What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[rflores2323]

Added new flooring and paint to garage for the box. Also new light up key holder. And had to put my kicks somewhere so why not near all my toys.

That is a fantastic setup! Where did you get the floor mats?

Thanks. I ordered them from bannerbuzz online. Just uploaded a pic and they made the hogmats. Quality is decent but not very thick to tell you the truth. The print looks good. Ok for my garage but definitely not for an actual shop that has tons of traffic etc... I ordered during Christmas when they had a 40% discount also so they came out to like $100 a Mat which isn't bad imo. I did have a design problem on the mats as the emblem was not centered initially (my fault) so I redesigned and bannerbuzz sent me the wrong mats first. We caught the design flaw but they shipped it out anyway. They then sent me the corrected mats free of charge. So I got four mats. Below is the final corrected and centered emblem design.

Looks Great! I'd have put all that cash towards a QuickJack or something mechanical. But hey, life would be boring if we all the same tastes/interests.

Yeah I'm looking into a maxjax in the future....but I wanted the garage to look good and be organized first. (Said my wife) Also a good friend of mine that I met on here (Doug427) has an awesome garage that we do routine maintenance on our cars. His garage is setup nicely for actual diy.


Baby steps but I will get there.

Also here is a better view of the floor and mats.

I fixed my tachometer.

Put some Porsche valve caps on. Pretty sure I picked up 5hp.

Depends on what they are made of.

Nevermind. Thank you.

Had a new windshield installed today, I can see!!!

Took the car to the local dealer for a safety and emission inspection as required here in PA. It passed the emissions but failed the safety due to a cracked motor mount! They wanted $900 for the repair. Luckily, I have a garage now and may do it myself or have a local, recommended on here, shop do it for about $275 along with a reinspection. I figured I'd give the dealer a shot... and I got a cheap (complimentary with the safety inspection) multi-point inspection done and a list of things to do in the near future.

Found the problem of my EVAP issues... Apparently when the fuel pump was replaced back in 2016, the "mechanic" who replaced it thought epoxy would fix a broken purge vent. When I confronted him about it, he just said, "whatever".

But it's fixed now, replaced the float assy and all is well.

Better than duct tape I suppose?

No offence but if a customer came up to me after 5 years and complained... I'd say whatever too. Its 20 year old plastic that gets doused with gasoline all the time; what do you expect?

I think that’s his point, it’s a stupid way to repair it and the guy should have known better

That is exactly my point. If he had fixed it correctly, or at the very least brought it to my attention, it would have saved me over $900. Even if he caused the damage, I would have never known. I think he broke it when replacing the pump, and instead of manning up, he just used epoxy to cover his ass.

Took out my CLU, ECU and FOBs to get the wet CLU repaired. Hoping it can get fixed. I've heard positive results are possible.

My car has always started, run and driven well. Just a few nice-to-haves like Windows that roll down and doors that lock :-) would be nice.
