'Low Speed Event' - last time I had one of 'those' I broke/dropped a valve, but it did not result in that level of carnage.

We see many sales ads for 996 and 997 Turbos listing the eRam Kit as an upgrade. Many of these cars are "bone stock", but list the eRam Kit. Here is an example:

i dont know how the eRamm kit works exactly..was under the impression the actuator switch was controlled by the wires on the microswitches?

or even how its powered.

i will probably look into a gt2 replica wing setup as well

Moved to the top spot on the lift. Time to exercise the Boxster.

Dropped my headlights off at the paint shop for refinishing + proper clear coat.

Had been planning on DIY + spraying on some 2k clear myself, but after reading more about how nasty the 2k clear is, decided it was worth the $ to pay the professionals.

Finally got the last little bits and bobs to start install fo the gearbox. Roger sure does great work. Mating to the engine took a bit more effort than I thought and this isn't the lightest gearbox to man handle by yourself. But got her on and got the engine/gearbox back in the car and mounted. Hopefully I can get through most of the reassembly tomorrow and into fluids. Would love to be back on the road by the weekend.
