Hi all,

New to the forum and new to Boxsters. My last Porsche was an '86 911 Carrera which I owned from 2000 through about a month ago. I put about 45,000 miles on it in that time, of which over 6,000 were on various tracks (Mid Ohio, VIR, and all three circuits at Summit Point).

My "new" Porsche is a 2000 Boxster S. It has 92,000 miles total, but only 25,000 on a new engine. PPI found only one problem -- rear wheel bearings are worn, which I understand is common on Boxsters.

I'm still getting used to the smoothness and refinement of this new one. For now it is a street only car, but I may do AutoX or some DEs with it at some point.

Here's a pic: 2000 Boxster S

A question. What's the official name of my car's color? Is it arena or orient red?

I realize this isn't meant to be a discussion area, so I'm going to post a question on tires and shocks/struts in the Perf/Tech forum... any advice is appreciated.
