Got it ready to go to Willow Springs raceway this weekend! Nothing more fun than a Boxster on a racetrack.

Drove it to work (25 miles)
Drove it to one of my other offices (14 miles along the coast on a secluded road I might add, on a beautiful sunny California day)
Drove it to lunch (16 miles)
Drove it back to the first office (12 miles)
Drove it to another office (1 mile)
Drove it home (25 miles)
No wonder I have over 232,000 miles on the Jägermobile!!

Finally replaced the pin that connects to the rod that controls the convertible top. What a pain, but I feel better having both rods now and not having to guide one side up or down.

Flushed the brake fluid and changed out the rear pads. Caught it just in time, one pad was worn down to where the wear sensor was just starting to get rubbed on.

Thought I'd be smart and put the incredibly expensive (Porsche, of course!) oil in my trans BEFORE installing and found that it no longer pivots nicely on the spear like thing on the underside now. I'm using just a floorjack to raise it into position and removed the jack pad and sat that spear right in the hole! Worked like a charm pulling it out but need a counterbalancing mechanic's wire arrangement going in. Then I noticed that the release bearing pops out of the arm too easily- the inner sides where the bearing clips into are worn by about 0.01" on each side-oh no!!! I ordered a new one and it'll take about a week to get it! (Porsche, of course!) My Toyota's have a spring-steel clip the size of my thumb on either side of the bearing support and are 100 times stronger and weigh just a few ounces more. 0.010" of wear shouldn't matter and can be the differeince between reliable and not- in a Porsche!!! Marvel of engineering that...

Went for an evening drive and passed a major milestone.
That is about 59,000 miles

I replaced the electric portion of the key switch and the clutch interlock switch. It wasn't too bad.
Our 2000 base Boxster wouldn't fire up when the key was turned. It made no noise at all. I had to try and start the car numerous times before the car would start.
Now it starts every time.

A Lot
Seats are out, cleaned all the carpet. Re-dying the carpet...done now re cleaned the carpet with a PH Neutral weak cleaner mixed with a little fabric softener to make it soft again. Seats are being refinished, filler done and three coats of new OEM matched Dye and awaiting the final coat. My new red "S" came in and I removed the old silver "S" and waxed off 98% of the old one but I can still see a faint outline. Tomorrow I get to put the thing back together....Hopefully
PS also running a 4 conductor cable from the front to the back for a future rear speaker modification.
A very busy 2 days

Adjustable variable wipers the easy way. Wish I had done this years ago. Total cost was around 20$ cdn.

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'...................
