I haven't been tracking labor because it's not a customer's project, but we are talking hundreds of hours. As far as cash, it's just a bit more that a Boxster Spec car, but a lot cheaper than a used Cup Car.

I seriously doubt Excellence would be interested in a car that doesn't have a Porsche engine. It's my understanding that a lot of people were peeved off when they did the story about the Subie powered 914. Maybe I'm wrong though. I haven't had anybody mention anything about wanting to do any articles, but that could be because it's not finished yet...

What's a turn-key all bells and whistles Boxster Spec going for?

Excellence would definitely be interested as long as the donor car wasn't an IMS victim. :dance:
bad P.R. for the factory...

What has been happening with the build? I haven't seen anything written or pictures posted in a while.

Any news?

Wow, what a car...

I hope you do not mind me asking what is probably a stupid question?

I am going to install some wider rear arches on my Boxster racing car and to do this I will have to cut the outer and inner arches - as I will assume you had to do on this car?

Could you please give some details on how you attached the inner arch to the outer one again after having cut it, and possibly some pictures?

Did you just fold the outer up to the inner and weld them back together?

So we took the car to UMS Tuning to take care of the tuning. Tony worked his magic and the car made 416whp at 17.75lbs of boost. Considering the application of the car (road racing) we pulled a bit timing just to play it safe and ended up at 396whp and 354 ft/lb. Should be plenty of power for a 2400lb car.
