What a concept!

Kudos to you for sharing what I find to be fascinating, detailed information in the performance arena...information to which many of us would not be otherwise exposed, and especially in a manner that we can understand it. Your explanations and the trouble that you go to so as to share your photographs and experience with us is very much appreciated.

I must say that your discipline in sticking with your initially stated goal, while keeping an eye out for what "Porsche" branded solutions may be unavoidable is fantastic! Your creative solutions as well as your experienced approach is most REFRESHING!

The fact that you unselfishly share all of this with us is an invaluable contribution, and I commend you for it.

Keep it coming!

Regards, Maurice.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Big thanks!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'll have more updates to post as soon as I have some time to sit in front of the computer.

Been making some good progress lately. The wheels came in so I was able to mount some NT01's on them and make the car a roller (temporarily) to verify tire/wheel fitment with the quarter panels and suspension. I need to add some 8mm spacers on the rear so I can lower the back end of the car to a more appropriate ride height, but otherwise everything fits great so the next step is to start painting stuff.

Here is a teaser pic of the car on the ground for the first time in almost a year, and the Racepak dash that I mounted in place of the stock gauge pod.

I love that green you use. I saw it on another of your boxster builds. Looks great.
