I wouldn't even try to work on my Boxster without a set of ramps, 4 jackstands, and my air operated 12 bottle jack. You've gotta get the car quite high to comfortably work under their

Probably everyone with an older Boxster should check/have checked their motor mount. Mine only had 75,000 miles on it and it was shredded! A good time to do the water pump and the serpentine belt, too.
What jackstands are you using? What is the height with which you find it is most efficient working under the car? What are your backups while you're under there?

Thank you.
