Any DIY'rs in CT do lock/IS mechanism install?

Interesting.



I joined the PCA Ct chapter when I first bought my car in 01. Never really got that involved. I recently joined again but there is little to no communication from them. I signed up for a newsletter but never get any "news". I also emailed a couple people on their contact list asking if there are any Boxster groups in CT. Never received a response. Same ole same ole.

Is it possible they stopped these sessions due to liability? Is it possible that the club sponsors who just happen to own indie repair shops put a stop to it? I don't know, just guessing. I love wrenching on my own cars and I can afford to bring to the dealer.

That being said, I'm all for trying to get a group together. Any ideas how to start one or see if there is any interest?

Sure. This very thread is being read by Boxster owners in CT. So let's gauge interest in a group by asking right now...if you are a Boxster owner in CT, RI, the Hudson Valley, or southern MA, and are interested in getting together for Tech Sessions to do oil changes, installs, and solving problems, chime in here.

If this thread doesn't get some responses in a week or so, we could try a separate thread here on starting a group.

There is also a Boxster-specific PCA sub-group I belong to, and I can post there.

You have a good point about the indie shops sponsoring CVR. It is worse than that, because the DEALERS are also sponsors of CVR, so I do not think CVR is going to be interested in being the home of our sub-group.

I have a pal in Wallingford that will want to join, so you, me, and him makes three! Who else?
