What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[Anker]

Replaced the sun visors what had the common broken off door problem with ones that have intact doors. Was pleased to see that they both light up when you open the doors. Need to cleaned.

Much less pleasant was adjusting the clutch pedal return spring. Took the heating duct out that partially blocks the view of the bracket and was able to loosen 2 out of the three bolts, but the last one I simply couldn't get a wrench on, socket or open ended, even though the open ended are thin. Finally resorted to brute force and was able to move the bracket against the resistance of the last bolt. Got all of the play out and then took the car out for a test drive. Cruise control worked perfectly.

Oh, another little thorn in the ointment. Took the cruise control switch out to improve visibility. When I put it in again I managed to open the switch and the spring fell out. Not obvious how to reassemble it again, but fortunately the old switch showed me how. Next time I have to remember to turn on the black part of the switch, not the red.

Then off to Porsches and Coffee in Tiverton RI.

I stalled my 07 for the first time backing it in the garage. It seemed very reluctant to re-start. It seemed almost as it it had gone out of time, working against itself. After a few tries, it started and ran fine.
Have only owned it for a week. Any thoughts from you veteran owners. Thanks.

Nice meeting Anker and his wife at the C&C. Nice turn out today, maybe 30 or so cars. It seems many members took advantage of the mid-60's sunny day to awaken their prized P cars.
