After few weekends of fun DIY projects on my 981 boxster (frunk carpet replecment, brake job, drive belt replacement, new side bilnkers, set of new spark plugs and coils, all filters replaced) it seems that there is not much left I can do on my car and feel kind of board looking for some kind of project to modify, improve or service my car. Next thing I could think of is to play with the exhaust system but based on what I read here, if you want to have something proper, you have to spend around 1.5-2k, which I don't want to spend. Any Ideas would be highly appreciated! thanks

I clean my radiator intakes every 2 or 3 years.. You'd be amazed at how much trash gets lodged in there.. I have not done this on my Cayman yet, but one of the first things I did when I got my car in December was to put on some Zunnsport grilles..

(This is from my 997, but pretty sure the 981 would be similar..) https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...intenance.html

At your level of DIY, this would be an easy project for you..

Other than that, did you inspect all your axles and CV joints? Made sure they are all intact and no tears or leaks?

I also saw a youtube video of someone removing the bumper from a 991, which should be very similar..

String alignments at the track have been done forever and are a great way to learn the suspension of your Porsche.

Very nice, I actually need that! Will look closer into that. Thank you!

This is one of the jobs I might pass on. Even though it looks simple, I think it is not my type of a job. I leave this to my Indy. Thank you though for the idea, maybe others can benefit from it.

You could get wind buffet deflectors if you like driving with the windows down

I'm waiting for someone to be the first. It's the only option my Spyder lacks that I really miss.

Are these metal grates not standard equipment on a 981 Spyder?
