Cleaned radiators and last week fixed A/C, very happy!

Brakes .
I fitted new discs , pads ,msensors , and handbrake shoes .
If I hadn't bothered with the handbrake it would have been a nice quick job

Did a quick recon mission behind the door card to see why the inner handle has issues .

Ordered a new spring for the inner handle online .

Put a new battery in the new remote key-head .

I did the same thing. Except I didn't bother with the parking brake shoes. Anybody know how to bleed the PSM pump?

I finished it off tonight after work ...
When I changed the handbrake shoes over weekend I accidentally broke one of the retaining springs

A quick hour tonight and all is well

Ha! That's why I didn't touch mine.

Removed Front Bumper and Cleaned Radiators. Fixed some of the underside fasteners while there. Driving to Outer Banks, NC (350 miles) so max cooling needed. It will be interesting to see how 6.5 hours drive will go, especially for the passenger.

I had mine professionally detailed/clay bar'd/waxed and then my neighbor decided to water their lawn + my driveway with hard water thereby wasting 3 hours of my time and $350. Sigh...

I feel your pain. I detailed mine on Thursday, wash, clay, polish, wax. Perfect. Take it to an outdoor concert, FT Worth Symphony Orchestra playing with a Rolling Stones tribute band, the concert was awesome with the last song Brown Sugar played to exploding fireworks. We come back to the car, for which I paid extra and find the sprinklers came on during the concert with what has to be the dirtiest water I have ever seen

So today, washed it again:ah:

Last weekend I did a Charity carwash and a canada day parade

also hit 44444

Spinnaker · 07-06-2013, 01:34 AM

Spent the day washing and scrubbing the top, and then applying 303 fabric guard. It was filled with fireworks ash.
Went to a party at a friends house. He told me that the house at the foot of the cul-de-sac put on a over the top fireworks display. Boy, was it ever. One of the other neighbors said that the guy spends $5,000

on fireworks. Parked around the corner, but it was still too close. the car was covered with fireworks ash and it turned the top a nice grey color. At least there were no holes burned in it.

Fixed my inner door handle so the car locks perfectly now .
Dropped one of her new wheels of at my buddy's shop , then when seeing the coating guy .

Oh , and drove it around a bit

TeamOxford · 07-06-2013, 09:03 AM

Attended the local Cars & Coffee event. Got there 10 minutes after start time, and the lot was full and closed to any more cars. Parked about two counties over, and walked to the lot. There were more Porsches in the parking lots than the event lot! Plus a lot more cool sport and exotic cars.

Saw kashmir's setup there, but I couldn't locate Mike anywhere.

Strolled around for an hour snapping pics and chatting with owners.

My lady and I enjoyed a nice 20 mile drive to Lewiston, near Niagara Falls to walk around and have some BBQ for dinner. After that we took it to Art Park and she drove it for the first time (we picked it up late last summer). She did a great job, stalled once and no grinding

Hit 80000 on the way back. Then loaded the kids into the volkswagon and went for icecream.

cardiffgiant · 07-06-2013, 06:27 PM

oops, double post

Ian c · 07-06-2013, 06:42 PM

Stopped at sunset beach for coffee , and cruised Huntington Beach for awhile , then back up pch to home .
A nice relaxing afternoon ahead of tommorow when I will be cutting open and modifying the exhaust that came today

TeamOxford · 07-06-2013, 08:40 PM

The PCH is an AWESOME drive!

I'm using a couple of young Huntington Beach companies at the moment ... Mechanics shop and a Bodyshop , so the little boxster does that drive pretty regular
