What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Install was pretty darn easy -- the challenging parts were

1) getting the grill covers to fit in the box properly, required a bit more force than I'd have thought - one side fit perfectly, the other not quite.

2) fishing the wires through to the frunk.

It took me about 2 hours one night to install the speakers in the box, and about 3 hours the next day to install the box in the car & pull the wires.

As far as engine access, there's only one clip on the side of the box that needs to be removed to get to the engine, won't add more than a minute to the time it takes to remove the box.

Changed gear oil on my '01S at 46k miles. Lots of sparkly stardust in my drain pan. IMO Porsche's 60k interval is not sufficient. There is no magnet in the plug so all this metallic debris is circulating and accelerating wear. I checked Pelican - no magnetic drain plug. Does anyone make one?

Yes Pelican has magnetic drain plugs, I just got mine 1 week ago from them.

Today I flushed my Brake Fluid to prep for a track day. Its my first time.

Details on this thread with a movie to show how easy it is and under 5min per corner.

Today I reconditioned the headlights on my 2000 Base Boxster. I used the Mothers powerball kit (with the sanding pads) and they came out great. I then washed and dried her.

Just starting her fall prep today. I took each wheel off and cleaned it inside and out and cleaned my newly painted calipers with paper towels and Qtips before replacing the wheels and torquing the lug bolts. My wife thinks I'm nuts. Tomorrow it's a full bath followed by 303 treatment on the roof and the first coat of wax.
