What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[DavidsBoxster]

I installed Infinity door and dash speakers. What a difference it made. The only question I have, would it sound even better with an aftermarket 4 channel amp since the doors really don't put out much of anything?

I followed the video on making the old dash speakers in to brackets and it was so much easier than I thought it would be. The Infinity 4" have a huge magnet so i lost the plug-in though so I had to change the wires in the dash.

Washed it in a light cold rain, it starts out wet and no worry about the finish drying before a rinse!

Today:

- Pulled the clutch and flywheel.
- Put together a list of items to order:
-LN Dual row bearing
-LN IMS Faultless Tools
-LN IMS Pro Kit

-Porsche
-RMS installation tool
-RMS
-New flywheel
-New pressure plate
-New clutch
-New clutch release bearing

Then, sat in the garage looking at the 2000 S. Had a couple of beers and just thought about how great it is going to be to get her back on the road.

Yesterday I took a trip on a ferry.

[M4SGK1986]

Detailed the car inside and out, and fitted my new licence plate surround.

[MN 986]

Wow, M4SGK1986, that is a shiny Boxster. Looks great!

We have a week to 10 days of 50s and 60s forecasted in the Minneapolis area, so I put the insurance back on, pulled off the cover, and went for a nice top-down ride today with my Daughter. Definitely the earliest Spring drive in the 7 years I have owned it. I'll need to get the orbital out soon to get it looking as good as yours!

[Wild Bill]

Hey MN are you with any Porsche groups I live in Winona?

[DavidsBoxster]

Added a double din today. Still debating on getting the Eurospeed install kit.

Swapped out the motor mount with Pedro's TechnoMount - hooollleeee crap what a difference. I had no idea what that worn mount was doing to the ride and handling. Feels like it took years off the car, really didn't see that coming. Mine was split pretty bad, and I get $50 back for sending Pedro my core, so that's pretty sweet.

yeah, it's amazing how much balance the car has after doing this. of anything that i've done with the car, replacing the motor mount has had the most drastic improvement on the overall ride and feel.

Big work on the car last weekend and this weekend: I painted the calipers (red), changed the drop links desnorkeled the car and modified the muffler. The noise is now amazing
Next projects: Beltronics hardwire, motor mount, suspensions.

I got the OBC stalk installed and working on my 2001 S. I'd been waiting a year and a half to add this, it was 78 F here today, and I decided to get it done.

I really didn't want to mess with removing the airbag steering wheel, clock spring, etc. I also didn't want to disconnect the battery and lose my calibration...

SO, instead I pulled the top and bottom steering column covers (removed 2 side screws and 4 front cover (behind wheel) screws. You have to turn the wheel to access the screws holding on the front column cover.

Installed just the 4th stalk, Removed instrument cluster (IC), installed my harness. and reassembled.

Note #1: Be sure when re-installing the bottom steering column cover that you get the two bottom clips to snap in BEFORE you try to install the top column cover.

Note #2: You'll be installing the pins into the gray connector (closest to the drivers side of the car). The 101 Projects book doesn't indicate (at least anywhere that I could find) WHICH connector the new harness connects to. It's also the only connector with empty slots for pins 21-24 (at least on my 2001 S).

Note #3: I'm sure it's mentioned elsewhere, but on 2001+ cars the pins on the IC end are the same as the stalk end, so just buy the wires with the stalk connectors on both ends and don't cut them - no need to splice. You CAN make the earlier (slightly larger) pins fit, but it is a PITA to get them to seat all the way in. Once they are in they do work fine though.

Note #4: or better yet, buy a beautiful pre-built cable from Pdwight. It'll cost you less than buying the wires and connector and he does a really nice job. I would have bought one of his cables, but I'd already purchased all the parts to build mine when he came out with his.

Installed my refinished Porsche hood crest at lunch today. Now I need to get on the Dr. Colorchip. Dang...

[Jamesp]

Drove on 146 in a 60 mph zone between Baytown and Kemah Texas in a group of cars and a semi truck. Wasn't passing anybody, looked at the speedo and it was 84 mph...

[Pdwight]

Pumped by very messy hand 3 quarts of Fuchs's Transaxle lubricant in my long ongoing project. I couldn't believe how colorless this stuff is and how thin it seemed.

[Duquette5]

Cleaned throttle body, cleaned MAF, and fixed a vacuum leak. Purrrrrrr

[biglimited]

First topdown ride!

Put stripes on the car!
