Detailed the black boxster with turtlewax black box, holy crap what a diff. Scratches I had noticed have now vanished. I also did the wet look on the tires and other treatments to the interior, first time detailing a car and it was alot of fun.

130 mile back road trip with the local PCA chapter.
Around 80 P-cars, mostly 911, a dozen or so boxsters ,a few caymens, 3 x 968 and a Panamera and a 356
Probably 80 miles of it was twisties (yea baby )
Beautiful San Diego weather great fun and the planets must have been aligned as there was almost no traffic to slow us down. We were probably spread out over 1-2 miles.
It was fun watching people on the side of the road as we passed with their heads swiveling back and forth as Porsche after Porsche passed them
This was my first one and it was an absolute blast. definitely one of the best 3.5 hours I have spent in a long time

Realized that my plastic window finally bit the dust. Huge crack near the spot where the seam needed to be glued.
I knew that it was only a matter of time. I will be ordering a new one tomorrow

Fixed my stuck rear wing
I bought the car about a month and a half ago and developed a punch list of items needing to be addressed. One of the biggies was the wing went up half way when I got the car then never moved again!
Bought a manual online and went to town tonight! Turned out to be a simple fix. After taking it apart I could see one of the bumper holder tabs was out too far and hitting the wing. Easy fix... Feeling a bit proud of myself on my first project. Hoping the other projects go this well!
:-)

Forgive the bad lighting... it was late when I finished. Put the Top Speed mufflers and cat deletes in. Actually had the mufflers in already, but had to disconnect to do the cat deletes. A much better sound now with a near stock sound when cruising. I'm way happier now than I was with just the muffler.
As for power, I can't really tell if there's much more. It does get up a bit better in the lower rpms though. I'll be at the track soon and will be able to tell better there. Overall I'm very pleased and would highly recommend.
Now I just have to get an updated flash to take full advantage of the upgrade. $$$

Filled the tank and took her to the Mount Hood National forest via the winding hilly roads of the Historic Columbia River Highway (Hwy 30). Its only about 20 minutes from my house so this will be a regular stomping ground for me when Im looking for a spirited ride. This shot was taken today just before entering the National Forest proper. Still learning the car but just a man and his Boxster testing the limits of gravity and adhesion.

I made polish, wax and cleaned it, then I installed an LED light just below the headlights seen in photo, where you can see, cleaned the 19" rims, but now I saw that the top is a bit loose from behind, and also its just eating through my petrol lol, but that's because I am stepping on it I guess, because when I go highway (limit is 120km) here, and go with 5th gear, it just feels bad the car is screaming, what are you doing saint? that's what I noticed so far, but the thrill of that mid engine is so... damn awesome!

Cleaned it up after last Saturdays AutoX in preparation for the drive next weekends drive to Monterey for the Porsche Parade. Finally thought of a good background for some pictures. Bad light but I hate pics with busy backgrounds.

You will have many photo opportunities along highway 1, if you take that route, and don't pass me without waving!:dance:

I stopped by there on the way home from work yesterday to see who was at the SCCA meet .... Pretty much the same track as pca had laid out , but I had an empty tank and my helmet was at home

I forgot to take pictures, but this weekend, I replaced the water pump and thermostat. Double flushed the coolant. Changed the oil and filter. And I replaced one tie rod. Don't laugh. I was beat. Plus I had the other side against a wall and decided not to mess around with trying to replace the other from underneath the car. I got the car off the jack stands for the first time in a couple months and drove it (slowly, because I only had 4 lugs installed on each of the front wheels) around the block so I could turn it around to gain access to the other side.
Next weekend, install the tie rod, change spark plugs, and replace the front bumper. I'm waiting to do that, because I think it looks cool without the front bumper. Then let the prettification start. Finally.
