Mine is a 99 Pre-Egas Boxster. So like Pecivil said, it has to be a 99 Pre-Egas 996 3.4L Engine. As for impressions from my first drive? Words cannot describe it. I rolled out of my mechanics shop today to give it a test run. The new clutch engages much faster. Guess I needed a new one anyway. Just took it easy until I got on the freeway as at low speed drives the same. The car sounds great. Hit 175 KPH or 110 MPH with little effort and got there very fast. I was blown away. I was then rolling in first gear and then put the pedal down and the rear wheels started to spin. I eased off the gas and went whoa!! Better give her some respect or she will own me. Kicks in at 3500 RPM and then around 5800 RPM another kick (VarioCam) right through to 7200 RPM redline. I wanted to keep driving all night long because it was so much fun, but figure there is always tomorrow. Was it worth it? Hell ya IMHO!!

Here is a pic of my ride and my mods to date are as follows:

1999 Boxster
3.4L 996 Pre-Egas engine (99) - 5 Speed
Evo High Flow Intake
Schnell Boxster S Headers
