On that note, anyone interested in some BBS SR's ?

Love the wheels. Can you share the specs?

Sure!

Looks like someone was at the Chemical Guys Store!

I'd never bucket a car wash again, that TORQ foam cannon is amazing :D

Got her summer shoes on today! Ready for some spirited motoring!

I figure a few more stickers will do it fine. LOL

I am really considering dropping on the louvers. That should complete the Meth look I'm going for. :D

Local PCA chapter mystery tour. 4 hour back road drive with 30 couples and various P-Cars old and new. We didn't know where we were going until after

This morning I.....finished reading this entire thread. About 3 weeks of reading a little bit every day. The main thing I took from this thread? JBauer has the best looking wheels that I've seen on a Box. Porsche Turbo 1 wheels I believe. I want them, but almost $8k for a set?! You could buy a base Box for that and have a whole a$$ car!

Installed my repaired CLU. And for the 1st time saw my interior lights on, have the windows roll down, doors lock and the alarm work. Luxury............I'm pretty happy about it.

And then my kid asked me to park the car outside so she could do something in the garage...........And it's raining hard here in the Pacific Northwest. Oh well............

225 and 255 RE-71 Stones ordered on close out at Tire Rack, head’s up! $611 w/ tax. First fresh rubber for Little P, woot woot.

Nice find!

New paint and installed Lseat covers (PIA!) Still shrinking the leather; steam and heat gun. I'll let them sit in the sun tomorrow.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1622501400.jpg

Added 15mm wheel spacers to my fronts to match my rears. Let me looks good.

Swapped my old headlight assemblies that have the ubiquitous burned lenses with some used units that are in way better shape.

Now I have a set available to try some fancy-schmancy LED upgrades or something.

Drug home another stray. Non-runner. 2000 Base. 5-speed. Bairritz White. Metropol Blue top and interior. Immobilizer got wet and has been sitting in the guys driveway for the past year. The Oklahoma rains of the past few weeks added to the wetness.

Unloaded it and started drying it out with the wet vac. Making a parts list. Dug through my project car parts shelf. Dyno wheels powdercoat Guards Red that I've had sitting for about 5 years waiting for a white car. Had a new set of Continental Extreme Contact Sports mounted earlier in the week. Clear headlights, clear corner markers, 550 SE taillights will show up tomorrow with the UPS truck.

Spent yesterday scrubbing and cleaning. Most of the (easy) electric stuff works; lights, turn signals, top, dash lights, HVAC panel, radio. Windows came down then stuck at 2/3 up when raising the top. I imagine its a bad microswitch in the latch assembly.

I'll get the immobilizer sent off to ECU Doctors and see what they say.

I needed another summer project. I now have one. I've been wanting a white/blue car for about 5 years.

A big Thank You (I think :D) to Jon (78F350) for alerting me to the car, and for him and Woody for already helping with the advice and knowledge.

More to follow as it comes to life. (Think a Martini Racing livery) :dance:

Don't get me wrong Rick, but I would have been all over that car if I wasn't already out of space and in way over my head with other projects.

:eek: What'd you do? Buy an entire police departments surplus cop bikes?

I sold a Boxster and just bought one bike. ...then realized that you can fit about four bikes in the space of one car ...and somehow there's suddenly six bikes here that can all use some maintenance.

Don't let it happen to you. Stay focused. That's going to be a cool car when you get it sorted. :cheers:

I believe 78F350 picked up a used, working immobilizer and all the bits recently. Maybe he could part with it now that he's got all those bikes to work on?

Just wonderin'.........

The very first thing Jon offered was to send a loaner my way. :cheers:

After the car got wet, the PO of the car purchased a new immobilizer. He stated he installed it and the car started briefly, followed by electrical smoke, then the car shut down. At that point he pulled the immobilizer so it wouldn't get wet again until he could figure it all out.

Then COVID hit and he lost his job, so the car has been sitting since with the immobilizer safely tucked away. I have it sitting on my dining room table (one of the many perks of being a bachelor :D) now.

I'm going to go ahead and send it to ECU Docs. They'll bench check it for $95. If it checks good, then I can mark it off my list. If it's bad, they can repair it. It'll be peace of mind to have them check it over before I dig too deep on something only to find out later the immobilizer is bad.
