I'd probably do solid plastic tiles that I could pressure wash and squeegee off instead.

For me to have the garage coated now is just too much work, I'd have to move everything out of it and into storage somewhere, then everything back inside again when they were done....

Very nice! I really want 13 foot ceilings, but alas, I'm stuck with 9.5, but it should be enough to stack the Lotus and the Carrera...

Did some preventative maintenance on the nice car, the Midnight Blue one.
Flushed the brake fluid, flushed the brake fluid in the GT2 clutch setup.
Replaced the passenger's window regulator as it was getting crunchy.
Changed the oil and filter, only 87 miles on the oil in the last 2 years. I really like this car, I just never drive it.

I'm also working (playing) with window regulator due to loose cable. Window lower only by 1/8 of an inch when door handle switch activated....Solution? I bought a new regulator but while waiting for delivery I am trying the bicycle brake lever adjuster 6mm instead of the green plastic bushing on each side of the lower part of the regulator...

Please post how that solution works out for you. I have the exact same issue with my '97 Boxster and am just about to pull the trigger on a new lift unit. Thanks!

Is there a diy for replacing the window regulators? My passenger side window is beginning to make a little noise. So strange that it's that side, I'd think the drivers side would wear out first...

Thanks, looks pretty easy. What gets "crunchy" on the regulators?
