Cleaned my leather seats and used some old Zymol leather treatment which did a great job.. lanolin and aloe with Neatsfoot oil!. Did a great job!

I have this kit ordered https://www.furnitureclinic.com/Leather_Colorant_Kit.php Watch the video attached to that page. Saw it done on TV while watching "Wheeler Dealers" on Velocity they were fixing up a Boxster for re-sale

Refurbished my scuffed sill plates with Plasti-Dip. Cheap and easy project, and it turned out great.

Flushed the brake fluid x 2 cars. Found it was easy enough to do with the wheels on, wrenching between the spokes. Quick and easy using the Motive Power Bleeder. Taking them in for tech inspection later this week.

Being towed to my indy to have ignition switch replaced. I know it`s a DYI job but at 62 my body won`t contort enough.
Here`s the best part. They key won`t go into the tumbler. When I did get it out the steering won`t lock. And because its tip I cant get it into N. So no flatbed. Then when they get it to the shop they have to back it in the bay.$40 part 100 labor. Free tow thanks to CAA.

Drove up to South Lake Tahoe via Hwy 50, yesterday. Found myself behind a Golf R32 on the way back. He didn't like having a Boxster on his tail. I quit following when he exceeded 90 MPH on the 55 MPH sections. Too many blind intersections on that road.

Front engine mount was bad on This and I didn't even know. Another note: I had flushed the brakes with Prestone DOT 4 Synthetic, they recommended I use a higher temperature fluid next time even though it met the standard.

Annual occurrence now; drove my 20 years old Superboxster into the elevated airport's parking to avoid having it flooded. Already about half a dozen of ferrari and lambo parked there this afternoon. The place is getting famous for saving cars so you have to run there a few days before if you want a spot lollll

This angry thing is coming right at us spinning at 175mph. Not worried for now but these pacific typhoon often intensify when they hit the mainland and in 75% of the cases climbs right up and flood the fk out of us. Ask me how I know, not talking any chances :/

Yesterday evening I built a fire extinguisher bracket and mounted it in front of the passenger seat.

I used 25mm wide and 2mm thick aluminium strips and stainless screws and nuts (nyloc) to piece it together. Then I mounted it to the front seat bolts.

Too kind brother :cheers:

On that attached pic, the red banner, the SuperB and I are hiding behind the first "N" (word typhoon). Let's hope this beast doesn't swivel upward as they always do :/ Christ we just got flooded, everything is already at full capacity here.

I'll post pic of myself wearing my 2016 Swimwear soon. Daytona Beach stuff wait and see :cool:

Spent 6 hours to wash, clay, polish, wax and buff the exterior, http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1468090683.jpg

grc0456 07-09-2016 01:23 PM

Me too. Wash, Machine Polish (had been clayed recently), Klasse All-In-One, and topped it off with a nice Best in Show carnuba. Last weekend I cleaned an painted the calipers, applied new decals, and topped with clear coat. And a few days ago I cleaned, spot re-colored, and conditioned the leather surfaces. Baby looks pretty good for 13 years old [emoji41]

Time for some michelin pilot sports.

Disaster 07-10-2016 02:07 AM

Added rear speakers
 
Some description pics in DIY section. '98 with rear storage bag. Bought hard rear storage unit and speaker bracket and wiring kit (Euro Motorspeed.). PITA was tab that retained bag but interfered with hard shelf. Had to remove it which required some prying apart and drilling out rivets.
