I plan to use the parts of my damaged car and build a Spec Boxster (BSR).

That's a great looking 996. Glad to see you'll also remain in the 986 family.

Very cool. I lurk on a lot of car forums. The Rennlist 996 forum - 996 Forum - Rennlist Discussion Forums - is a great place with some great car enthusiast and tons of great 996 info.

Great color combo. Truly one of the prettiest 996s I've seen. I think the simple shape without tacked on body parts and jutting bumpers is the best looking. I'm also very partial to Blue

Spent the afternoon replacing the coil packs and spark plugs - what a job! This job was much, much easier on the Boxster. On the Box, it was 2-3 hours, today it took me over 4 hours. The rear-most coil and plug is almost inaccessible on the 996 because of all of the exhaust plumbing in the way. But I got it done and saved a bundle.

Well, to be honest, I tried to make it better but my wife didn't quite get on board with my first suggestion for a track car...
