5/13/2023 – Saturday – Boxster 101 8:00 am – 12:00 pm, held at Chris McChesney’s house.
Is working on your Boxster a mystery? This is basic Boxster maintenance and will be simple things you can do to your car that DOESN’T require being hooked up to a computer. Being able to do these things yourself can save you HUNDREDS of dollars at the repair shop. Air filters, accessory belt, brakes, headlights and spark plugs, what’s the least expensive way to do an oil change? All these are specific to a 987.2 Boxster but there is enough design carryover so owners of older years will be able to get the point.
Boxster owners only please!! This event will be capped at 10 people and you MUST arrive driving your Boxster.
