Finally got around to applying the roof protectant (Techquipment) last night, since it's been sitting in the garage for the past few weeks after I scrubbed the canvas clean. :eek: At least I can take it out, now. :D

Washed and waxed (so it would rain - and it did - for all of 2 mins). Cleaned and add protectant to the top. Changed the oil, still need to cut the filter open and send in sample to Blackstone. Second time putting in DT40. Not sure what the analysis will show as I didn't flush the system from Mobile 1 before putting in DT40 for the first time last time. Had my indy read the cam deviation since I don't know when they were last serviced, left bank at 2.2 and right at 0 - so seems ok for now.

I swapped out a wonky rad fan ballast resistor and front bumper corner trims & mud-flaps.
It feels great to DIY, not to mention the money you don't spend on labour.
The car is still filthy from my road trip to Indianapolis 2 weekends ago. Meh, I'll wash it later.

Installed the new spoiler, had to realign the trunk lid just just a hair, but other than that it was a perfect fit.:cheers:

I saw these when I first got my Boxster , your is the first picture I have seen of one installed. I was not sure if I would like it or not.......I do

Did you order it in your color or have it painted ?

Ordered it already painted, I figured they couldn't screw up black paint!

Please do- I have all black interior also: curious to see how that turns out.

Today I have mostly installed cruise control and obc 😃

Small items
 

Bill let me work on his Boxster today
Replaced the front orange side marker lenses
With gray ones. Big difference in the looks
Dept. in a good way.

Also installed the screens on the top drain trays.
Bill and I try to keep the car looking as nice as we
Can for a daily driver. we have had the car since
March 2014. Saw something out of the corner of
My eye when checking to make sure the side marker lamps
Worked.i saw this large oak leaf peaking out from under
The seat. Where did that come. So cleaned the
Leather and rugs really well

Installed the GT3 brake ducts.

Took Fastest Time of the Day at the Shenandoah PCA autocross !!! Go Boxsters!

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1407711883.jpg

Finally installed my oil pressure and oil temp gauges.

Also fixed a broken convertible top speedo cable.

Hoping I can monitor oil temps on track and determine if an external oil cooler is necessary.

Mike

AWESOME !!!!!!

FTD is definitely something to brag about. All cars, all classes........fastest time.

Congrats!

AOS replacement, and Throttle Body Service. What a tight squeeze. Feels and sounds better though.

I was tired of hearing my wheel centers rattle (stock 17" twisties with colored emblem wheel centers) every time I hit a bump at low speed, so I pulled them, wiped the wheel and back of wheel center with isopropyl alcohol then ran a thin bead of Loctite 5900 flange sealant. No more rattling.

Used 5900 because I had some left over from a recent sump cover removal, it's gray, and sets up quickly. Time will tell how it will hold up to heat and vibration...

$40 and a semi-burning-plastic-smelling girlfriends oven later...

Very Nice epapp!

pulled the front bumper to clean the rads, while there routed the front pull cable to a point where I could reach it from under the front bumper

Changed the radio ... got to get used to it.
Tomorrow I should receive new speakers so it'll be the next thing to go in :)

Finally finished installing the rear speakers (factory speakers with shelf from another forum member) on my 2001 Boxster S. Harness from Becker, white roll-bar clip from a local BMW dealer. Definitely improved the sound of the CDR220 in my Boxster!

Today, just the same ole same ole. Long top down drive on the local country twisting roads. :dance:

Ended up taking my wife to work with me instead of taking her for a drive haha

LN IMS replacement ,rear main seal,new tranny filter, tubes and plugs and a Mantis under pulley.
Hardtop at the paint shop color changed from Silver to Black

Installed new dash speakers (sounds better).
Cleaned my old convertible top (plastic window) so I can try to sell it.

Passed inspection
 

My 11.5k mile 2002 Boxster with rebuilt engine passed inspection today.
Tomorrow I go get tags.

Not sure if I sell this or moth ball it for my daughter who starts high school tomorrow.

Lots of goodies in engine.
Nikisil, imsr, billet chain tensioner,
Low temp thermo, all
Wear items new.

Arguably better than rolling off factory line.

100+ mile spirited back road drive with 5 other P-cars. FUN FUN FUN
Cayman R, 996 Turbo, 991 S and 2 911 RS. What a blast!

Looks great Mike!

Those are some sticky tires

roflmao......:)

Came back home from a 3000 km trip through Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Lots of nice roads in the Alps 😎😎😃😃

I think I final got rid of pesky code P1128, I tried cleaning mass air flow sensor, took off throttle body and cleaned it, only to have the code stay away for a short time, every time I checked my throttle body to intake manifold book clamps, one seemed to loosen, changed the clamps, on the drivers side, cleared the code again, so far after 2 days of driving still good. keeping fingers crossed.

Got up as usual to visit the gym, tried to start the beast, no-go. Spent $800 getting fuel pump and filter replaced. Next thing: need to replace the door latch mechanism to clear alarm faults. The cost of cool I guess.

Changed the oil and filter. Added the LN spin-on adapter. The filter and magnetic plug were both clean:cool: I will send a sample to Blackstone. I also got rid of the last of my amber, replacing the amber bulbs on the side lights.

Finally, I removed my Euro plate. Seems some police officers don't have anything better to do. My wife and I were pulled over last week for having the plate. That was the only reason for pulling me over. He said that it is a fictitious plate, gave me a warning for "no plate" saying that was better than the fictitious plate citation since that can even include jail time! Give me a break. He said the plate looked good but I needed to put the "real" plate on, even though my Euro plate had my "real" numbers, the Texas emblem and looked just like the "real" plate. Now I am back to no plate:eek: Driving around, you can quickly lose track when counting the number of cars without front plates around here. Oh well.....

:D Got it!

Those porsche lights in the door are SUPER cool. Good job.......

Yeah, I love them;)

Installed the replacement frunk release actuator (thanks itsnotanova!). When reinstalling the right headlight after rerouting the emergency release, the frunk lid fell on my head. :( That smarts.

How did you do that ?
