What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[Zzorro]

I made the following repairs:

-replaced the MAF with one I found locally from a wrecker for $75. Thought it would roll the dice instead of buying new and that not solve my issues. I cleared the CEL with my Durametric. No more CEL and it runs way way better. Better idle, smoother at low RPM range and the smell of over-fuelling from the exhaust is gone.

-I replaced the steering wheel airbag retainer frame with OEM porsche unit to fix the common horn honk issue. Works great now! No more issues.

And of course took it out for a nice drive. Cold but sunny today in Vancouver BC area!

My next repairs include engine mount and shocks/struts all around.

It sure is rewarding bringing this little Boxster back to life after some hard years.

Spent the last 2 weeks fixing the rear cv axle boots. First time working under a car, was certainly interesting hahaha...

Points worth noting:
1. Left rear axle was stuck - had to soak the left rear axle in de-ruster, then use a axle puller borrowed from adv auto parts
2. Brought axle to this speciality axle shop in MD that has been fixing cv boots/axles for 15-25 years. Only costed me $130 with return shipping for all 4 rubber boots - would recommend
3. During reassembly, transmission undercover/rear sway bar refused to go back (~5mm gap!). Used ratchet strap to pull both suspension pillars together which lined up the holes correctly

very bad photo for now, i promise to provide better ones soon!

I like the pic. It looks like it is about to be beamed aboard a space ship.
