How was Johnny Law on the Tail. I'm trying to hit that on a Tuesday, missing weekend crowds

My first run was on a Tuesday…basically alone. Only time I seen Johnny law was on my last run on Thursday morning. I averaged 28.7 mpg driving between 75-80mph and doing the Tail was about 17…lol.

I dont know how you can have that cupholder on that side and still comfortably reach the gas pedal. Mine is on the passenger side exactly adjacent to where you have yours, its a little bit of a reach but Ive gotten used to it.

No issues at all TypeA. Cupholders don't get in the way. Look where the foot pad is located on mats....

After putting some freshly polished tails on the Box the original 2002 third brake light lens was looking a little cloudy by comparison. Did the same treatment on the third as the new tails; Maguires 300 correction compound, 302 polish and Ultimate wax all applied with a foam ball on a 3/8ths drill. Results are like new, you didnt know a paint correction system could be used on plastics huh?

Washed it for the first time since owning it. Cleaned the leaves from under the spoiler. Removed the stupid clear bra from the mirrors, and some sticky stuff from the bumper. This thing is going to need some time under a polishing wheel, but still looks really good.

EJ-Fresno 07-25-2015 07:58 PM

I replaced today my front wishbones and control arms.
Everything went well until I tried to tighten the last nut on the passenger side (the one connecting the wishbone to the wheel frame), I stripped the star part of it:
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1437882824.jpg
I think it was already a little bit stripped when I bought it (used). So I still have a gap of 1/8, and the place is PITA to access due to the strut being in the way. Can I keep on driving the car like this or this is a safety hazard?
I am going to replace the struts next weekend, maybe I will have better access to fix it then?

Snapped a top cable, tweaked the clamshell. Not digging the manual top or bouncy clamshell. Waiting for parts... :(

Just got home from a week end in Chicago, car ran beautify, I was lucky enough to witness the no hitter at Wrigley on Saturday, Cubs fans are great, I don't think any one left the park, and they cheered on Cole Hamels (Philly's pitcher) for the final out. Chicago is a great city.

The Cocomats look fantastic! Nice addition!:cheers:

Uninstalled the 35w HiDs after a bulb exploded and made a mess.

It happens sometimes. You didn't have HID bulbs in halogen reflectors, did you Bob?

Replaced the lamps in the headlight assemblies. I had a bulb burn-out this morning. It's been four years, almost to the day, that I replaced my headlight assemblies. Where does the time go??

LOL what do you think.

WillH 07-31-2015 01:52 PM

New AC LCD screen. Now I know if the ac is on or not. And it still says Manuell :)

Bent the clamshell back to what it was before the cable break. Looks much better now.

Changed passenger side front trailing arm. So quiet, or it would be if the clamshell wasn't banging around...
Need to do drivers side tomorrow and an alignment next week.

Top cables should be in towards the end of next week:rolleyes:

EJ-Fresno 08-01-2015 05:01 PM

I installed the Sprint Booster.
Really like the difference between stock mode and aggressive mode, it's like two different cars.
Well worth the money if you ask me :)

alm001 08-03-2015 06:54 AM

Installed a dash pocket in the lower console. Now I have somewhere to put my phone, instead of in my lap. I still have a singe din opening, so I made a quick plastic blanking panel.

GT3 bumper painted and installed! Side skirts are also painted but have class in a couple hours, so I'll be saving those for tonight. It's crazy how something as simple as a bumper can totally change the look and stance of a car.

Getting back into the habit of going for drives for fun. Took the car out in almost 100 degree heat to test the new water pump, performed exceptionally!

Not too bad Jonathan. ;)

Cool white in the headlights may look better with the Litronics on, though. Definitely looks nice with the side markers.

Bumper.... CHECK
Side skirts....CHECK

..now back to hunting for a set of 18" turbo II's or maybe even Cayman S wheels and a set of clear/red tail lights!

all_mota, she looks great!
I'm curious, how do the side skirts attach? Adhesive, or do you have to screw into the metal?

TY Rick. Used 3m double sided tape and a screw for the back where the original little mud flap thing bolts to, and a locking plastic screw in front connecting to the inner fender liner where there was an existing hole. I was avoiding having to drill holes in case I someday decide to take off the side skirts.

Thanks, that has been my concern about side skirts. :cheers:

What did you do with/to your Boxster today?
 
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...1d4dfab149.jpg

I am not happy with fog light color, I want pure white to match headlights

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...4321e6143f.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...0b63eb892b.jpg

I also went to the store and bought the rear bulbs for temporary wrap around mod

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...d257c3ae83.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...2294bdc583.jpg

The bulbs I bought are these, to even the rear fog light mod

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...ba009d880f.jpg

I hope you don't say they are all ones (;

You know it's always good to have 4 grand or so, you never know what you want to do the Boxster

This is how I'll look at the drive through ATM with lights off at night

White would look good but I chose to be different

My fogs are 6000k color
Hopefully ultra whites arrive tomorrow.

Deciding to do Carrera GT lighting though, that forum member is beast!!
