What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[Traco]

I've been chipping away at some carpentry work to improve the sounds. It's a non Bose car so only had the diskettes in the dash. Decided to add 4x6 Pioneers to the rear cubby. A satisfying job. Not finished yet but getting there. Need to secure them in place and decide if I will do a fabric or metal cause for the opening.

Nice, i am not happy with the sound of the 4” speakers I have in there, and going to do the same to mine with 4x6.

Deleted the secondary Cats on my 2002 Boxster S. Then took her for a nice drive up and down the coast!

Started to chase down the fob not working/passenger door won’t lock/alarm control module doesn’t light up/two beeps gremlin and the driver heated seat not working issues.

1. Re: the alarm control module, took out seats, replaced 15a fuse just to be safe, opened up case, both sides looks dry as a bone. Put everything back, crossed fingers, turned car back on... still not working. Will start focusing in on the passenger door latch tomorrow. Only thing that stood out as odd was the passenger pan had two ground wires, but driver only had one. Normal?

2. Re: heated seat, passenger side works, changed relays/changed switches, driver side still didn’t work. As per one of the threads, tried the continuity test, seat back showed no current (seat bottom was fine), did the short circuit/splice wire solution. Put everything back, crossed fingers, turned car back on... still not working. Unsure of next steps here (in-car fuses are fine).

0/2 today, lol.

Omes986, I covet the condition of your CLU board. Mine looks nothing like that, but still runs and drives! So it's on my list to address.

I changed out front sway bar bushings.........and broke one of bolts.......should have been a simple job..........

Started the process to pull the engine for the first time. Bad intermix issues. Got the cats off and was lucky enough to find oil pouring out of the exhaust manifolds. On a car that hasn't even been turned over in 18 months.

Removed the front bumper and air ducts and cleaned out the condensers and radiators. Ordered grill screens to be placed on the bumper openings.
Went to reroute the emergency frunk release cable to the tow hook opening but found that cable is jammed somewhere. If I pull on the looped end it does not move freely to the latch. Will have to investigate that tomorrow. Front of car is on jack stands with e-brake on and wheel chocks in place on the rear wheels.

Installed a 997 shifter last night.

This is a late post: Last Tuesday I ordered two new shocks for the rear trunk lid, and front Lower Control Arms. They all arrived on time. Of course, it all came from Pelican.

Wednesday, I suffered a stroke, being hospitalized until Friday evening. The doctor says no driving. I have already started Physical Therapy. I am looking for small daily improvements to lead to big changes.

The positive is that with one fully functioning hand and ingenuity, I was able to install the two trunk lid shocks. Small changes. I know it will be while before getting under the car for LCA install is an option.

Wow! Glad you are remaining positive. LCA can wait. How much longer before you get to drive?

I have to get Physical Therapy to approve. Thier approval will depend upon my progress in healing. Fortunately the hit was not in mental abilities. I can barely hold a fork with my left hand. I am seeing small improvments daily. Thursday I could not make the OK sign. Now I can.

Prayers and best wishes for you. Sounds like you're hanging tough and ready to get after it. Let's hope for a short term minor setback!

Did your primary physician or cardiologist order a doppler test of your arteries? my father suffered a stroke and was unlucky to be taken to a second rate hospital. After discharge and nearly a month later his cardiologist found a DVT clot in his leg and immediately began blood thinners. He'd been complaining of leg pain in his calf for many months but none of the doctors I took him to raised DVT as possibility. His previous primary physician was part of doctor's group that were somehow incentivized to block authorizations to escalate to a specialist which cost us dearly. In hindsight I should have simply changed his insurance ASAP and found a new doctor. But his routine heart tests were otherwise normal. A top notch cardiologist would not have hesitated to order the doppler test and get him on a low dose thinner.

I think as a general rule once you hit 65 you should check in with your cardiologist annually. Some things just dont show up on basic tests performed by a primary physician. Good luck. You're attitude is very similar to my father's. Some people like you have that extra gear that keep the fight in the dog. My one friend half my father's age has a mental breakdown if he gets a cold.

Wishing you a full and speedy recovery. A good friend of mine and fellow cyclist had a stroke a few years ago, made a full recovery and got back on his bike. Hope you get back to driving soon.

Ordered some bits for a busy weekend:
* Discovered cracked ignition coils when I attempted to change plugs, so new coils en route for install with new plugs
* Burned a hole in PS pressure line (contact with new header; doh!) so that's on order
* Plan to disassemble and clean intake since I need to remove left side to access PS line. "While I'm in there..." I'm installing 74mm throttle body and 997 plenum
* IPD intake hose and clamps also en route for clean install

Fingers crossed for a successful several hours in the garage this weekend.

got to spend 200$ to get towed home after a radiator hose let go. got stoped before it overheated but was a mess. putting it on a lift in the morning to asses damage. guessing hoses are original so may do a complete refresh of the cooling system.

[dghii]

Not a 986 but on my 996, just did 4 brake hoses, 4 drop links and fuel door actuator. Brake fluid flushed as well.
