I'm not certain. My Wiring Specialties harness has a plug that goes to the trans. Could that be it?

That's probably it? Did yours have a plug available? I was reading the Boxster used a sensor at the wheel off of the cv axle but maybe there's a provision on the case itself?
Do you have any experience with the blu trac tires? The price is attractive and it's time to buy tires.
Edit: Couldn't resist, there is a 25% off sale right now so they are on the way

I don't blame ya! The prices are pretty unbeatable. I have maybe 100 miles on them. No complaints.

Transmission has a plug at the rear.
the Spyder and I had a great run! Three straight 2nd place Challenge autox finishes, then 2zz swapped and three straight Challenge autox wins. Last year we even beat all of the over budget cars, all without a pro driver behind the wheel. A bunch of local event FTD's as well. She's a ripper!
(3) 22-ish year old dudes rented a U-haul trailer and drove over from Texas. One of the guys is "Mudchicken" here on the forum. We made the transaction and they're headed straight back to Texas. They were each grinning wildly after their test drives. I'll miss the little Spyder but I think she'll be happy with these dudes! They say they'll be at the Challenge in the future and I offered to drive a run or 2 for them I hope they show up ❤️

Fits right in. We had such a blast driving it around today, thanks again!
In reply to mudchicken :
Awesome! I'm glad you guys got home safely. That's a pretty sweet collection you've got there! Did you guys adjust the driver seat, or just rip it as-is?
resealed and back in its home. I was able to trim the metal intake gasket. Honda bond on all of the coolant adapter pieces. I feel better about it. Feels good to be moving forward again.
All done with the personal touches on the Boxster. Added a blue cayman rear spoiler, clear side markers, and some yellow film on the headlights that really eliminated any evidence of their haziness.
I tested out a Mobil Pegasus skeleton decal on the fender, but ultimately decided I like it clean better.
Looks great and looking forward to updates on the 914 being leak free.
Check this out!
I was watching a thing on Max Schaaf and they cut to some B roll of what is clearly evidence that you've been in CA.
lol! Finally a little recognition for my side gig as a crappy graffiti artist!
The Firm hosted another sweet rallyx a couple weekends ago with a large woods portion. My short course buddy, Nate, picked up a new single seat RZR that was built for racing up at Crandon, WI. I had him by a second after the first stage, but he got used to his new car quickly and was about 2 seconds faster per stage. Fun battle but he got the win!
Found an interesting speed sensor option for the Haltech ecu.
If you don't mind a bit of DIY there are some tone rings that can bolt to your Boxster flange and I think it's just a hall effect sensor that needs bracketed close to it. I like GPS but sometimes it takes a minute for it to catch up. With that said the Haltech one may be better built than the cheap ones I've experienced before.
I wasn't going to mess with this flywheel cover until after I got the car running. But I've got a coolant hose that routes right through this gap. So I figured, let's get it done. One of my neater little fab projects lately.
It appears the photos upload fine if I forward them to my work computer first. Strange. And a cool Boxster pic, just because I like it.

I've had to modify images taken with an iphone to post on the forum recently. They updated the software and are still working out some kinks.
The cooling system has been full of juice for a couple hours. ...and none of it has dripped onto the floor!!
That cover you fabbed up looks amazing!
-still a struggle to upload pics from my phone (I have to do a screen shot of any photo before uploading)
-914 does have a small, slow coolant drip. I believe my fix will have to be a drill/tap into the head to more securely mount one of the stupid adapters. I believe it can be done with the engine in the car, as long as I'm able to get the intake manifold off.
-two weekends ago was our last local scca rallyx of the season. Course was rad and I got the overall win by a good margin. feeling good for nationals this weekend
-Milton was wild. The eye passed right over my house. I have 4 big trees down, but no damage to any structures. Been living off a generator with no a/c or ability to move my lift since Wednesday night, but power was just restored!
-Rallyx nationals are this weekend in Alabama. Hoping I can get the yxz up and do an oil change before departing thursday morning.
-AngryCorvair shipped me a sweet GRM license plate frame for the Boxster!
4 trees down and no buildings damaged is a huge win! Hope that sets a trend for your RallyX Nationals!

Absolutely! no a/c sucks pretty bad. But a damaged garage or house would be a hell of a lot worse!
Glad to hear you got power back and came out relatively unscathed. Sucks seeing old trees go down though. Losing shade sucks but so does the character older trees provide.
I forgot to measure for the hose length, I'll try to remember this evening.
Glad for no damage to structures, for sure!

Couldn't agree more and people in our neighborhood have a habit of taking beautiful old trees down on a whim for one silly reason or another. My family is tired of hearing me complain about it.
