Dan888 Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Upgraded the interior cabin lights to LED, which is really easy to do and makes a huge difference. Door puddle lights Footwell lights Glove box light Main dome light (up by the rear view mirror) Cleaned the rubber door seals and treated them with product to protect and keep them supple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedyGee Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Not done any car stuff for a good while mainly because she's been behaving well and being rewarded with topless runs out in the fantastic weather of late. I do need to look into a slight knock from the front at some point and also give her good interior clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedyGee Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Could well be, it did seem quite floppy when I had it off for the water pipe changes when I first purchased the car, however, having never worked on a Boxster prior to that I had no clue if that was normal or not.

And.rs1800 Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Decided to fit my new exhaust today-got the old one off easily enough(previous owner had fitted bolts in place of the studs on the cat flanges) the new one was supplied with the wrong bolts,so need to get some tomorrow-and I think it will need a bit of persuasion with a big hammer to stop it rubbing on the body. good news is the broken spring the mot tester said I had isn’t broken at all-just the paint flaked off ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pipes that bolt to the cat flanges are hard up against the body !! Tried to tickle them up with a hammer to no avail.what a piece of shyate!!

Chris D Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) The missus was moaning about the lack of noise since I put the OEM maninfolds on. So, today I put the stainless headers back on. This time, hpwever, with 90 degree mini cat extenders for the 02 sensor (post cat). Hoping it keeps the CEL at bay. Otherwise, map time.
