PPI - 3rd times a charm - almost

[particlewave]

My base has been more car than I wanted or needed for my 5+ years of ownership, but I'm not a 20 year old speed freak, either.

If you do the tune-up, pads and rotors yourself, you could easily bring the car up to par for under $1k. The most expensive thing will be the tires. Depending on brand and current sales, tires will run between $125-$350 each. I recently did pads, plugs and tires and my bill was around $700 (did everything myself except mount/balance tires).

My need for speed is low , good handling road hugging is higher on list .

But I'm an old guy , what do I know ? If I buy this one I'd probably have the Indy do the work . I just searched some tiers on rack site not sure if I should go all seasons or max summer. I will be driving in winter - NY. It gets cold here all season make more sense - Continental DWS seemed good on my Miata - yeah I had a go cart .

Big range in rotor prices ?

The "S" is good on speed if you like to go in a straight line or pass a slower car on the highway one second faster. The standard Boxster 2.5 or 2.7L will keep up with an "S," and most 911's, on any mountain road or twisty highway. My '99 986 is a Tip and I took it to Sears Point to open night drags once and lost in the semi finals by less than a second so they're not exactly snails. I've owned my base Tip for 6 years and haven't wanted any more power except up the hill to turn 7 at Laguna Seca and everyone wants more power there.
