Makes it a little complicated, to do much mechanical work.
I'm in the UK. At least in Spain you have drier and warmer weather.

True lol. I lived in the UK for 3 years in the 90’s, mis the beer.

I might give it a go, is it worth doing if i have not changed exhaust? Motor still stock, the guy i bought it from was a no mod at all and not a driver, put 3k on the car in 3 years.

Love the car but needs a bit more umph. So thinking fvd muffler, ipd plenum throttle body upgrade, and a lighter flywheel when its time to change the clutch give it a bit more boogie.

Here's a couple of build style posts for my 2 Boxsters. If value and cash is on your agenda I would probably skip the FVD and if your exhaust is ok get it modded by Carnewal. Return postage in Europe is cheap enough. Skip the IPD as well and use the £35 996 plenum. For a bit more go change out the manifolds and consider going to 100 or 200 cell cats. My first blue Boxster has Dyno plots at each stage of mods.
