btw, get the latest coolant cap if this wasn't already done. And don't flush the coolant without replacing the coolant tank, they get brittle with age and the flush job could split it open within a few months.

It is screwed into the dash.  I'm going to remove it, and see what kind of damage is under there.

Thanks for the advice, I hadn't thought of that.

Wow, mega clean find! the blue on blue is a particularly beautiful look on the Boxster. It still is, even on the 2014 models.
Congrats!

The washers threw me off, did not know they fitted those to the halogen lights. De ambered regardless. Saw a nice box on the road yesterday blue with blue top, I bet it's a great combo on the 981 as well.

I took her out for a good long drive today. And the car developed a little bit of a whine. I think it might be the water pump. In she goes on Monday to have a look.

Nice touch for a Canadian car, a maple leaf on the floor mat.

Thanks for the coolant cap tip!! a friend and I put in a water pump this weekend, and after we were done, the car seemed to be losing fluid, but I couldn't find a leak. Put on a new cap, and everything seems fine now.
