What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

My car's been off the road and in the shop since early last July for an engine rebuild. It took just a bit less than forever to have 3.6 LN Nickies installed, but the block came back a few weeks ago and the engine rebuild is almost complete now. Hopefully I'm back on the road in a couple of weeks and it will be broken in come Spring.

Gonna be 68* today in tucson. So today is the day I'll lift the car on jackstands and try to install a new AOS. Winter is our convertible & car repair season and mostly I've been doing everything but. If time permits, I'll tackle the driver's door window, too. I put a new regulator in last year, the window has stopped working again.

I like the idea of the 3.6 engine, PaulE, you're a much braver soul and have deeper pockets than I do. I'm kinda envious.

Thanks Brian, I am going to be married to this car for a while. I struggled for a while with what to do, but in the end since there was no damage to the major engine components (block, crank, rods, heads) I decided to go for the rebuild rather than a used engine. I could have sold the car as a roller but it is really the perfect car for me to do a few HPDE's in each year and learn a bit about driving on the track. The Nickies at $5k were a luxury but Porsche OEM rings are $1,200, although there are others that cost way less than that.
