What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[F18febe]

I installed ECS wheel spacers. 5mm in the front and 15mm on the rear. Also adjusted the parking brake, installed an alcantara shift boot, and aluminum race pedals.

Now, I need to get my GT projectors installed and clean up the lens.

Replaced both side dash vents with new (used) parts. Old vents were marked up and the louvers were not adjustable anymore.

Yesterday took delivery of two new torque wrenches, thought about using them. But then only went out to the garage to look at her. Have a long list of things to get accomplished this winter, I should probably get going.

finally installed the top speed muffler and pipes on my 2000 and boy does it sound marvelous!! initially had some exhaust leaks which caused some droning between 2k and 3 k (it was a bit loud but bearable) but after rolling with it for about 300 miles i re tightened everything (used the easy seal clamps) and now it's as crisp as it can be. droning is virtually gone and it's less loud but when you jump on it the sound is just as i would have wanted this car to sound from factory.

tunnels and overpasses are just instant stress relievers! sounds like a swarm of angry African bees and you just can't stop smiling! i was going to upgrade my sound system next but now.. who cares! gas mileage is in the toilet though.. i'm on the gas all the time.

my only regret is not installing this sooner although it was nice to experience the boxster in it's stock form which was not bad at all. i do miss the intake sound a bit.

best mod so far!! more people should experience this amount of fun for just 500$

I kept it and sold my 99 M Roadster instead.

Got these a while ago, but wondering if anyone else has these. Alumalook clock and trip reset stems for the gauges...I always felt the standard stems looked real cheap.

I like them too and actually need to replace one I broke.

Yesterday was the coldest day so far this season so I went to my garage, slipped back the car cover and looked at my car. That was it. I envy you people in the southern US.

I work for StandardAero which is headquartered in Scottsdale. We have a big site with 1,200 employees in Winnipeg. Get a job there and maybe we can get you transferred south.

I know Standard Aero quite well. I'm recently retired but the company I worked for supplied them industrial gases and related equipment.

I know, your next question is why the hell did I retire in Winnipeg. All I can say is, it is my home. I was down in the Phoenix area last March visiting my sister who spends 5 months a year in Mesa. She loves it down there.

I've only had my Boxster for about 2 months. I cleaned it, waxed it, upgraded the stereo (about to redo the entire sound system), replaced headlights and tail lights, replace wheel center caps, replace all trunk lifts, about to install mesh headrest inserts and paint rotors, added etched glass decal and valve stems, about to add rear diffusers/splitters....I love this car and by the Summer of 2016 I expect to have one of the best ones on the road!!

bumperette-ectomy.




Was thinking of doing one with louvres.




Needs a bit more paint, car needs to be cleaned and put to bed properly...

[Boxtaboy]

Thanks, I got em a while ago from the site below. They are pricey, but I've had em since 09, and as you can see, they've held up just fine and look great.

Cleaned all glass and Zaino Z6 detail sprayed the hell out of her...

[Fintro11]

had to stop in at work today

[PaulE]

and went out for a quick spin. Recorded my top speed on my phone's speedometer app. (Actually, I was in Japan a few weeks ago, recorded that top speed while on the Bullet Train from Kyoto to Tokyo!)

[Boxtaboy]

Cleaned her and took a pic...

[grc0456]

Nice! You've done a lot in 2 months. Did you research those LED headlamps before buying? I've read some of them have had quality/burning problems.

I am very close to pulling the trigger on new headlamps as I need to get rid of the pre-2003 ambers that are on my 2003. I've been thinking of just buying the OEM halogens and converting them to HID (my ambers are converted), or maybe just leaving them halogen with Osram Night Breaker bulbs.

[Xpit77]

As they say in these parts. Goin out for a rip. Last spirited drive then away for a week while were spending Christmas in Banff. Waay tooo far to drive it there but, someday.


MERRY to YA`ll
