What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[Stroked & Blown]

Took care of a LOT in prep for DE season

[Javi Cooper]

Installed new Apex Racing wheels and tires, finally got a set of OEM Aerokit 2 side skirts (thank you Rick a.k.a. RedTele58!) to match the front GT3 bumper, and resprayed the nasty front end. Car looks 20 years younger now

More pics coming after a mild interior refresh

[RedTele58]

Javi - you need a complete different thread for your car w/ lot's of interior pics when you're done.

I'm really happy the way your car turned out. There's only a few 986 Boxsters builds around that I like better than a few of mine. Yours is one of them.

Nah - I've said it before, your car is my favorite car on the forum!

It turned out great but then I knew it would

Stunning, JB.
And what about the blue covers? Can't decide which headlights to use?

Ya lol, those are my factory Xenon's. I did the full xenon high and low beam conversion to them and thought I'd try them out. 🙂

My frunk was not opening properly so I replaced the mechanical portion of the latch assembly. The old one had a loose and weak release spring. New one opens with a decidedly better ‘thunk’ and the emergency release now works.

I also replaced the turn signal/windshield washer/cruise control module behind the steering wheel. My turn signal lever was not returning to off and was occasionally not engaging when activated. A common problem I discovered after doing research here and on Rennlist.

With the help of the Bentley Manual and some great YouTube videos I completed both repairs in a couple of hours. Once again 986Forum and Rennlist members come to the rescue.

Great looking! Did you wrap these as well with the same material like the exterior?

Got a smog test and passed. Had to remove engine cover. I wonder if it's only a California thing.

Did a few interior repairs, mods and relocations:

Installed Tequipment steering wheel
Installed Tequipment brake handle
Installed GT3 console delete
Relocated gauges from top dash slot to GT3 console
Relocated AC from bottom console slot to dash
Performed AC vent incision for flap door foam fix
Polished painted center console
Fixed non-cancelling turn signals
Fixed intermittent horn
Replace door actuator so that I can actually lock my car at night
Installed red leather trim pieces around center console
Replace Sony stereo with OEM looking Continental unit
Removed owners manual bracket

On the way:
Matching Tequipment shift knob (need to restore leather)
Paint seat backs in black
Dye some leather parts for a better match (most parts came from different cars)
New floor carpets
Clean that nasty interior!

The steering wheel (look and feel), GT3 console (clean look and LEGROOM) and stereo (clean OEM look) are some of the best mods I've done to this car. What a difference!

More photos as soon as it's done and cleaned up

Had a blast at my very first Hudson Valley regional PCA event. What a great group, should have signed up when I first bought the car 3 years ago.



Mine is in the far row, dead center. I think there were 60+ cars, had so many great conversations with people directly around me I never even made it though a 1/4 of the cars.

Fellow forum member Dave80GTSi and I brought our Boxsters and grandsons to the vintage races at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course!
