wheels to the paint shop
 

I send my wheels to the paint shop!http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1392262983.jpg

Time to paint the calipers!

I finally installed a 6x40W 996 amplifier to power my rear speakers. I have only had the amp sitting in my garage for the last 4 years. Now on to the next project!

^ And I agree those calipers need to be red!

Started to do my interior swap. My garage is packed so I do all the work under a canopy in my car port. I'm lucky it isn't that cold out here but still tough to do it during winter!

Next is the dash and hydrographics on the center console and door/dash trim.

^^^I like the swap, the black looks great!

brake job
 

installed new ceramic brake pads and new cross drilled and slotted rotors. just finished and I'm looking forward to trying it all out tomorrow. The stock rotors were worn below the acceptable thickness. I didn't see any broken wires on the brake wear sensors but they were a little rough. I guess I'll also find out tomorrow if I need to replace the sensors too. I check my brakes every time I change the oil so if the wear sensors are compromised I thought I read on here that all I have to do is short the wires out to keep the wear light from coming on?

Got her moved into her new home...2 car garage with lots more room :D
It's still a mess, but getting there. I ordered some Porsche garage paraphernalia to decorate with ;)

Haven't driven the Box in >2 weeks, just drove it to the gym yesterday...gotta love the way it drives, just the purest feeling you can get with a car.

Cleaned a bunch of gunk out of my radiators, and swapped out my winter rims for my summer ones. Had to do a minor repair on the wiring for my air horn, I did not originally use heat shrink tubing. Plus, a quick once over for a road trip this week.

Installed a Pioneer HU and replaced the dash speakers. Great upgrade!

Brought it out of winter storage, installed Litronics that I picked up off ebay, and drove it to the dealership to set up an oil change/inspection.

Huh? :confused:

Cat back straight pipes

100 spirited miles on some of the most beautiful, windy roads through the redwoods of northern California

I installed led license plate lights and desnorkeled the box. Plus I got a car fresher :D

No restrictions for that on your side of the valley? How does it sound?

First drive after new left radiator and heater core. No leaks!

Porsche car day for us (yeah), took the 986 out for a ten miles ride only - before it fails!

- 10 miles away car from leaving home, car break down
- Flat tire (fak)
- No spare (spare tire delete, IDIOT, fak x10)
- Call my mate (live right next to us), he can't find my spare tire anywhere
- Hire a cab, ride back home to pick up a friggin "tire"
- Porsche alone, no owner, on the hazard light somewhere in Shanghai

nastyyyy, all of ity

Do NOT delete spare tire again

Fred,
I hope everything turned out ok for both you & the car after sitting unprotected.

I spent the day getting new rubber & an alignment. Drove w/ the top down in 50 F weather to Mom's house and got promptly scolded about getting getting a cold. http://www.986forum.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif

Oh well, that what convertibles are for. http://www.986forum.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

made a 1:1 scale template using CAD, letters 25mm apart.

Drove 20 miles from work to home with the top down. I live one mile from work.

Changed the oil at 3k miles, filter was spotless... then I drove it!

Called my storage company and let them know that I will be there at 11am on 3/29 to pick it up!!

Drove to work in it, had the OBC stalk delivered to work so now waiting on the loom wires & then get fitting this weekend & arrange trip to 9Meister in Warrington to enable OBC ;)

Took some time off from projector retrofits and spent the day at the park with my lady ;)

out for a drive and back for a wash

Got my baby back today from SS Motorsports. Freshly painted calipers, wheels and new spoiler. :dance:

Continued the interior color change by dying the seats black. Also I got some of the dash pieces back from my hydrographic guy. Can't wait to finally put my dash on.

Love it :cheers:

Optimistically ordered the insurance back on for Wednesday (despite predictions of below freezing) figuring it has to warm up sometime. Started work on a dock bench in the garage, facing the Boxster while I worked. Put a smile on my face.

Installed 987 shifter, replaced the CD storage with a cubby, and installed an iPod cable.

looks nice, but what happens when the battery dies? open the Frunk from inside the fender?

I added "porsche" to the back of my car, added small porsche logos on the side of the car and had to find the problem to why my break light didn't work. Turned out great from my opinion :).

Installed new door speakers - awesome difference!

Replaced rear trunk shocks. Back of my head is good for another 50k miles!
