Replaced both rear track/control arms trying to get rid of some suspension noise going slow over bumps. They needed replaced, one boot was torn, and they were way too easy to move by hand compared to the new ones.

Oh, that’s a painful amount of work right there! But yeah, might as well while you are there!

I gave my Boxster a long overdue waxing this morning.

Looks like you have very sticky tires!

I was concerned this picture would appear upside down, but it is right side up on my computer. I don't know what it is with iPhone pictures and a PC laptop!

90 degrees and humid in Pittsburgh today. Those snow-covered pines are a cooling sight.
Beautiful car!

Finally finished the wiring for the factory-method footwell lights, variable intermittent wipers, and spoiler switch relocation. Tomorrow will be time to button things up.

I am so OCD!!! Put together a maintenance record spreadsheet, not bad for first 6 months of ownership lol. The engine is smooth as a swiss watch, exterior is near perfect, and after completing the remainder of a full suspension refresh this winter will be like a brand new car!

I totally do this as well! I'm sure there are other geeks out there that do it too. And you are right, that suspension refresh will change the car. Enjoy it!

Yep, I have one for my 5 years of ownership with every service, part and accessory documented - with $$ spent. It’s password protected, and my wife does not have the password

Now you’ll need the Phenix shifter bushings for an even better improvement.

Tried to reset these cursed emissions monitors for the 1000'th time. Drive cycles are hard.
