Subject: 2001 Salvage Title Gelb Boxster S

Goal: Fastest Lightest Boxster S

* HPDE not Race...needs to be technically street legal

Items Accomplished:

1. Gutted, stripped...Top is in great shape...plus motors & trans for sale cheap

2. Bodywork Fixed...no frame damage

3. Items to be installed
a. KSPort Racing coilove with camber plates
b. New Rotors and Pads...DCT70s/60s
c. FG roof with Lexan...Texas Performance Concepts
d. Corbeau Seats
e. Momo Steering Wheel
f. Studs and lugs replacement
g. X51 oil Pan 0.5 extension kit
h. Manzo Exhaust and Headers ***
i. Swaybars and upgraded endlinks
j. Windshield...thought about lexan but decided stock
k. Wheels and tires...O.Z. with R888

4. We are open to suggestions...any ideas would be welcome...

***yes we want to go cheap on the exhaust...Manzo looks fine for our application but we need to know how not to throw a code (Texas)...is their anyway to use a code eliminator to pass emissions...we are willing to weld in a cat if necessary?

We considered 17" wheels to help with the long gearing in the S...but the difference was negligible

We are doing a software also...any problems associated with new software?
