What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Pioneer TS-WX130DA Compact active subwoofer

Sounds similar to my setup, i blew my pioneer same model, have a kicker now. But i think i liked the pioneer more but didn't want to risk frying voice coils again.

thanks muchly. finally got to race it after a season of engine problems and it is running great. need a bit of time to tune the suspension to my hack driving style (and 6 year old tires) and it will be perfect (for a 50-year old car with lucas electrics and a tractor engine). fun driving a front-engine car after learning to track on a boxster; fact is, while mid-engine is 'perfectly balanced' and all that, a front-engined car is pretty darned predictable with less tendency to point the wrong way when you make a mistake. having fun, and got some alfas to catch up with now ...

Finally found the time to wire and install my OEM manual radiator fan switch and garage door opener. I still need to hookup the night illumination but it will have to wait because I want to replace some other wiring at the same time. (I cringe when I look at photos of the wiring I did 12 years ago.) Some very basic info, all the fan switch does is ground pin 85 from the high speed fan relays. I had a basic on/off switch for the last few months, but wanted everything to look original. Because OEM switches are momentary switches I used a latching relay, this also allows the switch LED to illuminate once the fan switch has been triggered.

Because I only have one garage door both sides of the switch are wired together and the wires are soldiered to my garage door opener circuit board. I have very limited soldering experience, and this took me longer than I care to admit.

I did lose the "PORSCHE" decal I had on my old batwing, I think I may get an arctic silver "986" decal for this new batwing. I have more info about the wiring for the fan relay mod on my website, and I will create a DIY when I have time.

Thanks to everyone on this forum that helped me figure out the wiring for this project!






EDIT: Found some time, DIY Guide is up: DIY: Manual Radiator Fan Switch w/ an OEM Switch

I haven't seen one of those before; very cool! I also like the idea of a "986" decal.

thanks. some video from the last race (not much of my car, unfortunately - red #11). a few shots of a spyder (kit) 906 (kit) and a couple of early 911 race cars. felt good to pass the 911 in my triumph - does that make me a forum traitor?
