400+ mile drive today, sun & rain..

SAXON MANOR WEDDINGS AND SPECIAL EVENTS - BROOKSVILLE, FLORIDA

I spent the last week driving a triple black convertible in the LA beach area,,, too bad it was a rental Mustang. As far as the Boxster, I pushed the snowblower past it when I got home to clear the 4-5" of snow from storms when I was gone.
I am ready for Spring!!

Washed, waxed and took the Box for a spirited drive with the top down, Finally!

It was a great day for it!

I missed out...still working on my headlights :(

I finally got the GT3Tek mounted after its been sitting in the garage painted for almost 3 months... took less than 45min to mount and fits like a glove!
I think I like it :D

Heiko - That looks great! I am getting mine back from the paint shop this week and plan to install it soon. Your pics have pushed it higher on my list!

Man I miss that area. Spent many a year driving highway one. Lived in Santa Maria for years and wonder why I left sometimes!

Of course here in Florida, I had a pleasant drive to work...top down of course

Well, I finally got the Boxster out of hibernation today. It doesn't really feel like Spring yet and there is still snow on the ground, but the roads are clear and I couldn't wait any longer!
I just installed the 'turbo style' side vents and I really like how they mimic the horizontal bar in the AerokitII front bumper openings. When it warms up a little, I will install the GT3Tek rear diffuser I bought a few months ago,,, just got it from the bodyshop today and it looks great.
'Permagrin' is back! :)

So many nice cars here! I just drove around today with a car that is in need of a goooood clean up!!

Heiiko, that piece looks gooooooooood.

Changed left front radiator hoses. Top and bottom. Front and back. You need more than that special spring clip tool (although it is very helpful). It's a bit too big to fit in some of the tighter spots. I found long long handled pliers with an 'L' shaped or curved bite worked when the spring clip remover didn't fit.

Right front already done.

Thanks AndyA6... I am very happy with the way it looks :D

New top from Auto Tops Direct! Love the glass!

Drove it the 50 miles out to Fontana Speedway. 1st time out on the freeway with light traffic since the new intake system & DME remap. WOW the 3.6L likes what I've done, seems to get smoother the more miles I put on it. Beautiful day, put the top down later. Just when I thought this car could not get any funner it has! :)

One day you gonna build one for me :D

Finally installed new clear side marker lights...wow nice, don't know why I waited so long. Also did the DIY leather wrapped armrests.

Showed my Boxster at the California Festival of Speed. Had a great time there.
