I went camping and drove my car around. It was a bit cold for my blood though. Shoulda gone camping last month.

It took about 2 hours.
I had a luxury to take my car a day before to friends car shop to cool down and I did the work there on following day with proper tools and a profesional lift.
Also, to take out the factory installed hose connectors from the engine side, I had a friends pair of hands to use the hose connector removal tool to get those compressed hose clips out (very difficult location).
Not a nice job to do without a proper workshop lift and tools...

Got my car smogged today, but before I got it, I had to take off the hardtop since they like to look under the top then I took it for a brisk drive around the city to get it warmed up and hot. Passed with flying colors and now I can get my tags.

I've been slowly doing a few cosmetic changes... Finished up a few projects this weekend - 996 faux headlight setup, aftermarket seat install (using factory sliders, I wrote up the diy if anyone is interested) and put in a quick release hub with flat bottom steering wheel (I forgot to take a pic but will post if anyone is interested). Now to clean up the wiring and look of the center bits and finish the dash up.

Did the air filter, first time I was in the top of the engine. Not a big deal after watching a video.
Also did cabin air filter today. Planning an oil change but wife took the car to run around.

But in his defense, she will never wear that dress again, and he'll be driving that car for a long time!

Jon and Woody are out tearing through the desert in their Boxsters, cutting them up with Sawzalls, blowing up engines and having a great time.
Meanwhile I'm afraid to get a speck of dust on mine.

Uh oh, sounds like someone might have the bug.

Tell us about it. What was the easiest task? The most difficult? How long did it take you. Did you invent any new profanities? Share.

No new cuss words, just the same old ones. Out in about an hour, less than two to get the new one back in. Less “fiddley” than replacing the convertible top but not without some issues. Best recommendations are to 1) use a set of cable pliers for the spring clamps and 2) remove the flexible oil fill tube which will give you a lot more room to access the hoses and clamps. I chose not to cut the tank out. Not as bad a job as it has been made out to be. Good luck if you have to replace yours. PM me and I’ll be glad to walk anyone through the process if needed.
