Just got my car back today from the shop. I was getting the system pressure tested, the diverter valves checked out and the EVO intercoolers installed. As it turns out, 1 of my diverter valves had kinda vallen apart. My new mechanic, who I am VERY impressed with, discovered that the piece that sticks out to the side, where a hose clamps on, had come loose (another GLUE issue!). None the less he fixed it. He also found a couple of other areas where my local dealer had done a very poor job of connecting the silicone boost hoses and, hence, they were leaking also.

I also got new plugs and replaced a couple of coil packs as a precautionary measure to resolve my reoccuring P0301 & P0305 CEL. My car has never felt so responsive. Boost spools very fast. Now if someone could just make me a dual MAF system, I would be set!

This weekend I'm going to attempt to install my new BBS Aluminum Racing wheels (18x8.5 & 18x12) along with the new RA1s (245 & 335). This will be m y first attempt with a fender roller. Should be exciting!

 

What's a fender roller look like?

I've had the slightest rubbing on the right rear since adding 15mm spacers.

 

It looks a lot like this:

 

Zippy,

Any idea how much a fender roller cost?

 

I bought mine today for C$376.80

 

Where did you get it from? Zippy, you also from Canada?

 

Yes, Ray, I'm in Edmonton. I bought it locally from Paul @ Eurasia Automotive. 1-780-439-6666

 

Me and Ryan "devious996TT" looking for one. Will you interest to sell it to us after your fenders done?

 

Sure. I'll let you know how it goes! BTW, I was out with my wife tonight and saw a Boxster the same color as your car.

 

Great! keep us update. Hopefully you can have a write up with fender rolling! That will be great help for us!!

I saw a lot of bosxter in Pastel yellow, I believe is a standard color for bosxter in 98 to 99. But in Turbo, is color to sample option. Pastel yellow is not for everyone, people either love it or hate it.

 

Zippy.. dammit next time there's something involving send the engine/and/orcar back down with James lol! I'm so glad that got sorted out

 

eWell first congrats on getting the leak fixed, I feel my maf sensor going a bit, sometimes its extremely fast and throttle response as well, other times sluggish, I know its the maf so I'm going to clean it, feels awesome and fresh so I know how you feel As for the fender rolling, my friend had the same machine and it wouldn't bolt onto my hub, the diameter was too small and according to my shop they make 2 adapters , hope you got the correct size! I just rolled my fenders at my shop, did it the old fashion way with a baseball bat and nice and slow, no more rubbing btw I'm jealous of your wheels haha!

 

Thanks Alex. Maybe it's time to open a Sharkworks Alberta sub-branch. With the largest oil deposit in the world, there is definately a fast growing number of guys buying cool cars and upgrading them around here.

 

Hehe I know.. James would LOVE it! Only problem is.. my wife works in NorCal so unless I leave her...

 

i always thought of fender rolling with some one using a baseball bat or some such. my ruf fenders are beautifully rolled, so i just didn't get it.
thanks for posting, as a picture is worth a thousand words.
