What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

I have to replace my expansion tank but also doing a couple fun upgrades with a new flat bottom and thicker steering wheel and a double DIN apple play stereo.

Please tell me about that steering wheel - where to buy, it looks great!

Thanks, if I do it I will go without the flat bottom and go to Chuck W's place in Poland. I always used to think the wheel in my Boxster was fine. Being without it for 8 months and driving a BMW with the M-Sport steering wheel which is super thick has started me thinking about this.

I bought it on ebay... search: T96 Porsche

Also if you go on the company's website they also have a swap program which is "slightly" cheaper where they sell you the original round version of the steering wheel but it is thicker. The down side is they charge you a core and you need to send them your old steering wheel after you removed it to get the core deposit refunded.

I wanted the flat bottom as I find I drive bowl legged and wanted a bit more leg room. Hopefully I will install it tomorrow. It's snowing again here tonight so no test drive.

And, you can get this wheel with colored stitching, so to match your car's color scheme.

Highly recommended!

Those look great. If I do it I will keep a round steering wheel and look into getting one recovered and made thicker with a red or yellow strip at 12 o'clock. I remember Chuck W sent his to a place called CarsDream in Poland.
