Installed led interior-light kit
I converted all my interiro light bulds to led. Found a new problem and self induced another.
Lesson learned 18 year old plastic is very brittle. Broke clip that holds dome light in place. Trying a temp fix while i order a new one.
Found frunk light is in op and seems this is a normal problem.
Received pioneer single din head unit, in prep for audio upgrade.

if it's not too late, try ordering the newer switch type dome light instead of the old rocker type, the newer one has metal clips that won't break. Will need a new connector but it's pretty easy to source. See Dome light swap from 97 to 04 type, possible...?

Wish i knew this i ordered it and it shipped already! Next time.... At any rate my temp fix superglueing a misding tab back on is holding for the moment. Love the extra light, just wish the color was in the warmer zone.
Thanks for the note too....

I broke my Boxster out of winter storage, made sure everything was in fine order, fired it up, warmed it up, and drove all over my town with the top down. Sunny winter day with 40-ish daytime temperatures - a perfect day for a drive! Froze my keister off, but it was excellent! Now to get it cleaned up, and ready for warmer weather!

Taillight tinting
Turned the amber red and tinted taillights and side markers while I wait on the weather. I'll upload photos if I get around to resizing

Blew one of my titanium mufflers open for the 2nd time. Time to pull it off and take it back to the exhaust shop. Good thing I still have some titanium welding rod left from the last time!

Took it out for its first drive of 2018....100 km to warm up the gearbox oil before I changed it! Its a gorgeous day and above freezing. The highways were dry. That Porsche stuff is $$$ but it seems less notchy already based on the short test drive. I also changed the little rubber dam in front of the front tire.

Watched the new owner drive away in Scarlett, my MY99 Boxster. Sold within 21 hours after posting on Craigslist.
The new owner is a private aircraft owner with experience working on horizontally opposed engines. Hopefully, he can get the engine back up to spec and enjoy the hell out of it like I have during the last five years.
Enjoying the Cayman, but the Boxster is much more fun to drive.
Just sayin'...................

It's not spring until Ray has re-painted a set of wheels. But with the weather outside my window last night, it seems I've got plenty of time!
Even for Norway this winter has been VERY snow heavy.

Dropper her off at my local indie mechanic for service. Going to get a full array of filters and oil. Also going ahead and have sparkplugs changed, not due until 60K km but they have not been changed in at least 5 years, i suspect they are the original plugs that came in the car. The tires were, i change them last summer.

Went for a drive for the first time since a rando 50 degree day in January. Good timing for it to start warming up too - the clutch master cylinder on my winter car just exploded, and I'd much rather spend the nice days driving the car rather than being under it.
Also got some new goodies on the way next week or so - set of Carrera Light wheels, Michelin Pilot Super Sports, and a new top.
