What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[dsallean]

Worked on replacing my variocam tensioner, pads and chains in bank one this weekend. It is so tight but doable. Unfortunately despite being what I thought was very careful I was betrayed by my torque wrench in a tight spot and broke a bolt. I did manage to get the tensioner and cams out, new tensioner and pads and chain reassembled and installed before the mishap. A minor setback but I will see this project thru.

Traded my gold hood badge for silver.

Went out to my garage to find that thieves had broken in and had stolen my big floor jack and the indoor cover for my Boxster. They must have been in a hurry because they left my outdoor cover (the one I bought from Boxtaboy) and my Porsche car charger, which was hooked up to my car.

I was planning to sell the indoor cover but losing that jack hurts. I bought it specifically to use with the Boxster (it was super low and had a really long reach). (I really loved that jack)...

I'm in a gated community, and they apparently did this today sometime between 9am and 2pm. Looks like they used a crowbar to rip the key access out of the wall and then jumped the wires to open the garage. They also did this to 4 other units.

Oh well, at least they didn't steal my car!

Drove it to PCNA HQ tonight, did demo laps, and then had an awesome buffet dinner with other PeachState PCA members at PCNA's 356 restaurant.

So, I guess, despite the theft, today was a win.

I hope these pics are visible, have had problems With my shared folders on Google...

Did a rattlecan refurbish over the holidays.

Wheels; The wheels look very nice. Excellent job. I really like the red decals under the intake vent. Never seen that done quite like that before.

Gated Community Theft; I would be asking for a refund on those HOA fees. Any tweaker neighbor kids about?

Looks good! I've been thinking of doing the same to mine. Where did you get yours from?

Thanks!
It was a Christmas gift, so I don't know for sure where it came from or cost. It's a 993 part # and new.

Wow..sorry to hear man. Glad you didn't lose the outdoor cover too, or your car.

Thanks Boxtaboy!

Turns out our maintenance supervisor ran into the thieves and made them leave the property when they couldn't explain why they were here. No one knew at that time that they had already burglarized all the garages (they had moved on to another area in the community). But he got their license plate number (Home Depot rental truck) and we have them on video entering and leaving through the main gates. Police are hopeful that they can track them down and prevent this from happening to someone else...

Yeah, really glad they took the indoor cover and not the outdoor cover I got from you! The indoor cover was a prototype I bought from a local club member who works for Kimberly Clark - it was a really nice 4 layer one but it wasn't waterproof (just dust proof). It was really thick and took up about twice the space of the external cover. Oh well...

Mounted the hardtop I picked up over the weekend from a local seller. Picked up the spinlocks and shoulder bolts from Woody (Thanks Woody!).

Of course it rained today, but no water leaks noted. Going to let the top "settle" for awhile before making final adjustments.

That hardtop, in that color especially, looks great

Trying to troll me on a Dallas thing?

I'm a die hard Giants fan, so the Dallas/Green Bay game is immaterial to me.

Looking forward to a New England/Atlanta Super Bowl.

Just sayin'.............

You misspelled "Pittsburgh."

Just finished this fiberglass piece(don't really know what to call it) to cover the boring carpet between the seats, I also made an armrest cover that snaps over the leather cover. Let me know what you think?

[grc0456]

Outstanding craftsmanship, 914! As usual
