What did you do with/to your Boxster today? - Page 6 - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Pulled the transmission and IMSB. I know now with 100% certainty that I have a single row engine. IMS Solution goes in tomorrow.

Took it out for its first drive of 2018....100 km to warm up the gearbox oil before I changed it! Its a gorgeous day and above freezing. The highways were dry. That Porsche stuff is $$$ but it seems less notchy already based on the short test drive. I also changed the little rubber dam in front of the front tire.

Watched the new owner drive away in Scarlett, my MY99 Boxster. Sold within 21 hours after posting on Craigslist.

The new owner is a private aircraft owner with experience working on horizontally opposed engines. Hopefully, he can get the engine back up to spec and enjoy the hell out of it like I have during the last five years.

Enjoying the Cayman, but the Boxster is much more fun to drive.

Just sayin'...................

Today was cleanup day. This month I dropped money on a set of Michelin Pilot Sports N4's to replace the Hankooks, did a wheel alignment (7 parameters out) and rear brakes for a very wet DE weekend a week ago. It got very dirty that weekend! Today was my first chance to clean it up, including a wash, glass cleaning, dash wipe down, wheel cleaning and treatment of the convertible top. Also added fuel stabilizer and a tank of premium ethanol free gas. In a day or two I will put my new cover on it and try to keep it clean by avoiding dubious weather for the fall. I hate washing cars under 50°F.

I know the feeling. We are supposed to get another 5-8" of snow tomorrow, following two 6-8" snowfalls in the 2 weeks. I'm ready for Spring!
Good news is I can usually get the Boxster out by April 1st.

Filter was clean as a whistle. It's the simple things in life that bring the greatest joy.

The radiators weren't as bad as I thought they might be. There was more debris sandwiched between the slabs.

TeamOxford · 03-06-2018, 07:59 PM

Arrived in Dallas after a 1100 mile trip driving my new purchase home.

Details to follow in the Cayman thread.

Just sayin'...........

Took it for a quick drive. Rolled it into the big barn for the winter nap. Only put 2200 some miles on this year, normally I do about 5k. No blues on the mall,no car shows, no musical fountain, no festivals, it was a lost summer. I did buy a new boat so that took up a lot of my free time, but I miss taking the boxster to some event. Hopefully next summer we can put this bs behind us

tonycarreon · 09-07-2012, 05:32 PM

took a 60-mile trip to nowhere through the hills around here

dbear61 · 09-07-2012, 08:39 PM

Had my daughter contort herself to remove the set screws on the ignition switch so I could replace it. Had her contort again to tighten the screws.

Took it out in the rain to have dinner with a buddy who hadn't seen it yet, took him for a spin. He's now talking getting one in a few years.

Drove down Sunset Blvd at night with my wife on our Anniversary! Top and windows down of course!

tony_fury · 09-07-2012, 10:18 PM

Drove down PCH, had a Vette rev up his motor to race..
Just ignored him and let him take off, I then just listen to my motor exhaust shifting through the gears.. Popped the top up and jumped on the 405 and opened it up a bit on the return trip..
Dropped the top upon off ramp exit and took the back way home..
Parked in the garage and tried the comb the knots out of my hair..

Saturday, vacuumed and cleaned the interior and installed a fire extinguisher with a metal bracket attached to the passenger seat.

Sunday replaced front brake pads and rotors, followed by a "test drive"

Monday - day spent on family responsiblity

Tuesday (today) picked up helmet and numbers for DE in August. All the running around in the Boxster, top down if just me, top up with my wife to get Gelato and take her to the library (recovering from eye surgery).

I finally let it have a day off. I haven't driven my BMW at all since I bought the Boxster...
