You may want to consider building a BSX; which is the street/track day version of a Boxster Spec Racer (BSR). Here is a general list and rough pricing;
  • Use the stock roll hoops with a Brey Krause roll bar extender $700 new/$400 used
  • Bilstein PSS9 coilover shocks ($2100)
  • Use the PSS9 springs ($0) or use Swift racing springs (your choice of stiffness; $300)
  • Porsche 996 GT-3 front adjustable sway bar ($350)
  • Tarett rear adjustable sway bar ($300)
  • Tarett adjustable drop links ($500 extended front + $225 rear)
  • Tarett adjustable rear toe control arm ($395; needed to align toe properly on a lowered Boxster)
  • Front 996 GT-3 type adjustable lower control arms ($900 w/ shims)
  • 17" wheels are fine but mount 8.5" rear wheels in front and go 255 width tire in front ($400 for two used 8.5" wheels)
  • Tires (your choice - $800)
  • Top Speed Pro 1 catback exhaust ($300)
  • No supercharger
  • No ECU flash
  • Do whatever you want with cold air intake
  • Racing seat ($700)
  • 6-pt harness ($350; keep stock seatbelt for street driving)
  • Install, align, set ride height, corner balance, and adjust sway bars properly ($TBD)
Adjust this list as best fits your needs. This list is a bit over $6K in parts + whatever labor is needed. Your mileage may vary.

Then hit the track and kick some ass.

Here is a pic of my old BSX;
