Awesome book Wayne! My wife ordered through Amazon as a Christmas present or I would have requested the signed copy.. Oh well. Its a wonderful resource and I suspect it will be even more useful as boxsters get older.. Everyone buy a copy!

If you have 5 minutes, can you please put in a review onto Amazon.com?

Thx,

Wayne

Just received my copy from amizon last night. This thing is awesome! I've been searching for the "right" Boxster S for a while now and I'll feel a lot more confident making a final decision with this book in hand.

I'll be getting feedback to amizon.com for review. Great job Wayne!

Lucky you! Seems the book is selling very well as mine is on back-order and no ETD from Amazon Int'l...
Unfortunately, buying direct through Pelican = int'l shipping fee priced higher than the book itself!
Too bad...

It's about $15-$20 to ship the book (3+ lbs) Internationally.

I was just informed by a reader of my book that Project #17 is somewhat unclear with respect to the torque values used to tighten the idler pulleys. I just added this information to the corrections page on http://www.101projects.com/Boxster/corrections.htm :

Page 81, "Replacing Belt Tensioners", the torque values listed for tightening the pulleys require additional clarity. Tighten the pulleys to the following values:

Upper Pulley:
- 34 ft-lb (46 Nm) for the upper bolt if it's an M10x145 (8.8) bolt
- 48 ft-lb (65 Nm) if it's an M10x145 (10.9)

Lower Pulley:
- The lower pulley is tightened to 17 ft-lb (23 Nm) only

Really Wayne? I wish this was the case because I would have ordered from Pelican w/o any hesitation.
See below and tell me what I've done wrong...(living in Tokyo-Japan)

Let me find out - maybe there's something extra-expensive about Japan. Those rates come straight from the USPS API.
