Up for sale is my 1999 porsche boxster. As I am a porshce enthusiast and I have always been into high end cars, I hope this car goes to someone that will truly treasure it. This Porsche has ultra low miles and still looks new! The paint is probably the best you are ever going to see for a 1999 model. Less than 15K miles! This beautiful color combination of Ocean Blue metallic with optional Savannah Beige interior with Porsche Tequipement Maplewood trim is VERY RARE. Obviously this car is regularly cleaned and detailed. Was actually just detailed yesterday Clay Bar, machine polished, etc..etc.. Car is clean and absolutely stunning condition. The paint on this car shines like when it was new.

So to start out, without all the modifications this cars book value is around $27,000. This car is a true wolf in sheeps clothing so it looks nice, is a real mans car and most importantly, doesn't scream "look at me!"

Let's start with the modifications, please note all services were done either by porsche or TPC (www.tpcracing.us) in maryland which is the most well known tuner when having to deal with Forced Induction Porsches.

Factory installed options:

1) Power seat package 2)Traction Control 3)Sport Package

Exterior mods:

1) Front spoiler from the 911, this is an original oem part. Fits perfectly just like Porsche designed it to. ($1500)

2) Wheels are from ROOCK RACING, nice light and high strength wheels ($1600.) Custom made porsche center caps. ($300) New Kumho Ecsta SPT Tires 225/40-18 Front 265/35-18 Rear (less than 500 miles on them. $600) This is my favorite tire as the wet weather performance is on par with those ULTRA expensive Michelins yes the rider is More comfortable. Also, as I do all things the way should be done on a porsche, the tires were mounted and high speed balanced on a HUNTER GSP9700.($100) Also the alignment is the European sport spec setting.

3) Included with this car is the Hardtop which just gives this boxster an even more unique look. ($4000)

4) This car has PIAA headlight bulbs and foglight bulbs you get that unique HID look not seen before.($150) Email me and I'll get your some night pictures.

5) Custom painted brake disc calipers ($500)

Interior:

1) Custom Audio setup- stealth look. utilizing 4 3.5" JL audio speakers mode TR-350-CX behind your head, and 1 Door sub, sounds amazing, the 2 ADS amps are mounted in the front trunk, standard CD head unit is used (again for the stealth look) ($3000)

2) Birds automotive leather glove box with optional cupholder. ($550)

3) Front and Rear Laser radar detector with stealth installation, "F" and "R" indicators are intergrated within the dash ($400)

4) Program upgrade for On board computer diagnostics, center consol displays outside temperature and if you install a togggle switch it will give you other sorts of useful information as well. ($50)

5) storage organizer in front trunk compartment ($50? $100? I forgot)

6) Cd storage in center console

7) Windstop Deflector

8) White faced instrument cluster ($250)

PERFORMANCE MODIFICATIONS!

1) engine was custom bored to 3.0L, Balanced, Bluprinted. Race-quality cast iron sleeves with custom forged pistions for supercharging.

2) Turbo Performance center fuel supplement computer

3) TPC supercharged, Twin -rotor positive displacement type, 4.5PSI w/ compressor bypass valve

4)Torque-Bias limited SLip differential

5) Short Throw shifter

6) Heavy Duty clutch ( strongest streetable clutch there is)

7) High flow DANSK mufler with twin sport tips

8)100-cell metal matrix high flow catalytic converters

9)Super sport coil springs lower car by 25MM

10) GT-3 adjustable rear toe links

11)Custom thicker sway bars (I forgot how much thicker)

12) European "sport" spec alignment

13) Front Brembo brakes mono-block 4 poston calipers with 320MM cross-drilled vented discs.

14) Rear Brembo mono-block 4-piston calipers with 295MM cross-drillved vented discs.

15) car is corner balalnced.

16) After fule computer was piggy backed onto the OEM computer, engine was custom tuned on the dyno for 3 hours.


Obviously , this car has lots of horsepower, but not only that, it has lots of torque as well. OH THE TORQUE! This car has gobs of it! Trust me this thing is fast, it's faster than my NSX! Not only does it go fast, it handles like no other, what other boxster out there do you know that has corner balancing, or even the euro sport spec suspension alignment? There is a reason why the new cayman handles better than the 911 right? This just shows how the mid-engine setup truly has it's advantages.

I won't bother listing the prices of all the modifications seperately, but an estimated $40,000 was spent on parts and installation at Turbo Performance Center alone.

This car was definetly treated right, if something were to brake or wear out, it was replaced immediately! even little things such as radio buttons or a light bulb. This car was always treated like royalty. Here are a bunch of pictures. I hope you enjoy and bid accordingly. Car new was around 55K and probably another 55K was spent on it since purchased. Here is a chance to get a deal of a lifetime!

** The wheels that are currently on the car are the 10 spoke Roock racing rims.
who built the engine?????????
