Hi,

Everything that denverpete says and add to it the fact that as of '00 the Cars switched to the eGas engine (greater displacement, different Intake, Exhaust, Fuel system, and specs) and engine management. This essentially means different everything. Trying to upgrade a non-eGas to eGas spec is going to be extremely difficult to impossible once you factor in the $$...

Happy Motoring!... Jim '99

"First off, there is a general and growing concensus that Porsches that do not get driven are a risky proposition. I know that sounds strange, but these vehicles like to get driven."

This is exactly why, if you look at the Kelley Blue Book values for Porsches, the resale value of the car ACTUALLY GOES UP, the more miles you put on it.
Heck, I'd much rather have a '99 Box with 100,000 miles on it, wouldn't you? Preferably one that had been DE'd every other weekend, so that it had been "used as it was intended to be used."
