What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

That's some major coinage! All I got from doing the same was about 27 cents and some burnt cigar wrappers.

Ordered a pair on contis Dws-06 for the rear as my Michelins A3s are starting to show cordage...
Pretty sure if I don't throw her sideways she's only spinning one rear so so much for the limited slip.

Put more miles on the magnaflow and it's mellowing out but still has some resonance between 2-3000 rpm and a bit of buzz over 4000. Will brace the tailpipes and put the factory cats back on but with o2 bungs added to see if I can lose the CEL.

Wings and Wheels tomorrow, and on Monday we are off to Nova Scotia for a couple of weeks in the Boxster.

First thing was to check all the drains, since it will be parked outside in Nova Scotia. Glad I did, because the left rear drain was completely blocked and the right front drain was partially blocked. There were also leaves and other debris in the foam "funnels". Got them cleared and then decided to have a peek at the engine, so I pulled the carpet, sub woofer and the engine cover. A lot easier than I expected. The engine can use a bit of cleaning, but that will have to wait.

After that I did a thorough wash and checked the tire pressures all the way around. Had lost about 10 PSI on each tire after cooling down from the HPDE at Thompson.

Last night I cleaned the seat leather, then applied a nice coat of conditioner followed by a plastic wrap cover. Used Chamberlain's cleaner, and their Leather Milk #4 for the conditioner. Smells nice.

Received and popped in my replacement mesh. I will zip-tie these before I drive.

Thanks Woody's Parts, great part and great price.

So, these things can come out while driving? Please tell me more, I guess I have been lucky since 2003.

That's what another poster said happened to his. Someone borrowed mine while I was away from it for a few minutes. Either way, I'm going to make it harder to pop out. Driving or otherwise.

Did a quick detailing on my two favorite street legal rides

[jakeru]

Got windshield rock chips repaired in my 2001 daily driver...


The mobile service did a great job!

Replaced both driver and passenger window regulators. I went with the new URO Premium parts. Appear to be very well made. Windows are now very quiet and do the drop when I pull the door handles.

Bought an old set of bumperettes from Woody's to try this out. I'll wait 24 hrs then wet sand and clear. 😀

Yep! I would of gotten started a lot earlier if everyone shipped as fast as you do. I got the bumpers in two days from you. Took 11 days to get the paint from paint scratch. �� You are the man when it comes to fast. Two orders, both received in two days.

Thanks again.

[JBauer]

I couldn't wait. I'll buff them on the car 😀
Before and after:

[fridsten]

I just washed it after having been away tracking it during the weekend. My wife also drove it on the track. It was her first time, and I'm very happy she enjoyed it.

Well I got wacked on my way home from work tonight. Sitting stopped at a red light and the lady in the minivan behind me hit me. It was a hard tap but the real damage was she pushed me into the car in front of me. My front hood is toast, the bumper may be salvageable, and it looks like there is only the smallest of dimples in my rear bumper. Luckily my Nine9Six projector headlights appear to have survived intact. Unfortunately I am supposed to drive to Mt. Tremblant for HPDE on July 14-16, and I don't know if my car will be fixed by then. Oh well, no one was hurt and it could have been a lot worse!

Best wishes for a reasonably quick and a high quality repair! Glad that you are ok.

During my driving life, I've been rear ended twice, both times by distracted drivers while I was already stopped at a red light and I was the second or third car at the light, with my foot lightly on the brake to keep the brake lights on. Once in Houston in my guards red 924S and once in Dallas in my newly repainted bright blue (I forget what Ford calls that color) 1968 Mustang. Getting rear-ended is one of the many things I really watch for, especially when riding a motorcycle.

The first words out of the nice middle aged lady's mouth that hit my 924S were 'my husband is going to kill me for doing this again to my new Cadillac'

Thanks, I have been on both sides of this too many times now. Last January I was the one who didn't come to a stop quite fast enough when freeway traffic came to a halt with my Boxster, so the front was perfect, not a stone chip on it! I also found out there is a waitlist for my upcoming HPDE so I can cancel without penalty. The ironic thing is my daily driver Acura TL was backed into in the car wash line 10 days ago by Toyota FJ with a tow hitch and it was getting a new front bumper cover installed yesterday.

[JBauer]

After looking at my bumperettes today I decided that they just didn't look that good. 😐 I could still see the textured finish. So being OCD I'm redoing them. I sanded and primed over and over and I think this one came out alot better. 😀

Installed my repaired key remote yesterday (thanks, particlewave!). I'm shocked that I actually have distance (not to mention the reliability) with this thing now.
