Well, yesterday..
Scored Fastest Time of the Day at an SCCA autocross! That's 2-for-2 in my last two events. It's shaping up to be a great season.

Nice job j.fro!

Funny while watching your video I noticed the gloves you are wearing, love those gloves, cheap and work great.

Door Courtesy Lights / DRL's / Ghost Lights / Footwell Lights

I've done a few projects over the last few weeks, and finally had a chance to take some pictures...

I added some DRL lights in the front, I fixed the missing door courtesy lights, and added some ghost lights to the doors as well (the Red Sox logo - which will be complemented quite nicely once I get my new etched, LED lighted wind screen), and added some Footwell lights (wireded to the dome light)... The info on this site was extremely helpful for the DRL and Footwell Lights...

Looks great!

Just out of curiosity, how did you end up attaching those ghost lights to the inside of the door since I presume yours is carpeted alsoSome kind of velcro or a clip?

Can you also tell me where you got the DRL's from please? Thanks.

Replied to your PM, but for others wanting to know the Ghost Lights I have attache thru a 1 inch hole I drilled in the bottom of each door and then are wired to the courtesy lights.

Those and the DRL's I purchased off EBay (though I am not 100% happy with the DRL's and may change out after I let them settle in for a bit more)....

Perfect top down day today. A couple of chores first, installed my new Bosche wiper blades and zip-tied the mesh rollbar inserts...then off for a drive.

Picked it up and drove it

New Porsche Boxster owner and new member. Picked my car up from the shop yesterday after purchasing it a week or so ago. Needed some work based on the ppi. Mainly brakes (pads and rotors) and ignition coils. I also chose "some" elective preventative maintenance procedures (I.e. clutch, imsb, rms, aos). Drove it home in a rainstorm but still had a blast. Top down driving today what a great car! 03 boxster s black on black 76k miles. I am still not sure about the decals on the sides but will keep them for a while and decide later. They have grown on me quite a bit since I first saw the car. Shop said they can remove them very easily if I change my mind.

I like it Myoung73! Sounds like you removed half the fun which is working on it! You have the critical items addressed... IMSB ! Did the shop give you the old bearing? If so how did it look. Enjoy the ride!
