What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Borrowed a Hazet 17mm Hex tool to open the trans. No room to move it. This tool is for the old VW's.


Luckily, my neighbor loaned me this adapter which worked a treat.

Do not have a fluid transfer pump, but the gravity fill adapter I used on my Golf DSG fit the fill hole.

Jack stands don’t compare to these quick jacks. So easy to get them up in the air. I might change the oil while they are up there.

Working on the engine mount on my 98 Base. Pretty straight forward so far.

Lots of good tips on this forum. Specifically the tip for lowering the engine to slide out the bottom two bolts helped. I never had to take off the coolant hoses.

One tip I didn't see was to open up the engine cover behind the seats to access and loosen the top two bolts. This made them super easy to get at. Saved lots of time. *edit: saw this tip and the one above on the pelican comments section after I did the work! Guess I could have done even more research!

Bushing was cracked, but still intact. Car has 170k kms. 100k kms on a replacement engine. I believe this is the original bushing.

I am replacing with the lemfoerder unit (pretty sure it's almost OEM). I want to maintain stock feel.

Getting the new mount pressed in at a local shop. Then I'll reinstall tomorrow. Hoping to feel the difference everyone talks about.

*update: the vibration experienced at ~3k RPM is gone. And when I head over speedbumps the shifter movement is subdued. Total time in is about 1.5 hours (excluding getting the bushing pressed out). Worth the effort for the results.

Treated my soft top with 303 solution. Works great. Passed the water test and repels water well. Actually did it over the weekend and requires 12 to 24 hours to settle in.

I ran out of painters tape. If anyone treats their top I recommend tapeing off the plastic window and trim. I did a lot of wiping of over spray. Longest part of the job is rinsing out the soap.

Played with some wrap on my front bumper and gave her a good washing 😀
