Why is everyone getting all offended by everything in here?
Icebox -- calm down, have a beer, relax. Not everyone is jealous of this kid. Nor does everyone equate verbose commentaries preaching maturity with maturity itself. And to Jeannot -- French bashing is a part of American culture. And 99% of the time (including our site-owner's comments), it's done in a completely lighthearted fashion. You can't rid the world of sarcasm, so you might as well make a snide comment back and enjoy the friendly banter! So.... back to those cheap HP ideas... anyone want to post some links for this kid? |
If the kid wants wants the most bang for his buck, the way to go would be a nitrous oxide system. There are plenty that can be had for well under 2k, but I'm sure parts and labor could be a lil pricey depending on the whether it is a wet or dry setup.

I don't recall equating my point of view as any apparent sign of maturity. Perhaps that's what you saw in it. Be that as it may, I still haven't seen any HP options from your end, which remains the primary thrust of my observation. I don't believe everyone experiences a streak of envy when a young guy steps into what others take years of effort to achieve, but I'd bet more than a few here do. I think I may have inferred as much so to clarify: I know not everyone is envious, ok? There. That's settled. Now maybe you might offer an Hp option like the guy originally asked :rolleyes: ,<---See? A happy kinda face!

Suggest you lighten up! The comment was made in light hearted jest. Keep in mind that to my mind, car companies who do not sell to the world's most vibrant auto market, ie, the US, are not really world class companies. This is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.
Yes, Nissan does sell here but their products are thoroughly Japanese, no? So, you are free to like or dislike my comments, which only represent my own views, and not the views of mangement etc.! :) Candidly, there has been enough US/Euro bashing on both sides to last many lifetimes.! Lets not add to that fact. :cheers: "You can dislike their cars (and so do I), and you might think that they are not existent because they are not on US roads anymore...but surely, the humorous statement from above is not supported by facts, but by something more down the line of a widely accepted and politically tainted French bashing "fashion", which, as a European I find quite unfortunate, especially when it is coming from the site owner." |
I like the nitrous idea, does anyone have any experience with this set up on a BOX?

Tool pants sent me a picture once of a box with a nitrous bottle in the back.
I couldn't sleep for days ;-) |
Nice, I've never seen it done to a boxster but I don't see why you couldn't. Tool Pants, please do share.

Whoa! After 3pages of posts you appear. So what did you decide to do? Nitrous?
|
You guys are hilarious :cheers:

:eek: .............

I declare this thread officially over!
:) |
I just finished reading 3 pages of post and see how easy it to get people up in arms. Wo I assume that is wo as in yeah a boxster, we may have all taken a different path to get here but all agree on one thing "WO A BOXSTER". I don't know of much that can be done to get more ponies out of these cars without major bucks, as far as tires are concerned I've just replaced the set of Kuhmos that that were installed when I bought the car (about 24000 miles ago) higher milage less stick, I am one of those who don't come close to the cars potential, put kuhmos back on, if you are not going to track the car my bet is they will be fine. Take pride in one of the world's finest autos.

"Take pride in one of the world's finest autos."
Amen, Amen! |
Ges,I am turning 18 and have paid off almost half my boxster(dont worry i paid every penny on it and my insurance). I will not even tamper with the cars mechanics,as I have learned how great the car is by driving around 10 cars before i made up my mind. The only parts i have considered changing are the cheap plastic shift knob to a MOMO Anatomic(adds class,and feels more natural) and updating the lights(a more new look). I dont mean to sound like a grumpy person but everyone is right,you need to learn how to "unleash the beast". Dont just try to use the car for stupid street races with your friends(I am assuming your still in high school),learn the cars full potential(if you havent realized how well the car handles you shouldnt be driving it). Being so young you could learn how to proper shift,and i could use a brushing up on it as well.

Just alittle up date to you all. I have not done anything with my Box. After lot a research on preformace parts for the Box i relized i didn't have the money for the kind of HP i was looking for. Right now the only thing i am looking at for my Box is new tires. The tires still have plenty of tread, but they are the original tires and they are all weather cracked.
