What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Put the stock shifter and shift boot back on. Previous owner had installed a Ben's short shift kit with side lever upgrade. I never had a chance to feel the stock shifter until today and I'm not upset!

Might consider parting ways with the other shifter (full assembly) but I think I need a spirited driving day to be confident.

Interesting. I have Ben’s SSK with billet side lever, and I much prefer it to stock - which I thought felt to long and rope-y. Ben’s kit also just about eliminated the side to side slop. But, to each his own!

Want to get rid of the Bens's shifter?

Much has been wrenched and done to the car in a year of ownership. Now the car feels real good and solid.
Took it on the track at Kymiring (Finland) on Fri-Sat and on Sunday to local Porsche Club (PCF) slalom at the airfield - fabulous weekend!
Tire pressures for the track took some dialing, but looks like I found a good balance now with 1.8 Bar at front and 2.3 Bar Rear as cold pressures.

Can't wait end of August similar weekend to come :dance:

I will have one available soon if you're still interested.

My headlights both have the dreaded burn-in. I picked up a passenger side headlight for 100 bucks from a FB marketplace seller. Looked in decent shape without burn-in.

For 100 bucks there had to be something wrong with it. And I found it last night. One of the small plastic headlight retainer socket/tabs is broken. I'm going to try to epoxy it and see if that can work.

I must say, these little units are exceedingly complicated! I can see why they sell for so much. But it does make me ask why they needed to make them so complicated!
