Conti EC DWS 06 on my 03 Base as well about 10k miles ago. No problems to report. Good all around street tire for the Northeast.

Great to hear the positive feedback, I'm looking forward to the Tail of the Dragon road trip on the new Conti's! Tour the Tail of the Dragon - Peachstate PCA

Just acquired 2003 Boxster with 25K mi. Mint ci
Woke to a glorious sunny day - first real opportunity to take her out on a test run. Brought it to "Matthew" speed on the 95 and as expected very stable and solid ride. When you bank into the cloverleaf it does truly feel like it's on rails. Perfect balance and amazing transition in turns. WOW!
It's not about the raw power off the line (like the Charger 392), but the finesse and ability to provide an awe inspiring level of confidence through telepathically conveyed information of the road beneath, and the surroundings with top down. It tells you what you can do precisely with confidence.
A DREAM TOP DOWN DRIVE.

Sounds great, Wizard. You describe the Boxster experience perfectly. Do you have any pics to share?

Picked up my first Boxster on Friday...it was a Craigslist find, but the seller wound up being a PCA instructor who had aspirations of turning the car into a Spec Boxster racer, just like me. 1999, 81k, hardtop and a few other goodies. Excited to join the fold here!

PGas32,
Nice that it came with the hardtop. If you do need/want it there are plenty of folks looking for one.

Finally installed a iPhone connection for my CDR-210 head unit (iSimple IS7705). That following new dash speakers (Focal Access 100 CA1). The difference is sound quality is night and day. Also, switched out the cigar lighter out for a dual USB charger, although the phone connection acts as a charger as well.

I removed my soft top from the frame. Rear window stitching failed. Bought a new top, now waiting to find a few replacement parts (foam pieces) before I go the other direction w/the new top.

While it may cause some to have palpitations, I fitted a Cloak Dock from Alien Gear:

Is this some sort of cloaking device? Because I could really use a mod like that!

Prepped the Boxster for her hibernation. Washed her, changed oil and filter, added fuel stabilizer & topped it up, checked the coolant (good to -45C), added wiper fluid (-45C), pumped tires to 60 psi, hooked up battery maintainer, covered her up. :ah:
I did it earlier than normal this year because i will be away for a chunk of October and figured I wouldn't be driving it anyway so i saved on some insurance.
Looking forward to spring

New Michelin Pilot Super Sports on all four corners last Friday. After visiting the local Cars and Coffee on Saturday morning I took the long way home. One corner in particular brought back both the permagrin and goose bumps at the same time. To be honest I had never had the courage to push quite as far before with the older tires but the car cornered like it was on rails. I suppose tires are a little like the clutch or the brakes in that the change is gradual over time and you don't really notice the difference until you renew them.

"Tinted" the top half of the tail light last weekend. A p.o. had installed the ones with the completely white turn signal part, and although they were cool, I thought the smoked look is better.
So I purchased some smoked contact paper from the local auto parts dealer, and went to town with a scalpel.
And yes, my oil filler tube is leaking... or the car is marking its Territory.

Washed and waxed using Zymol creame for the first time. I am very happy with the outcome.

Yesterday I rebuilt the starter, spliced wires for the knock sensor, and replaced an O2 sensor in the Beater-Boxster. Today I met up with my gang and terrorized small rural villages.

Reset the CEL for P0133... hoping it doesn't come back. I changed both primary O2s last year.
