I am sure, there will be some nice roads to explore!

So, Alles Gute & Gute Heimreise, Troy!
Glad, that you had good times over here.

Yesterday picked up the car from spring/summer inspection. As I suspected from a few dribbles on the driveway the waterpump was headed south. So had the indy shop replace pump, thermostat. Then this morning since we have nasty rainy weather - so I did a small cosmetic job. Replaced the passenger side vanity mirror and light. Rick

Took it out to a “Porsches & coffee” socially-distanced meetup this morning. Top down the whole time and it felt great.

Drove home from Tahoe. 3.5 hours door to door. Tucked in behind a Ferrari F430 up around Boreal. Driving behind him was like watching the Red Sea part. As we came up behind traffic they just moved to the right. We hung together up until West Sacramento before he got serious and left me in the dust with a little nod and a wave. I wasn't willing to put up triple digit speeds on public roads. Amazing sounding car. Was a pleasure to be the wing man for a bit.

Boxster drove great. Tons of fun.

New Zimmerman rotors and fresh fluid. Brembo pads were still pretty good, about two-thirds remaining, but the old rotors had a about a 2mm ridge.
Feels really good after bedding in.

Going through the list of 20 year old car challenges, today was Koni Active shock day. The rear drop links both rusted themselves to the strut and were a challenge to remove...... otherwise, uneventful. Too rain to really get on it, but the ride seems smoother......

Yes, the CEL came on pretty much every other day. I did check CEL code each time to make sure that there was no other faults to be concerned about (I don't like to drive with CEL on to hide possible bigger problems).
The code was: "P0159 Porsche Fault Code 23 - Sensor ageing behind cat. conv. cylinder (4-6)"
I read the codes with Durametric.

installed new pedals, great price, just took a little drilling into the old clutch and brake pedals after removing the rubber inserts

Dont know the name, but you can find them on ebay easily. They are bright and look great, but some have questions on longevity but I have had no problems.

I took out the spare tire and checked air pressure,
5lbs.
Filled it up and put it back. It's actually a cool looking doughnut wheel. The jack is aluminum and very very light weight. It's a very cool set up.

Just picked it up from Tijuana for a 1k paint job from silver to guards red.

Very happy

That is ****************ing obnoxious.

Nothing broken, Pipe. You just have to scroll to the right about 13 feet.

My only personal gripe about color changing cars is the amount of effort involved for me. It erks me to know that under the carpet/dash/under the car/inside the fenders/under the spare tire/under the amp in the frunk/inside the engine bay/in the area where the strut mounts sandwich/in the scaffolding of the deck lids and all the areas in between have the original color. I've done one color change that's enough for me (I color changed under the carpet and all the above listed areas).

Car looks nice though.

Thanks, Starter, I just figured it out.

Saturday, low temperature thermostat, water pump, flushed twice, new G40, top up power steering fluid, oil change, and a wash. Running quieter and cooler 🙂
