What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[Cosmo Kramer]

Installed a B&M short shifter, PO gave it to me and it was already installed in a mounting bracket so it was a breeze to put it. Went from shifting like a Mack truck to a sports car!

Pulled the bumper, cleaned the radiators and the shrouds. Then I washed the whole car.

I also fabricated new wheel spats from paver edging.

Changed spark plugs; cleaned inside rear wheels while they were off; replaced rear plexiglas on convertible; washed, polished & waxed

The wind deflector makes a bigger difference than I imagined. Expensive, but worth it.

100% agree. Makes a huge diff at highway speeds, and my wife even said "cost a lot, but worth it."

Thanks to Deadeye supplying salvage drivers side transmission I fixed my convertable top mechanism!!!

Nice to be able to push a button again and even better to not have linkage rattling around on bumbs.

Thanks Deadeye!

Previous owner already had this option. How much do they cost?

I drove the Little Black Vomit Comet like I stole it.... then took it for a smog check.
It runs so clean, you could strap the engine on your back and scuba dive with it!

got an original radio at a great price.

I finally got my Boxster running again! i bought it in Dec 2014. The clutch got so stiff a few weeks later and finally the slave cylinder blew in Jan 2015. I had a motor to rebuild on another car before I could finally start on the Boxster. The summer was hot so I didn't do too much on it. In the end I replaced the following:
- clutch
- flywheel
- IMS bearing
- RMS
- resealed oil pan
- shift fork, ball pin, spring
- output shaft seal
- tranny gear oil
- slave cylinder
- hydraulic fluid change
- spark plugs and apark plug tubes
- rear struts
- rear drop links
- AOS
I'm waiting for the rear bumper cover to come back from the paint shop before I can put the car back on the road, but I did take it for a drive up and down the street with the firewall and top engine cover off - loud and wonderful sounding!

I replaced the reverse light bulbs with LED ones. Unfortunately I was under the impression that they were supposed to have the BAU15S socket, but it was actually BA15S, so I ended up filing away one of the pins on each bulb. I had managed to find LEDs that would work with reverse polarity so now they're shining brighter than ever.

I finally had a chance to drive 'spiritedly' with new tires and alignment. (RE 11s) These tires are great!

BBQ time

Removed front bumper to clean air intake, found about 30% blockage from bugs and leaves, going for long ride today with top down.

Hi all
I changed the front into a cayman hand made look-a-like front. So happy, including a cayman hardtop since last 2 years!

Bye from the Netherlands

Washed and waxed mine yesterday. Left home early this morning with my wife and had a nice drive down to Alexandria VA. Stopped at Mount Vernon for lunch, heading into Old Towne for dinner, then going to check out some of the monuments in DC tonight.

Driving to Gettysburg tomorrow, doing some sight seeing there, and returning home Monday via PA. About a 700 mile trip all together.

Nothing with the Box today. But I did show some love to my wife's car, as she is a nurse and has to work all weekend, plus Memorial Day. She jokes that the Box gets all the love, but her car got the full Monty today - full interior detail with carpet shampoo and leather clean/condition. Outside got wash, clay, and then machine compound, polish and wax. Black rubber treatment and wheel detail. Here it is waiting to pick her up from work. She was pleased

My driver side door audio woofer was rattling and making that farting sound like a split diaphragm. As it turned out, the 5.25" speaker was fine. Sometime in the past an idiot had drilled a couple of 1/2" drain holes in the bottom edge of the door. One of those holes was into the speaker's resonance box that extends along the bottom edge of the door. As a result, back-pressure air from the speaker was exiting the hole and causing the sheet metal of the door to vibrate. Stuck some acoustic damping tape over the hole and along the bottom side of the plastic resonance chamber. Problem solved. Sounds great.
