New tires, and while the wheels were off I added a set of the Rennline competition studs and nuts! View attachment 273763

I have been thinking of doing that, especially now that I have track wheels and everyday set.

Got my car back last week, had the LM Engineering PDK Cooler and Pan installed, new pads , new rotors, brake fluid change, oil change, and new axle shafts,they even delivered it to my house, I am fortunate only being about 1.5 hours from LM in Momence Illinois, now ready for some HPDE events

Went for a socially distant drive to Inverness, north of San Francisco.

 

[Racer1735]

I had a checklist of things to do:

Replaced the amber side marker lights with clear.
Replaced the gasket under the hood emblem (it was torn).
Replaced the driver's side front rear fender liner.

Now I need the weather to cooperate so that I can wash and polish it!

Maybe not direct-connect fantastic, like an S2000 or my little Mazdarati, but SO much better than the luxurious-but-rubber shifting of the otherwise German masterpiece.

Will be driving console-less for a few days while I wait for a fresh and pristine console to arrive from another inmate on rennlist. (wiring harness plugged in to avoid computer complaints)

I've addressed almost every tiny little flaw in this 987 Boxster. Last thing is paint correction. Really really enjoying the labor. It's a great car to work on.

Went to Laguna Seca yesterday with Hooked on Driving. Amazing experience! They try and pair you with a coach who has a similar car, my coach had over 30yrs experience and I learned a lot from him! It’s a lead/follow model, he had a 06 S, and spoke to me throughout over a Bluetooth headset he added to my helmet.

One car in B group crashed into the barrier and track was closed for over 30min. The driver was safe. An older BMW did a 360 by turn 2 and the coach and I had to avoid it, scary but taught me a lot of situational awareness.

The last session ended up going around the track solo and didn’t get lapped by the Spyder or GT3 RS so felt good!

If you don’t have the 3rd radiator or oil injector for the IMS, be careful with that motor... just saying..

 

[stonekutter]

Not too worried, 2007 has a stronger IMS. LN deep oil sump if needed later on.

The stronger bearing has nothing to do with it. It eventually lacks lubrication.

Not going to lose sleep over it.
Plan to do my best to mitigate, otherwise drive and enjoy it! As long as I walk away safely on the track (should anything happen) that’s what’s important.

One of my friends painted my PDK shifter red.

 

[idrivemyself]

I picked up a set of these. (The seats, not the QC inspector. )

Funny thing.. I was looking at mine last night and thinking about doing the exact same thing. What sort of paint did they use? I assume they filled and wiped?

 

[Kboustani]

Testor red paint and yes filled and wiped.looks much better

What a nice little touch. Years back I did my shifter and the + - on the steering wheel shift paddles with guards red to match the car. 🍻

To celebrate my little car’s 10th birthday I had it professionally paint corrected and ceramic coated. Holy cow, it’s the best the car’s ever looked! Check out mama’s reflection. 😊
