What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[Zzorro]

Lots of driving last couple days. Such a fun car!

With the heat up here in the Pacific Northwest, I'm thinking of getting the AC recharged. It's been on my list as part of the refurbishment work, but I think it's moved up the priority list.

I finally got mine installed a few weeks ago after waiting almost four months. I love the PS4Ss. Great tire!

I installed a lawn/garden battery housed in a aluminum battery box I designed and built. I used an 8mm rivet nut to secure the battery box to the tray on the opposite side of the factory tray holes. Cut out almost 20 lbs. :dance:

Battery is U1-3 with 350 cca. Turns the car over better than the old boat anchor I pulled out of it.

Finally got around to color matching my side vents and mud guards.

So dumb question... Do you have to wax or polish a wrap or do you just toss it in the trash if it gets imperfections?

Finally dropped off the hardtop at the paint shop to get it painted.

Took the car out to get some Milky Way photos. This is before any processing:

Today I finished replacing the headlights with LED's, installed the roll hoop wind deflectors, installed an USB USB c charger in place of the cigarette lighter and once I realized I deleted the lighter, I installed the pigtail power cord for the Valentine Get 2 accessing the "dome" light. Thanks to Aaron for the top microswitch video about removing the panel. I have had no luck with photos, but I'll try again.

Today we found a barn. A barn find, if you will; and promptly beat the car up in it:

Last week I took apart my dash to double check the wiring and connections for my OBC install. It had been a while since I did the original install, and I broke the emergency flasher switch while removing it, because I didn't squeeze the two tabs on the sides while pulling on it. I found a used one on eBay for $18.55 delivered including sales tax, better than the $70 cost for a new one and ordered it. Today I went for a ride in my Boxster with no emergency flasher switch. Fun fact I learned, the turn signals don't work if there is no flasher switch installed on a 2003! At first I panicked, thought I was going to have to pull everything apart again, and then realized there was no flasher switch installed, and the wipers, OBC and cruise control all worked, and I thought that could be the reason for no turn signals. Got back home and UPS had delivered my new (used) switch. Popped it in and voila, the turn signals work again!

It's always fun learning these caveats! I wonder if it's because of the canbus on the 03-04

Turn signals also don't work on a 2001 S without the emergency flasher switch. I also panicked when doing mine when the turns didn't work without the flasher switch installed.

Quick one for today. Still need to get pictures uploaded from earlier this week. Hopefully (fingers crossed) will be able to make it home tomorrow.

Recently bought my Boxster a new friend.
