What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[Nevergrowup]

Thanks! How about now? I think I managed to put them in a shared folder now...

[QUOTE=grc0456;509961]Ditto. Love the look of those wheels, Doc :[/QOUTE]

Brake dust is my mortal enemy and I hate it, but I have never been a fan of black wheels. To each, his own.


No external cosmetic mods planned other than perhaps replacing the BOXSTER S emblem on rear trunk lid.

No emblem cuts rear waxing/detailing time by at least half; but, the paint has slightly faded around the BOXSTER S emblem such that the letters now appear as slightly darker paint beneath the clear coat.

Without the Boxster emblem, I believe one may better view and appreciate the artistic lines of the well-formed rear curvatures I could have the trunk lid repainted but fear an imperfect paint match would be even less acceptable; thus the need for a new emblem.

Thanks again! BruceH!

I replaced the coolant expansion tank on my '00 S. I used an OEM tank from Pelican and Porsche antifreeze. Big thanks to everyone's previous post on this subject; your tech tips were very helpful!! Overall about 4-5 hours and wow those clamps are difficult to reach. I completed the job by accessing the lines from the top.
While the Boxster was down for maintenance I got to drive my Z:


Cheers,

I drove down a twisty country road with trees along each side that touch forming a canopy. Something magical about driving down a shaded road in a cool breeze, the ride was amazing.

Drained the oil, inspected the filter and magnetic plug... all looks good. Filled it back up, and drove it hard.
Sending sample out for analysis today.

Washed it and detailed it after returning from the sickening beauty of Lake Tahoe. (Sorry to the poor bastardos that have never been to Lake Tahoe).

I shredded some bald and cracked 996 (Original 1999 date code) tires on the skidpad at local track..

[SteelStroke]

Took mine on a 250 mile trip through Colorado Canyon Country to break in my new Continental DWS06's. SCWEET!

Went for an evening drive and passed a major milestone.


That is about 59,000 miles

[ryanjboutin]

Acquired a 1999 Boxster last Saturday.

[kk2002s]

Took a nice little 200 mile drive last night. On the way home on a major hwy just cruising at 70 mph in the slow lane, I started to see blood streaks on the road. Then small bits of deer. I started thinking this is a fairly fresh hit and I hope there isn't a carcass directly ahead. Then all of a sudden there was a sizable part, couldn't avoid. I squeezed my butt checks and hope I don't hear major damage. Hear it bang under the car but no major noise.
I keep driving, everything runs fine. When I get home I look under the car, mainly hoping the 2 flaps under the car are still there. Well it is messy under there and tonight I have some cleaning to do but no apparent damage

Took in the Boxster to dealership to find out why I was getting smell of gas in garage; no warning lights, passed inspection in May 2016, and no leaks. Dealer found MASS sensor was sending too much fuel to engine and surging idle. Cost to replace MASS Sensor $800.00. They did check tires, brakes, topped off liquids (windshield wiper fluid). I should've replaced MASS sensor myself for $200.00 at Amazon, but I'm getting ready to travel and waited too long for a DIY

Replaced my 8 year old Continental Sport Contact 2 tires with a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06, what a difference new tires make!! Now I'm ready for the Peachstate PCA Tail of the Dragon tour on 10/5.

This was from Wed, not today, but I hit a decent milestone. I was on the way to range when this popped up. After this I got to do a bit rally driving with the box before doing some shooting.

Just put a set on my 03 S and took it on a 250 mile trip to break them in. Awesome!
