What I have said in past postings if you are a bean counter this engine doesn't make financial sense in regards that the engine cost much more than the car is worth. But that didn't concern me when I started conversations with Jake about this build. I wanted a real sleeper of a Boxster and that's exactly what I have. I can't wait to get this on Road Atlanta and stretch her legs but I have a lot more miles to get on her before that happens.


I have a much much earlier build of a 3.6 M96 engine Jake built for me. It is hard to imagine one any better, but obviously Jake has learned much! Mine was completed in 2009 and hopefully helped get to the differences between then and now. I used it as a daily driver for a few years and the last few just as a toy. I don't regret a dime I spent and have enjoyed it immensely. The power delivery
And throttle response is simply amazing! My intent was to keep the car until I couldn't drive it anymore and I will likely reach that goal haha!

Reading this thread makes Me want to Go through another build doing what Jake is doing now. I have another car that is bone stock now, so who knows?
