Most stuff was done when I got it, so far in my first year it's been:
Drove the car home from Bay Area at 67,xxxmi Water Pump at 69,xxxmi Oil Change at 70,xxxmi Tires at 75,xxxmi Passenger rear Control Arm, and Wheel Bearing at 76,xxxmi To Do list: Tire Rods scheduled for this week end, current mileage 77,xxxmi I'll be reinstalling headers and getting ECU reflashed since I did the emissions inspection in July. Need to get rear twists repainted after Jackwagons at Sears scratched them. I did purchase a new spoiler from a forum member, waiting for a little warmer weather before painting and install. |
I got my 2001 S in Apr 2012 w/46k
Tires had good tread but found sidewall cracks, so a new set of tires was first thing before a day at the track. I also picked up an extra set of wheels for winter tires. K&N air filter cabin filter changed oil in engine and gearbox serp belt new coolant cap Brake pads Front & rear Cayman style rear spoiler replace 1 missing roll bar mess fuel filter brake light switch water pump w/165 thermastat motor mount K&W short shifter Alum pedal set plugs & tubes IMS Guardian battery maintainer - in use now future plans fuel cap Under drive pulley clear side markers |
I bought my 2001 Boxter S in May 2012, with 55k Miles on it.
I have been autocrossing 2x this year so far so did maintenance to accomodate the racing. I did all the work myself, except tires Here is what I spent on it: New Hankook Tires al around: $650 Pressure brake bleeder: $55 New Front Brake pads: $220 Flush Brake fluid: $20 Reconnect separated Winshield washer spray hose and add clamp: $1 New touch screen does everything double DIN Stereo: $230 Turtle Black Box wax kit: $25 Racing Jack: 175 Oil and filter: $80 About $425 of that is regular type maintenance and the rest is upgrades and support equipment. It would cost less if your not autocrossing as it eats up tires and brakes faster. |

mine is a 2000S with 68,k miles bought from second owner- now has 74k miles, just returned from a trip to NYC from SC with my son to visit a couple grad schools :) longest trip with a 986 so far oh, and bought a hard top while passing thru D.C. on my way :dance: Got my 986 10 months ago and within the first few weeks replaced the O/A sep, did the ignition upgrade, oil change, replaced the O2 sensor on right, and other than that just enjoing the car- P.O. had already done tires, brakes, CV boots and other O2's within 2k miles of my purchase- now, on my short list however is new headers and cats- when i replaced the upstream O2 on right side the threads were stripped and rusted out bad, i had to re-thread it. it holds but i will have to replace these soon, so i am looking hard at the Maxspeed set up. (SS, 200cell sport cats etc) |
Purchased a 2003 Boxster base model back in April 2012 with a blown engine. Car had 52K miles, brand new clutch installed by Porsche dealership, new convertible top linkages, and new tires. Previous owner was done with the car and wasn't going to put another penny into it. Bought it for a decent price and I was willing to take on a project. The engine probably split a cylinder wall since the left exhaust manifold was full of coolant when I removed the exhaust to remove the engine. I haven't taken the time to disassemble and investigate yet. Just holding onto the engine for spare parts for now. Anyways, this is what I've done so far:
1) Installed a used engine with 30K, new water pump, LN IMS upgrade, IMS 160 thermostat, new rear crank seal, new spark plugs, new oil/air separator, KN drop in air filter, new expansion tank, and all new fluids. 2) Turn signal switch was broke, so I went ahead and installed new switch with cruise control and OBC controls. Recoded with Durametric and both functions now work. 3) Kids want to ride too! Installed SRS bar under passenger side seat and had dealership recode. 4) Radio was basic with dash speakers only. Installed Kenwood DNX9990HD double din unit (nav/bluetooth/etc.), JL amplifier, JL audio speakers in dash and doors now (I can actually hear the radio with top down now!). Bought a used BOSE subwoofer box and removed the Chinese BOSE speakers and installed JL 5.25's. 5) Sloppy shifter. Installed short shift kit-great improvement. 6) Poor night time illumination-Installed Chinese HID retrofit kits and jumped foglamp relay. No more problems seeing in the dark anymore, but annoying battery and oil pressure light comes on. Will be fixed in phase II though! Phase II: Just bought a 2002 996 C4S with a blown engine! Gonna remove front fenders, bumpers, Xenon headlamps, and update the look on my Boxster. With the install of the factory Litronics now, I can get rid of the dash warning lights! Also will be removing heated seats for the chilling morning Spring mornings with the top down. If you ask why I don't fix the 996, I want a convertible and I've sold the car for the same amount I paid for it and an agreement that I give him the old Boxster seats and body parts in exchange. The new owner just want to strip the 996 and track it anyways. So for the money, I won't have much invested into O.E. Litronics, updated front end, and heated seats! |

Bought my 2000 S in October. The project list so far:
Picked up brake fluid and bleeder over the winter, and just bought coolant, water pump, and low temp thermostat - all to be done early this spring. Also will replace the headlights at some point this year. Most of what I've done wasn't necessary, but part of the process of updating a low mileage (26K) 13 year old car. April 2013 update:
November 2013 update: OK, now it's been a year. Have also done:

My car was complete **************** when I got it. Learned my lesson to always get a PPI before purchasing any vehicle. To be fair, I bought it for 8k.
Total costs of maintenance and repairs to get it up to speed: $4000 Total costs of upgrades/enjoyment: ~$2000 |
