Who else has dewinterized? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

It finally came time to dewinterize Nicole and as of yesterday she is ready and rarin' to go! My GF made numerous comments on my grin from ear to ear! As has been said before it feels almost like getting a new car. As soon as I took the cover off to expose her beauty I fell in love all over again!

We had some rain yesterday and looks like there is some more in the forecast so I'm planning on driving her next weekend to the 986forum Chicago get together.

I also summerized my truck as well (removed winter tires and weight in the rear).

I think you're the first, Sammy!!! I changed my plugs and bought the oil, oil filter and new air filter. I also have a GT3 bumper and skirts to install (I'm starting this weekend on that). I'll probably have mine out and ready sometime in April. With any weather-luck, I'll put more than the standard 2k miles on the car this year!!!

The Buckeyes are in your city this weekend.....GO BUCKS!!!!

I started the process today. Here are a few things I did today:

1) 2 coats of Ragg Topp
2) Wiped off the wheels- got kinda dusty on the bottoms, even w/the car cover
3) RejeX'd front wheels

Maybe tomorrow I put some Z2 on or try the #425 PerfectLap convinced me to purchase. I hope to be driving in about 1-2 weeks.

A better question is who has winterized??

Not me!

I just installed the GT3 bumper and side skirts. Even with the wheels off of the car, I really like the look of this mod! I thought I'd have trouble putting everything on without help (another pair of hands), but it went very smooth.

RaggTopp and Collinite #915 are next.

When I get her off the jacks, I'll take some pics. My goal is to have the seal grey version of the TriGem Box.

I dewinterized my Box about 2 weeks ago and it was not a day too soon! We had a brutal 2 or 3 day winter this year in Florida (but it felt more like a week) and I'm just glad it is over.

I finally took mine out yesturday! What a rush. Damn this thing is a rocket compared to my daily driven 06 Mazada 3. I forgot how much fun this thing is to drive. The sound of that flat 6 winding out to redline is so addicting I was like a rat hitting the lever for more cocaine in a test lab.

I have!!! drove the Boxster S all morning and than the ol' 911 in the afternoon, a GOOD Porsche day!

Mines back on the road with a fresh 60k service. I replaced the plugs and flushed the brakes today which were the last things that I needed to do.

Just dewinterized mine today. Even though we got a good amount of snow yesterday, the roads were in decent shape, and boy was it fantastic to get in the Boxster again.
