Would you still be able to do adjustments with these?

New DIY: Replaced my brake lines with stainless steel. While I had the calipers off to paint them I went ahead and did this upgrade, but split the DIY into two videos.

I finished taking everything apart last night. Only things holding the carriers are the driveshafts and parking brake cables. The carriers propped up with buckets.
Becasue I'm upgrading to Boxster S shocks and springs, I need to upgrade to the compensation ring from 3.5mm to 6mm. Parts are on there way from Germany. So I'm stuck for a week.........should have ordered these before I started!
Any other suggestions on what I should tackle while it's all apart?

Took it out for its first official PNW drive. Didn’t go very far as I’m still working on a brake issue, but it was nice, anyway.

Flushed the brake fluid on my 986. Made another DIY.

Changed oil, oil filter, and topped off with Tier One fuel, stabilizer, storage insurance. Need to air up tires, put on battery tender, loosen top, and cover.

Replaced top and bottom idler pulleys and belt tensioner, and picked up two sets of lobster claws.
Next up: AOS. Parts ordered and awaiting next weekend's garage time.

I’m still working on the model...not sure yet. I don’t like my 5” Android screen rear view mirror. I did at first, now it’s size (the entire mirror) is getting annoying. Thinking about cutting the mirrored glass off and moving the screen. 
I’ll probably end up going the double din route eventually, but I really like this smaller screen and want to try this out.

Took it out for an early morning drive. Found this old covered bridge built in 1897. The lattice wood construction with wood pegs holding most of it together was pretty impressive. Although, I'm not sure I'd want to drive anything larger than a Boxster over it.

Two weeks ago I had a 3 day HPDE at VIR, about a 540 mile drive from home. Of course, a week before the drive I saw that the inner projector lens came unglued from the shroud in the driver side
of my Nine8Six lights. UGH, I didn't want to drive all that way, on the track and back home again with that lens rattling around inside. So I found some very used headlights on Craigslist - 2 halogen with orange turn signals and two litronics, the passenger side with a cracked lens and the driver side with some wiring issues. The Halogen driver side was useable although very cloudy and the inner lens very burned, but I put some bulbs in it and put it in my car and it worked.
Back home from VIR last weekend I started working on my headlght in need of repair. This weekend I got it all back together and everything still works! That really pleased me as there was some soldering involved which is not something I excel at. Tomorrow I should be able to install the outer lens with new Permatex silicone. After a day of curing I will install it and do the final aiming.
Over the winter I am going to make 1 set of spare headlights using the 2 amber units and the reflector bowls from the litronics, which I think I will be able to convert to bi-xenon projectors with some Morimoto minis.
Picture of me at VIR in the Climbing Esses with mis-matched headlights-
Pictures of my handiwork (If these pictures are still upside down I tried 3 times to fix it)-

Nice work  I kept my old set of head lights for this very reason, you just never know and I can always sell them if I ever sell the car, or, most likely, just give them to the new owner.

I exited the Porsche world.
I traded my boxster for something I can use everyday. It was some what depressing.
But I'm thinking when the dust settles in a couple years a 996 or 997 may be next.
