If you are going to do any mods and need advice, let me know....here is a list of what I have done.

-DIY sport exhaust (pedros garage dot com) I think
-de-amber (new light units actually)
-clear side marker lights
-pin 18 hack (top works while moving)
-sticky radio button fix
-new spark plug tubes and o-rings
-clean throttle body
-painted calipers
-flush brakes/clutch
-clean radiators/paint front grills (back to black)
-becker mp3 cabel next on the list!
-orbital polisher (swirl remover) and Zaino

Wow, I've done more than I thought....Most of it was fun!

Nice to know for sure! I am trying to find a mechanic for oil changes etc. I know North Olmstead Porsche is a good dealer in the area......

I do want to do some mods...we will have to connect.

I've had my car 6 months and no one has tried to race me.

to me - the boxster isn't the kind of car that I would expect to draw challenges to race on the street...

EVOs, STis.... those are hte cars I expect to see racing each other...

although, I guess those guys want to race anyone, and they would probably like to say they "beat a Porsche"... I don't give them the satisfaction...

it would be fun, however, to find one of those idiots on a track and then show him your taillights..as he realizes that his "pffft" blow off valve, airplane wing, and giant stickers, don't help much on a track... I would bet that on a tirght track where hp is less crucial than handling, even a base boxster would have no problem hanging iwth or beating a lot of those AWD rice rockets...
