What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Could someone tell me the capacity is? I'm curious how much was actually in there.



The good news is that the oil and filter came out clean and free of debris. :dance: Last oil change I got a scare with some shavings, but I guess that was a result of the time my (soon-to-be-EX) wife did DE.

I changed mine a couple of months ago, almost 3 lts.

Old original speakers were worn out and decaying.



Replacement speakers. I went with the FaitalPRO 3" full-range woofers from Parts Express. They fit perfectly in the factory plastic except for 1 speaker tab needing to be removed on the outermost speaker on each side. They sound way better (how could they not) than the factory ones.

I did the dash speaker replacement years ago.

Since I was doing a brake flush yesterday I decided to clean up the back side of my wheels. Who knew they had such a light color to them.

In 2 weeks it's oil & filter change, spark plugs and tubes.

Yeah they don't seem to put much paint on the inside of the Porsche wheels. I have 2 different sets and they're all like that!

Have a guy working over my CLU. He suggests mine is too far gone to repair. So I guess I'm looking for an M535. I posted in WTB/FS9 Section. But let me know if you got one! Obviously don't want a water damaged one.

I spoke with my wheel guy about this when I had my Carrera Light wheels refurbed. He said that the inner barrels of all silver painted Porsche wheels of our generation are finished with a high strength catalyst coating which is light gray in color. The exterior finish color(s) (arctic silver and seal gray in my case) is (are) never applied to inner wheel barrels from the factory. In fact, he mentioned that Porsche concours judges will dock points if the inner wheel barrels do not have the factory gray coating.

Had the front brakes done. Discovered she was leaking oil, cleaned the engine bay and will drive a bit to determine source.

And I cleaned a lug bolt. Amazing how much corrosion and crap came off - I'm sure they've never been cleaned in 22 years. 19 to go!

I work from home under normal circumstances. I have found over the years that little projects like cleaning or polishing things provide a nice mental mini-break when I'm stressed.

Yesterday I replaced the trailing arms and now the rattle over bumps is gone. Today I replaced the brake pads, and the screech is gone, and replaced the rear bottom panel with a new one, and the tie-wrap shortcuts are gone. A couple of minor tweaks and the car is in better shape than it ever was since we purchased it. Took the wife out for a top-down test drive and it felt fantastic!

Ordered my touch up paint and Zaino products this morning. I used Zaino on my 2005 Mustang GT that was a similar color and it always looked amazing so I'm going that route again this time. Plus, Zaino is pretty easy to work with, which has become more important as my back and neck get worse; that was a key factor as well.

Plan is to work panel by panel. Clean it up, touch it up, seal it up. By the time I'm done touching up the last panel it should be time to start sealing each panel.

Installed by Cobra Suzuka seats, changed the oil, and aired down the tires to get ready for the road.

Ok man, it's clear that you are truly talented with the wrapping process. For those of us who want to learn, can you give us some pointers or good videos to start with?
