What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Ducktail painted, installed 😀

Yesterday I avoided a speeding ticket. Due to the wonderful visibility with the top down, I was able to catch a glimpse of the motorcycle cop lurking at the bottom of a hill on a side street. The car next to me was not so fortunate.

So put my 2001 green Box in for a clutch replacement. It also needed flywheel, CV joints all around and I figured do the IMS also.
About $5500 total. I pick it up tomorrow
Looking forward to see how smooth it runs

Went for a drive yesterday afternoon to a small town north of home for a hot dog at a drive in called the Half Moon and found this beauty pulling into the lot along side me.

1964 356 Roadster


in concours condition


so much smaller than my Boxster


The owner and I had a short chat, me admiring his classic and he my future classic!

As an added bonus, on my way back I saw another Boxster coming the other way. Rare day to see Porsches on the back roads north of Winnipeg in the middle of the week.

I've been up to Winnipeg several times, but always when there was snow. The last time, a couple weeks ago, the weather was nicer and I saw a good number of Porsches out playing. Nice to see.

We have been having exceptional weather the last couple of weeks. 27C to low 32C, (85 to 90 F) very dry and brilliant sun. This is more like late July than early June.

What a stunning car. Thanks for posting.

Great, Paul. I had a similar experience early this week with the original owner of a beautiful 57 356A. He bought it for his honeymoon car for $2,700 and still drives it with his bride today. He also complimented me on the condition and future collectibility of my 986 (but probably just being nice).

Cleaned it up a bit with Optimum Opti-Clean waterless carwash.

They are on the car now but fixing the burnt lenses is low on the priority list until I get the spring/summer stuff done around the property.
I had a loose weld inside the stock muffler that was starting to be embarrassing when I get on the gas. Problem solved.

How's the Magnaflow sound?

Running headers into 2" cat-delete pipes, into modded u pipe. Magnaflow 12468, 5x8 x18 crossflow 2.5" . Umm.... Better than straight pipes, ,
It's fine at idle once warm and on trailing throttle, low load, and when your blasting.
I've got a few miles on it and it seems to be a little bit better each time but that could be hearing loss .

It's too loud on load and I fine myself short shifting wherever there are people. The plan is to put a Magnaflow universal 2" OEM replacement cat on each of the bypass pipes and reassess. Will black it out as well to make it blend in.

No time for video today as I've got to go into town to see Bill Burr and it's Grand Prix weekend on top of the usual construction headaches.

I picked up my '02 from the shop today after they replaced the clutch, flywheel, RMS, and a LN IMS bearing. The clutch was down to the rivets, so it was definitely time!

[PaulE]

I washed my car so I could install my new Nine8Six centercaps. I made a "Special Tool" from a section of wire clothes hanger to pull out my stock wheel center caps and installed Fred's.

Pictures are in the Custom Center Cap thread in the DIY section here.

[Deserion]

Working on cleaning/conditioning the leather. Otherwise it's been sitting in the garage.

[alm001]

I left my Boxster alone today - still broken, and drove my brother's '14 Cayman that I am babysitting while he is away.

That 2.7 makes an exhaust noise that I wish my 3.2 could replicate.

[dsallean]

Perhaps this doesn't count as what I did with/to my Boxster but...

I added up the change I removed from my center console when installing the ashtray delete then installing the short shift kit from Ben. $34.50
