Painted Seats

PO thought it was a good idea to paint the Boxster red seats black! :eek: Looked terrible. Brought them back to Boxster red using leathermagic. Looks about 1000% better!

Wow, great work! It looks new.

I figured out how to get a stripped (head) caliper bolt out using a triple square wrench, then replaced rotors and pads.

After it was back together, took it out to bed the pads. Had to stop for the sunset:

Got my '03 Boxster base 2 weeks ago. Monday-Tuesday car was in shop getting LN IMS retrofit, RMS, clutch, pressure plate and flywheel, and of course, oil and filter. I think a clutch should last more than 41,000 miles, but it was down to the rivets in a few places.

Today, I did some easy stuff, air filter, cabin filter, drive belt.

Wow looks great! Wasn't that nice of the previous owner to protect that red leather for you. Looks new.

What did you do with/to your Boxster today?
 
Got a new key cut and programmed by the dealer today. I supplied the key, and they only charged me $85, despite being quoted $160 over the phone. Sometimes even the dealer is reasonable...

Can you PM me the info on where you bought your key? I checked with the dealership yesterday, and they quoted me ~$525 US, depending on my VIN, which they say may affect the final price. I'd like to try and do better than that. Thanks.

I had a racing stripe and Porsche lettering added. The metallic silver matches great with my Lapis blue metallic paint, and is a dead-on match for the wheel color. I think it's a great touch.

PCA Zone 1 Concours
 
My very first Concours. Entered FUNTOY in the People's Choice category.

Unfortunately the Concours had to move to a parking garage because of rain.

Learned a lot, saw some fantastic cars and talked to a bunch of really interesting Porsche owners.

Did go home with a second place award!

Congrats, Anker! Good job. Yes, the rain didn't help us, but we still enjoyed ourselves at the Zone 1 Concours. Here are a few more pics of the event.
