What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[elav]

My son and I...

• Replaced the entire ignition switch assembly
• Replaced the directional cluster with a 4 stock version (3 stock had broken directional indicators)
• Added the harness and enabled the OBC
• Replaced the airbag bracket (as the bushing in the old one was causing the horn to beep when turning left)
• Removed an old immobilizer (spliced into the clutch switch). It was partially removed and tucked behind the dash with exposed wires

I'm happy to say that everything is working and I believe replacing the ignition switch assembly fixed the issue where the car would honk the horn once when you locked it (indicating something was open still). My guess is that it wasn't happy with the radio connection as the radio would sometimes stop working and it looks like the ignition may have fixed that.

Finally picked up the hardtop, color matches not to bad to the car 20 year old paint.

Sealed the top with 303 Protectant.now it has to cure for the next 12 hours...if the kids go to bed early enough I may pop on my new headlights and tailights that arrived yesterday.

Drained Oil, dropped the pan for a peek-a-boo
Third change for me 1st sump cover drop
Man I was ready for timing chain guild plastic, metal what ever.
My surprise - nothing - ultra clean at 67k miles.
Tonight I'll cut the filter for that inspection and put the cover back on with a new magnetic plug

I do see the need for new Plug tubes in my future.

I didn't remove some of the under car shield that barely overlaps the sump. I will need to do that to install

Nothing is more satisfying than cleaning a Porsche after a long and stressful day at work.

[Ghostrider 310]

You think that is satisfying try not letting the passenger drive, you're gonna love it!!

finally got around to refreshing the front suspension
Install new TRW lower control arms, Inner & out tie rods
Had done the sway bar bushings & drop links last summer
Being Aligned as we speak.
It will be interesting to see how it drives.

Yesterday drove it on a three hundred mile trip to Northern Michigan and back.

Wednesday installed a new motor mount and an underdrive pulley.

Finally got the car back together after replacing IMS bearing. New axle boots also installed. Everything is ready except for starting it since the work has been completed and checking tire pressure. Should be starting the car tomorrow and I'll see if I did it right. Wish me luck.

Sold...after 16 3/4 years of ownership and 150K joyful miles, the new owner picked up the 01S this morning for its move to Oregon. Good luck all.

This Memorial day weekend I refreshed my brake caliper finish, painted Lug nuts and Brake rotor hubs. I wasn't ready to repaint and decal so I short cut by scraping off peeling clear coat, scrubbing calipers with soap and polishing pad. Looked way better just doing that. With the Clear coat, I am very happy with the finished product. Way better then the peeling faded calipers before. I also took time to paint the Rotor hubs and lug nuts.
I'm going to have to repaint in a year or so. That's when I'll add SS lines and do a brake overhaul
Down side, didn't get to drive much over memorial day weekend, especially when I see the drives other took

Today I fixed my passenger side door lock mechanism. It was behaving erratically sometimes no longer dropping the window to clear the rain gutters.

Did some snooping around on the Internet and found a fix that involves re-soldering the pcb inside the door lock mechanism. Not terribly difficult but ask me how many times I put things back together the wrong way...

After that, we went out for a nice long drive to celebrate.
