What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

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

1999, Arena Red, Graphite Grey interior.

The new owner stopped by today and bought the factory hardtop from me. Sweet!

I always liked that color red on the boxster!

I gave my boxster a pat on the kester! I also started cutting that extra set of door speaker boxes to mount the 6.5” not going fast, need a better way to cut the plastic.

On an up note weather appears to be drying up so might get some actual wheel time in.

I've been trying to get busy before it gets too hot to work in the garage during the day, so I took care of some small things that needed doing:

1. Fixed radio speaker grounding issue -- since I'm using the factory amp, I just left the speaker wires loose, and one got smushed up against the back of the radio. Doh! I heat-shrank them and reinstalled.
2. While I was in there, I also swapped the two wires for ignition and constant power -- my radio was reset every time the car was shut off, just a minor annoyance, but fixed now.
3. Wired in the reverse wire under the driver's seat to my radio in preparation for a backup camera. That was the first time I removed the seat, so now I know how to do that. Getting the connector off was tricky if you've never done it before (there's a part that slide over to lock and unlock it).
4. Reset airbag code with Durametric (again). I may need a new seatbelt receptacle, it wasn't due to #3....
5. Fixed the passenger side mirror (plug was just loose)
6. Discovered that my newly-replaced vinyl window leaks in at least two places
7. Drove her all over town (before the rain)
