What small mods made the biggest improvement?
 

1...Bluetooth stereo. Your entire library right there, wireless.

2...Velcro stick down pads under floor mats. Pads welded in place. Great fix.

3...Rattle patrol. Not a sound. Silent.

Yous?

Rennline pedal set so I could heel and toe like a pro.

iPad install in place of upper dash

1. New headunit with bluetooth streaming, now I can enjoy modern connectivity in my old Boxster that some very new cars don't even have.

2. HID Retrofit, dramatically improved the look and night time driving performance, this mod is not very small, but still small compared to many others.

Polaris auto top $15 in parts

If I had that I could reset my CELs in real-time!

Looks fantastic. Must be great for navi use.

Secondary cat delete

I'm sure my couplings are leaking. Great mod, great sound.

The UD pulley actually gave me HP I could feel.

1. Modified steering wheel.... great feel & looks.
2. '03 top.... glass window.
3. FD Motorsport exhaust... great sound.

Number 1.....

2nd on the steering wheel, for all the same reasons.

For those of us not in Apple's orbit ---- anyone put an Android tablet in the dash?

+1 on the auto top

I had it done by www.carsdream.com in Poland. Here is a thread I started on Rennlist when I had it done with photos comparing the old one and the new one. It cost me about $225 back in April 2011.

These guys here for steering wheel mods:

225$ sounds a lot better than 750$

Super cool ! Good job.

The factory steering wheel is simply way too thin. That and the super-long throw shifter. So for me it's either a padded steering wheel or 9x7 shift console upgrade.

I haven't done much to my Boxster (yet), mostly the usual maintenance items, but the 2 best things so far:

Appearance - get rid of burnt halogen headlights with orange markers and replace with brand new Litronics with clear markers

Driving - replace the worn out front engine mount

Gray side marker lenses and stealth lamps.:dance:

As noted by a previous poster - 04 top with glass window, defroster and headliner - vastly improves visibility and makes the car feel like it has higher build quality.

9x7 short shifter (as opposed to the regular 9x7 shifter) and Nine8Six's xenon projector retrofit.

6mm larger pistons makes a huge difference! I got your girl car right here! :cool:

That's just a drop-in mod, correct? They just fit right in the old hole?

They actually bolt to the top of the existing pistons.

replaced tail lights, installed the all red 2004 550

Sprint Booster!

No you have to make a small adjustment, just 6mm to be exact.

How much did that nine8six HID retrofit set you back?

^ Norm should have spent little less than $380 for his retrofit ($355 for the kit, some RTV silicon sealant and a can of high temp black paint). Not cheap but mind you, those will last twice longer than the car itself. Precision machined and anodized! Those are not the common plastic/chrome coated shrouds you find everywhere for $40... i.e. they won't peal off & flake or discolor after 12~24 months ;)

I'll jump in and join Norm RE the CGT style HID kit being the best mod done to my Boxster. Not as nice looking as Norm's, with his 911 flavor style/idea, but at least I'm convinced they are as functional as his.
