What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[Cunningr]

I really like that strip and the color. If you want to remove it later is it easy to remove and leaves no film on the car?

I have been spending lots of time surfing for upgrade info ect... But main thing I did was complete the external portion of detailing my 00 S.

I had to use it as my daily driver for several months, even though I keep it washed and waxed it was over due a detailing. So broke the job up into several days last time I clay bar the whole car and waxed my back hurt for days.

Anyway no clay needed but did a polish and 2 coat wax job and detailed out the wheels and reapplied a coat of the wheel wax from Chemical guys. If you have never used the Chemical Guys wheel wax, I highly recommend it, makes the wheels shine and the brake dust will not stick great protection and easy to use.

Today will finish outside windows, and start on interior detailing. Also need to replace the broken vanity mirror on driver side, since its lighted that is scheduled for Sunday task.

Jbauer, I like your stripe, it compliments red perfectly. Can you post the exact color and source? I'm looking for a way to protect my hood as it gets rash from every drive. Instead of applying a clear coat I was thinking of just covering the entire hood as long as I am the caretaker of this car. When I eventually sell it I can reverse it. Charcoal =Cool.

It's 3M 1080 series graphite metalic. It's a little to brownish for me. I bought some and did my hood solid with it. I didnt care for it and removed it. I just used the scraps to test my wire tape cutting skills.
I've reordered a silver to match my back to stockish colored wheels.

Messed up Black:

I was matching my wheel color at the time, Graphite:

I installed a Rennline throttle pedal cover, side extenders and the adjustment plate that goes underneath the pedal cover and a RAM mount. Next HPDE I'll be able to heal and toe and video.

Bought a busted 6 spd trans from ebay and a used bell housing, only took two days, no special tools needed, I will install it when the temps go up, but it's ready to go, the trans is out of a 2004 Boxster S Limited Edition LE Spyder, with 35k miles, it was perfect on the inside, the inside magnet had no metal material or anything on it, all gears and synchro was perfect, no wear at all , here are some pics.

Had mine towed to an indy repair shop today for a flashing CEL issue that I was unable to diagnose. I'm afraid this one might cost a fortune. In the event it does, it will be time to part with it. Spent enough on it since I've owned it. Time to cut my losses. Love the car, hate the draining wallet. "Film at 11"...

[Cunningr]

Installed renline magnetic phone holder. Easy 10 minute job, including annoying neighbour talking ear off. Small foot print solid connection point, iphone now out of way, but in easy to view poisition.

[BirdDog]

Did an oil and filter change...

10 quarts of Joe Gibbs Racing DT40 and a Wix 51348 oil filter (slightly different filter than the normal LN spin on filter because I have an IMS Solution).

Then took her out for a nice long drive.

[Deserion]

Took it out of slumber and drove to work.

[Cunningr]

I took mine out for a 2 day mini holiday with the wife! Must keep her happy and enjoying the car.

[lskolnick]

Nothing

[Cunningr]

Well great trip in the box with the wife. Went to the area where Spanish ham is produced. Went into an old templario church, and side trip to another really small town that was beutiful. Return trip when weather permits top down driving. Wanted a phot of the car next to the church but wife was scared to drive up the hill. Lol

[blueflames]

Bought a couple of used ones from Woody and painted them. Much better than the scuffed up old black rubber!

[navair]

I like the red "S", I've wondered what it would look like!

[soxfan1966]

Temp here today was in the 50's. Took the winter car cover off and let it run for a bit, took it for a quick spin. Weather looks nice for tomorrow, going to take the Boxster to work.

The car is still settling down after an engine swap. I took it out to a local indy shop and he gave me the latest version of the coolant cap--I gave him my K&N oil filters which I don't need since I got the spin on adapter.

It really is settling down! The D-4 lights for the TIP stopped flashing and the paddles work again. Doesn't appear to be marking it's territory, either. Still burning off the oil on the engine, so it does stink. But not leaking coolant anymore and that's a good thing.

He was kinda impressed that I changed the motor myself. I'm 66 year old guy. Spent lots of time on the deck of the carport on my back.

[Jgkram]

I'm impressed too! Way to take one for the older team.

[rexcramer]

+1 Well done sir.

Around 0100hr finished a 30hr drive from SLC to BHM with my 11yo daughter as copilot. Mountains, deserts, rain, sleet, and snow, and top-down 70 degree sunny weather too.
Great experience, now back to work...
