2000 boxster s first car?

Make sure you get one that's Speed Yellow. It's Porsche's fastest color.

Sweet! Where is the best place to find one in the US I hear autotempest is good. Also, could I install the ceramic IMS bearing by myself or with my dad? Will a normal mechanic be able to follow the instructions without screwing it up? Or just take to a porsche dealer. I've heard many people suggest to get a PPS inspection. Do I just call up a porsche dealer in the area and ask them to look it over? Sorry so many questions all at once lol

Actually, Glacier White is the fastest because white is the reflection of all colors.
Everybody knows this

Mr danger how much lower is your car than stock? Is that two inches or so?

This is what I would do.

Start with a Miata, get some sticky tires for the track. Learn how to drive the car, which will be a lot more fun since the limit is much lower. Also the cost to do upgrades is very cheap and you don't need a master mechanic to work on the car.

Then after you've worn out a few sets of tires consider upgrading to the Boxster S, one with the IMS bearing already replaced and with a good record of frequent oil changes (every 7 or 8 months).

Hey Chris, noticed you are in Taichung

I'm in Shanghai and so my little boxster. Think about getting a 2.5 or the 2.7 max. Much cheaper on petrol (more cash for you for Friday KTVs) and really, if I can take up this car to 60kmph around town here, then I can go tell everybody that I've been pro-racing a Porsche Car! I can't imagine you'll need to go faster than me in Taichung

In fact, the scooters seems to go faster than me in a Porsche car here

Haha actually I'll be back in the states before I can get my license. I think I might spring for a dirt cheap metro just to learn stick while I'm saving up......but about the PPI people!
