Woah! how do you keep you car so clean Orient?

That looks cleaner than factory delivered!

Amazing.

It actually is cleaner than factory delivered because I removed all of the Cosmoline, and clean and polish the undercarriage. Not bad for a 65K mile car. The car always wins top prize at any Concours it is entered in.

What is your regimen for cleaning? I want a clean car like that! My '99 Boxster had engine failure at 55K which dumped some oil all over. Dealer replaced engine but didn't clean the rest off very well. Now there are lots of dirt on oil.

Promocanthus,

I asked Orient about his regime for cleaning as well. This was his reply...

He removed the cosmoline (not sure what he used to remove it.)

He pressure washes the underside of the car twice a year.

He uses Simple Green and wipes everything off by hand. For the engine compartment take out the air box and stuff a rag in the throttle body. Make sure to cover the alternator with plastic as well.

I bought some of the heavy duty Simple Green and it works well. Did the engine compartment. Going to start my cleaning process on the rest of the car once the rain stops here.

Happy cleaning!

Phillipj

here are some pictures of my M030 install:

I'm curious about your M030 springs (and mine). According to the

shop manual and parts catalog, the top color line is supposed to be

either green or white, and refers to the tolerance group for the spring.

The proper thickness compensation plates are supposed to match the springs.

Anybody know what's up with these other colors?

(I'm talking about the top color line here, not the two lines at the

bottom that describe the application)

Thanks,

Bill

Different models, coupe, targa, cab have different springs because of the different weight of the cars.

That's what the two color swipes at the bottom of the spring signify.

I'm asking about the compensation group.
