What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Cleaned out sticky radio knob and other soft touch sticky mess on my 2003-S. The cleaning solution did not dull any color or cause any other issue. Now they feel like the way they should.

Yesterday - washed it with rinse-less car wash due to water restrictions and it was filthy with pollen and water spots (black car - needs to be clean!). Worked really well actually and left a nice shine and was really easy and quick to do!

This morning - drove it to work. Glorious 10 minute ride. The only time I wish I worked further from home is when I drive it to work!

I glanced at mine this morning, then got in the subaru. I need to make a decision on tires, as my rears are no longer safe to operate.

Changed out the sticky knobs on the CDR-220 for new ones. Tried cleaning them but they were too far gone.

Used a smoke machine to find a leak on the crankcase vent hose that goes the the lower AOS fitting... you know, that 60$ hose underneath the fuel rail that you've dreamed of replacing ^^

We went out on a drive with the Porsche club of Victoria on Sunday. I was following a Cayman, when we spotted two Kangaroos coming out of the trees at the side of the road. Believe me, you don't want to hit a roo, they are big, so everyone was breaking hard. The first roo decided to jump across the road just in front of the Cayman, then the second decided to go just as the Cayman got level and bounced off the side of the car. The Cayman was only doing about 10ks by that point and stopped. The knocked over roo got up and went back, and finally the first roo decided to go back as well by jumping clean over the Cayman �� I told them after we stopped and they had no idea about the roo jumping over them. Fortunately no serious damage done to the Cayman. How I wish I had had a dashcam!

Drove 300 miles round trip to see my girlfriend for her birthday while she is back home for the summer. Boxster didn't skip a beat and enjoyed steady high speeds at times.

Changed accessory belt, air filter, cabin filter, oil & oil filter, and transaxle fluid plus checked brake & power steering fluid plus coolant. basically the 60,000 mile service.

Amazing how the car feels better when you do the work yourself.

Nice, Ray. I did mine a while ago. Original felt like a worn out tuning knob on an old (real old) TV. Now, just like Dad used to say, I'll be turn that knob one station at a time!

Put my baby back together - it was 97 F here today (hotter than the sun!), so I am ready for a nice long shower!

The new (for me/pre-owned) replacement bumper arrived today around noon in good shape via freight. Gave the inside a good scrub before mounting it up on the car. Took some juggling to get both sides seated (was doing this alone) but once the top corners were in place the rest fell right in line. After all bumper cover fasteners were in place I gave the whole thing an intense scrubbing with McGuires Paint scrubber (to remove old wax and any swirls in the clear coat) then hit it with some quick wax before bolting the trim stuff up (bumperettes, license plate).

It actually looks better than it did before the accident. Well, except for the gash in that back wheel...

Sadly, I sold her today. And on Father's Day no less.
I'd driven her less and less since buying the Lotus. The buyer noticed from my log book that the last time I gassed her up was in October. But the sunny weather is finally here in the Northwest and I'm going to miss the top down experience.

Never could have survived ownership without this forum. Many thanks to all that contribute. I'm in a forum for each of my cars and this one is by far the most active and helpful.

Kind regards to all,

Glen

Took my '03 S in for a pre-tech inspection checkup for my first HDPE that will be next month. Didn't want to go to the Tech Inspection 10 days before the event and find out something needed attention. Plus the Tech Inspection says the brake fluid needs to be flushed at least once a year so had my brake fluid flushed and bled, brakes inspected and front center motor mount removed inspected. At 59,000 miles and almost 13 years old I was expecting the motor mount to be torn but it is in perfect shape! Unfortunately I had one incident where it starting misfiring last week. They checked the codes and I'm also getting new plugs and coil packs. In the next two weekends I'll change to my 18 inch wheels and put the BK rollbar extension on.

Today I left my Boxster at the shop to get the brake fluid replaced. It boiled during my last track day and I discovered that it's something to avoid. Going with ATE Typ 200, which is the replacement for the discontinued ATE Racing Blue.

[Dubaday]

painted my wheel barrels red with gold metalizer from plasti-dip.


Gonna finish the face of the wheel white today with glossifier. Until than,
her ass stays in the air

Before:


After:


GT3 brake ducts installed.

I've also replaced the wheels, since the front wheels were very worn in the inside. I found a set of second hand ones with the exact same rims that I had before and nearly brand new tyres. All of this was actually done yesterday.

Last week I got the brake fluid replaced with ATE Typ 200.

Today I went to get a wheel alignment, since the wear on the front tyres suggested way too much toe out, which turned out to be the case. That is now in order, but the guy in the shop wasn't very confident when it came to fixing the exaggerated negative camber, so that's not taken care of yet.
