I mean, Porsche isn't the only engine manufacturer; there are other cheap, reliable, plentiful engines out there.

I'm at $9850 (car/parts/engine/paint/top/tires/suspension).

It'd be MUCH cheaper and easier to do a K24 swap. I kinda wanna get either another Box or a Cayman and run that one till the engine goes pop and swap a Honda engine in it. Shoot with that honda engine you could put oil in it then weld the lid shut ROTFLMAO.


EDIT: if you wanna "stay in the family" The audi 4 banger works well and is quite powerful. But its not cheap either IMPO.
