New User Hello

Just saying hello! I'm new to this board and just signed up, looking forward to reading and seeing what is happening. Although I'm a Brit I live near Boston, MA and have a 2003 Boxster S. I haven't done much mechanically but have done my share of hacks including OBC, Cruise, footwell lights, replacing the two stalk with the four stalk (for OBC and Cruise), non-smokers kit, garage door opener. Soon to follwo should be the spoiler switch and a dash switch controlled FM transmitter. I'e also rear mounted my Valentine1 with a custom acrylic bracket and embedded the remote display in my mirror.

Looking forward to reading more!

Chris.

Re: New User Hello

Welcome aboard Chris

Sounds like you must be an expert in trim removal!

Sorry for being dumb, but what's OBC? On Board Computer?

Re: New User Hello

Yes, OBC can be enabled with a PST2 and is very easy to do, it provides the outside temperature display, miles to empty, mpg, speed gong and so on.

Thanks for asking, here are some pictures.

My footwell lights:

I've also been experimenting with making gauge faces:

And I made my own clock

The mirrors are kind of my passion, they're a bit of a labor of love but I'm thrilled with how well they worked out in the end.

Chris.

Re: New User Hello

So far no... it's faster than I would drive for the majority of the time. Unless I find time to go on the track I doubt I'll push it's limits much to be honest.
