I spent the last week driving a triple black convertible in the LA beach area,,, too bad it was a rental Mustang. As far as the Boxster, I pushed the snowblower past it when I got home to clear the 4-5" of snow from storms when I was gone.
I am ready for Spring!!

I finally got the GT3Tek mounted after its been sitting in the garage painted for almost 3 months... took less than 45min to mount and fits like a glove!
I think I like it

Man I miss that area. Spent many a year driving highway one. Lived in Santa Maria for years and wonder why I left sometimes!

Of course here in Florida, I had a pleasant drive to work...top down of course

Well, I finally got the Boxster out of hibernation today. It doesn't really feel like Spring yet and there is still snow on the ground, but the roads are clear and I couldn't wait any longer!
I just installed the 'turbo style' side vents and I really like how they mimic the horizontal bar in the AerokitII front bumper openings. When it warms up a little, I will install the GT3Tek rear diffuser I bought a few months ago,,, just got it from the bodyshop today and it looks great.
'Permagrin' is back!

Changed left front radiator hoses. Top and bottom. Front and back. You need more than that special spring clip tool (although it is very helpful). It's a bit too big to fit in some of the tighter spots. I found long long handled pliers with an 'L' shaped or curved bite worked when the spring clip remover didn't fit.

Right front already done.

Drove it the 50 miles out to Fontana Speedway. 1st time out on the freeway with light traffic since the new intake system & DME remap. WOW the 3.6L likes what I've done, seems to get smoother the more miles I put on it. Beautiful day, put the top down later. Just when I thought this car could not get any funner it has!

I parked it in its new home in the garage of the house I just bought in FL. Closed yesterday the 10th.



Next project... Car wash, followed by oil & filter change.
