What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Cut it in half.

Pulled her out of hibernation today. Replaced a disintegrating belt and the ignition switch then took her around town. She starts up so much quieter now!

Went with my wife's cousin for a spirited drive in the Box (he left his Cayman in hibernation) for a spirited drive in southern Maine - Eliot, Ogunquit and Kittery for lunch. Drove up little (692 ft.) Mt. Agamenticus for a stunning view of the Presidentials to the North/Northwest, and Casco Bay and the Atlantic to the east. Cool!



As always, the Box never fails to impress!

I’m playing around with engine swap ideas. The front half of the car is stripped out bare and is going to the scrap yard. The back half will make a good mock-up to sort some things out without having to disturb any of the ‘good’ Boxsters. For the moment I have a VW 2.8L V6 that is far from an upgrade, but makes similar power to the 97-99 2.5s. I don’t expect to complete the swap, but work through the process as an education.

If I get anywhere interesting I'll start posting. For now, I'm working my way up to 25 posts on the Passat Forum so I can sell off the VW parts in their classifieds:

I've toyed with the idea of the 2.7T in a boxster. I say start a thread because I'd love to see it
