North Texas Boxster Enthusiasts Meet for 1st Time!

[Homeboy981]

North Texas Boxster Enthusiasts in DFW get together!

It started with two guys in a garage talking about how best to improve their Porsche Boxsters.

We got together to spin a few wrenches and tell a couple tales of our drives. When, all of a sudden something magical happened, we got an idea that there were more people like this in the Dallas/FtWorth metroplex and beyond, that may benefit from getting together and sharing ideas. Our group started with KennyBoxster (Kenny) & Homeboy981 (Mark)

Here are some pics from the last "meeting" of the North texas Boxster Enthusiasts:


Here is Kenny after we got BOTH cars ready to be 'serviced'


Mark is giving 'thumbs up' after installing a Stage 1 Cold Air Intake


BOTH cars back to back when the work began


Kenny's Throttle Body assembly and other parts lying around - they don't do anyone any good unless they are installed on the car!


Kenny's before engine cleaning shot


Kenny's after TB cleaning


Kenny is giving his approval AFTER he SEES IMPROVEMENT in ACCELERATION


Our first meeting was about how to properly clean a Throttle Body. Since Mark drives down country roads to buy homes, and Kenny has not yet cleaned his. this was the perfect opportunity for our club to be born.

Here in DFW we have a range of "wrench twirling abilities", Kenny has done his clutch. We both replaced out engine mounts, installed Short Shift Kits together, put on Cat Deletes…and then realized there would be others interested in this too. We already range in age from 18 to 50 something. Our repair experience varies as well. So don't think you need knowledge…just the Pcar and we'll supply the rest!

After this meeting we got the idea that, with a bunch of active members, we could get discounts on aftermarket goodies for our members and show them how to properly install it on the vehicle.

Thanks for watching….see the REAL THING THIS WEEKEND!!

From the last meeting we decided to "expand the fan base" and have a little get together with more folks. There is NO COST. We will be doing repairs and you are free to watch AND IF YOU KNOW THE PROCEDURE…feel free to lend advice. On top of that we will have BBQ grilled hamburgers and "award-winning" french fries!

So if you are in DFW on Saturday, November 10th, 2012, be here for our get together.

There is NOT COST TO BE A MEMBER. Just sign up at http://986forum.com and go to Social Groups. We are easy to find, we are the largest Social Group on the Forum! PM me IF you need further assistance.

Stay safe out there!

Hi @bebeto986,

You ARE the REASON we posted this meet here! If you are willing to come up from Houston, it is about a 4 hour drive…in a minvan.

We are located north of Dallas about an hour on a ranch. You are more than welcome to come. Would love to have you and your Pcar in the pictures!

Will post them here on Monday. So even if you miss it, you can still participate!

Thanks for the interest!

Nice! Now you just need to get it out of the yard and into the Box club! I'm the one that usually does the "off roading" in this forum (I go down dirt roads, cause that's where some of the homes are). It still hurts to take it 'down the road'…but that's how I get gas money!

You may be able to help some junior members tune their ride…like me!

We have room for ALL skill levels, and anyone who can stuff a mechanic in the frunk is welcome! Got that idea from @Heiko

See Ya there!

[Heiko]

You mean my 911 Grease monkey that lives in the Targa... LOL
I tell ya though... it be tough to do on a boxster... there aint enough room in the trunk... and the feet wouldnt reach the pavement...
and now he's complaining about hair loss because the lid keeps falling on his head... LOL

[Homeboy981]

[QUOTE=Heiko;312588]... now he's complaining about hair loss because the lid keeps falling on his head... LOL

That's a good one. I need to remember that. Forget hereditary hair loss….it's from flying metal! They need to put a Warning label on the underside!

[Heiko]

I guess i had my head in there too many times when the engine was running, my 911 ate my hair (hair loss excuse #57)...
This one needs a big yellow sticker that says "Dont hide in the trunk in case engine is missing"
LMAO Oh boy t'was a long day today

[bebeto986]

put me on that same list heiko I'm another lost case, I mean hair lol and homeboy, I will do that will be my first long trip Im pretty sure more pcars are showing up

[Homeboy981]

@bebeto986, you are on the list!

See Ya Soon!

Top Speed has a great facility for us. Tons of open space and plenty of room!

We have also negotiated a REALLY SPECIAL PRICE on:

***Short Shift Kits***

Top Speed has agreed to a price is SO LOW we CANNOT ADVERTISE IT!! But when you see the it, you WILL BE IMPRESSED! Available ONLY to NTBE members!!!! We worked hard to get you the BEST PRICE….so, it's GOOD to be a member now, huh?

Top Speed Pro-1 has committed to reserve plenty of space for us to meet AND reserved precious high-quality GOODIES for our members! We GOT YOU REALLY GREAT DEALS!!! Lower than you WILL FIND ANYWHERE, period! So don't hesitate to get your Christmas Gifts NOW!

About the MEETING:
We will of course marvel at the mods our members have done to their Boxsters, you should see some of 'em! It may give you an idea or two, or three!

We will be doing FREE Brake flushes - B.Y.O.F. (Bring Your Own Brake Fluid), make sure it is DOT4, and arresting noisy suspension components too. Whew! It is going to be fun and busy! Our members have volunteered 2 Motive Power Bleeders, so no waiting! AND those pesky "squeaks" will be a thing of the past - with a tried and true remedy, a shot of WD-40.
HINT: It takes knowing the "right place" to shoot the WD - so if your car's suspension sounds like and old door - NOW is the time to renew it! We will even provide the WD-40! All you have to do is show up! Yeah NTBE!

While we are taking care of repairs, you may have the opportunity to meet the nice folks at Top Speed! So come say, "Hi" to John and George - let them KNOW you are with North Texas Boxster Enthusiasts and tell them, "Thanks for having us!" See what other deals they can scare up for ya! Please respect their property by not doing burn outs and leaving trash!

There is NO COST. You CAN HELP TOO, or feel free to watch AND IF YOU KNOW THE PROCEDURE…lend advice or a hand.
