Electrical Anyone?

Hey guys, love the site. As the new owner of a '01 Boxster (black) I was very excited when the hauler pulled up to my door today. I fell in love with Porsche products instantly....
However soon after parking the battery was dead and the car would not start. Lucky for me this happened in front of a NAPA auto parts store. Long story short the new battery is now dead and when I do jump it the instrument panel is lifeless and the windows become posessed. Even after all this, I still love this car.

P.s. after I get this fixed could you guys send me some cool (easy) things to do to gain a lil more HP... Thanks

Scott - Regarding increased HP, I would recommend that you search this site first. Nearly every mod you can think of has been discussed. However, you're generally going to find that there are no "easy" solutions. You're definately going to find that there are no "cheap" solutions.

I hate to say it - but if you want more horsepower - sell it and buy an "S".
