What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

cleaned out my Radiators today, so glad i did it! there was so much crap in there and a lot more in between the rad and condenser than i expected.

Also, while i had the bumper off, i removed the lower grills and sprayed them black. The faded grey color they had been from being 20+ years old really needed a refresh.

First decent weather of the year, so took the Box out of hibernation and on the road past Nelson to Kaslo.

After 12 years of ownership, driving it like the good doctor intended, I discovered the rev limiter today. I was passing a logging truck and thought I had time when the power went totally flat. WTF until I noticed the revs were around 7300. Oops.

haha
lovely ride! Looks like mine, when I picked it up 18 years ago in Zuffenhausen. Good memories. I still say, that seal gray and amber is an awesome combination.

Installed the Wolfsburg Tuning spinlocks after plugging in, and securing, the roll bar mesh grills I picked up the other day.

Looking for an inexpensive red, 3-spoke, airbag for a 98 Boxster.

Thank you.

Finished up my winter 2017-2018 maint and took it out for a quick run! In prep for this season:

- Oil and filter change (filter exam and mag drain plug were a-ok)
- Drilled access hole in pan and did the transaxle/gearbox oil change (Porsche unicorn fluid)
- GBox 2nd gear detent (preventive, not having any popout problems)
- Porsche Genuine AOS
- TechnoBrace
- Zimmerman Z rotors and Akebono PC pads
- Had minor crack in rear Carrera Light rim lip repaired and all rims refinished in correct Seal Gray/Artic Silver with clear powder coat
- Replaced BMC oiled air filter with stock Mahl paper filter
- Replaced Borla muffler with Brombacher ‘sound version’ muffler (love it)
- Replaced broken driver side sun visor mirror cover and applied a new airbag blackout decal

Ready for the spring / summer season

I've been in California for a week, drove my friend's 99 base Boxster over to the Petersen Automotive Museum a couple of times. The first time I saw everything, including the current Porsche and Ferrari exhibits. The second time I met up with the legendary THStone and had lunch! I also installed a new shift knob/boot on my friend's Boxtser, even managed to pull the old one off without hitting myself in the head with it. The internet is very sketchy here, I'll post some pictures of the Petersen Museum cars when I get back home. If anyone here is in Southern California or is planning to be, the Petersen Museum has to be on your must-see list!

OldcarGuy; Just curious as to why you went from oiled air filter to dry air filter?
Also, would like to hear your Brombacher some day; I'd like to go that route.

Curious: what hole did you need to drill? I'm waiting for unicorn fluid myself, but I understood there to be a drain plug already in the transaxle?
What'd I miss?
