Well done sir. Those seats look amazing.

Wow looks great! Wasn't that nice of the previous owner to protect that red leather for you. Looks new.

Got my '03 Boxster base 2 weeks ago. Monday-Tuesday car was in shop getting LN IMS retrofit, RMS, clutch, pressure plate and flywheel, and of course, oil and filter. I think a clutch should last more than 41,000 miles, but it was down to the rivets in a few places.

Today, I did some easy stuff, air filter, cabin filter, drive belt.

Got a new key cut and programmed by the dealer today. I supplied the key, and they only charged me $85, despite being quoted $160 over the phone. Sometimes even the dealer is reasonable...

Can you PM me the info on where you bought your key? I checked with the dealership yesterday, and they quoted me ~$525 US, depending on my VIN, which they say may affect the final price. I'd like to try and do better than that. Thanks.

I had a racing stripe and Porsche lettering added. The metallic silver matches great with my Lapis blue metallic paint, and is a dead-on match for the wheel color. I think it's a great touch.

My very first Concours. Entered FUNTOY in the People's Choice category.

Unfortunately the Concours had to move to a parking garage because of rain.

Learned a lot, saw some fantastic cars and talked to a bunch of really interesting Porsche owners.

Did go home with a second place award!

[grc0456]

Congrats, Anker! Good job. Yes, the rain didn't help us, but we still enjoyed ourselves at the Zone 1 Concours. Here are a few more pics of the event.

PCA NER AutoCross school today. Had a blast and learned a ton about Boxster handling. Its really non-intuitive that if you start losing the rear end you add throttle and if you start losing the front you reduce it. I'll have to practice that a lot before it becomes instinctive.
