What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Couple of days late,

Changed the oil, finally, after discovering the existing drain plug was stripped. Thank you to whoever mentioned using a dremel and a chisel. Cleaned the MAF sensor. First time getting to the top of the motor so that was educational. Also discovered that cylinders 1-3 had fairly loose coil pack plugs. Hoping that was the cause of the cyl 2 misfire.

Getting to know the car better is fun.

Oh, I messed up the buff job on the hood, yay me. So I'll try doing it by hand and see if I can get the horrible swirl marks out. Never have I done such a poor job, not sure what I did wrong this time, but disappointed it happened to the Boxster vs the Subaru lol!

Fixed the annoying "tick" sound today that plagues these cars and the 996's.

There was a hairline crack in the weld of the header where it is joined to the manifold, both sides at the first tube. You could see a slight black sooty line where it was leaking.

Removed headers, grinded out and welded it back up. Flat and square, good for another 20 years.

Nice and quiet like it should be.

It's the little things, really. lol
