What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[Deserion]

Washed the wheels as they were looking gross.

[kk2002s]

Replaced Front Motor Mount. Biggest fear, the old would be in perfect shape. It wasn't, as it was torn and cracked all around the rubber so replacement was needed. It is a tedious job in tight spaces. While trying to get the top (2) bolts (Hardest part) of the engine mount out, I just kept repeating what Pedro's write up suggest here, Be Patient. All in all about 5 hours.

- As is my way, after I buttoned it all up, lower the car, I look over in the corner of my garage and there is the Foam support that goes up in the center tunnel. I debated just leaving it out but wanted it right so had re-jack and support, take down the mid-cover and pop it back in.

- Car drives a little better but not a night and day thing.

- my hand are still sore a couple days later - Sucks getting old

Took some Mother's polish to my grimy, yellowed headlights this afternoon. Pictures don't do it justice, but I'd say it made a pretty significant dent for only 30 or so minutes of work.

This will have to hold me over until I can swap in a new pair of upgraded headlights.

I replaced my water pump... Again. A 1/4" drive 10mm deep well socket is your friend for this job.

Killed some bugs fast Beautiful night here in Texas, enjoying the top down before it gets too hot! I guess tomorrow I will have to wash it!

[ccstud17]

Went for a spirited drive in the foothills... and ended my day/night with this

[deptotpr]

Made another car payment today, but it's money well spent.

[woodsman]

ha ha made another car payment
I took apart two struts! Was difficult to get the nut off (!) both of them- even broke a tool or 2. Picked up my fr carriers from mechanic with new bearings pressed in and the kit to repair the stripped caliper mount thread in one of them-all in $300. ( if only I had read that thread about the Casper wheel bearing removal tool sooner) Researched, located and ordered the remote clamping tool from Sears for the oil-fill tube job ($35 plus ship. - $48) . I spend more time researching, locating and buying parts/ tools than pulling on good 'ol fashioned wrenches!!! I need to drive that car again! maybe I'll drive it without the bypass pipes and muffler!!hee hee cheap thrills what the hay, I'm 48 TODAY!!

[BruceH]

Happy Birthday Woodsman! I explained to my kids a long time ago, it doesn't matter new or used, wether it is paid off or not, you always have a car payment!

I drove around topless (Hahaha)and had all the female population staring at me. It was such a nice day in So Cal, so it had to be done.

That's funny, when I do that, the women don't look at me . . .

[tortoise944]

I drove the new 981 S everywhere today. My 3 year old said, once she got in it, "Oh daddy, this is so nice!". Then proceeded to ask me to make the daddy Porsche Vrooom over and over again.

She is hooked already!

Aqua Blue under a Carolina blue sky... nothing better!

[EricF]

Gorgeous! The front end of those 981s sure are mean looking!

I took the day off today - perfect opportunity to get some beach time in.

[Jager]

I took the day off too! I had a dental appointment first thing this morning, then I received a report from a friend that the R Group was having a Meet this weekend in Buellton, so I drove the Jägermobile to Buellton (a small town south of where I live) to see what was happening.

[woodsman]

I installed the oil-fill tube, a job that prevented installing the engine by about 4 days while I waited for the tube and remote clamping pliers to arrive. What a wonderous tool that--Sears has them for $35 I don't know how i'd have done the job without them. Saw them in a thread here about replacement of the coolant overflow-many thanks

[Jager]

Drove the Jägermobile up to Morro Bay (a small town a few minutes north of where I live), reliable sources said that there was a 356 North and South Meet there today. On my way I saw allot of those “R Group” guys on the freeway and about a dozen 356s zipping down the road.

What were these guys doing here?

[nieuwhzn]

Drove out to Montauk, Eastern tip of Long Island.
Traffic in the Hamptons was horrible, but we got a nice tan!

[BruceH]

Cool pics Jäger!
