Modded Boxster - New to the Club

[Perfectlap]

FURIUS you need my side skirts! Precisionporsche.com took a long time to send them to me but the fit and finish is excellent. I was able to test fit them without using the hardware. $430 delivered for the new style GT3 MK2 (most boxsters have GT3 Mk1) is a darn good price. Too bad it took a month to make.

here are some marginal pics I took last night...just got my newly-painted kinesis k58's on the rears last night (10" with 285 pilots sports...not a lot of room left in there, but no rubbing noticeable); also pics of my favorite mod to date: the techart billet aluminum shift knob which I found used for $150, techart-style alum pedals which I got from brandywineporche for $170, and you can see the other painted insets in the interior. Look closely in the pic of the pedals and you'll see the knog, nicely integrated and hidden away for the front and rear laser / radar detectors the previous owner had installed; and lastly, the nice 'false floor' in the front trunk that was made with nice hard acrylic ccovers for the sony amps for the stereo. The stereo heaad is a removeable blaupunkt unit with a blaupunkt 5 disc changer underneath it (for a total of 6) with new speakers all around and big woofers under the seats which end up sounding really good.

techart billet aluminum shift knob...feels great in your hand...cold in the morning which makes you aware that all other metal is cold (so don't go too hard on that throttle right out of the gate) then sort of warms up organically as you drive...

sorry for the multiple posts...can't seem to figure out how to post multiple pics per post

nicely done by the previous owner, contained under a 'false floor' and thick plexiglass

nice...I have pedal envy.

make sure to wax dem wheels! I had polished out lips on my autocross wheels and it was a bit of work to keep them from staining. I use NXT and Klasse All In One weekly.

Check out these mats with piping, a nice compliment to your expensive pedals.

I have a 3 spoke with airbag I would be willing to sell for $600.

fuhrius, love the new wheels. i'm not much of a fan for black wheels but it does look sweet on your car, i must admit. you mentioned the techart engine kit has improved the sound, which exhaust do you have on the car? i'd love to hear it and compare it to my b&b triflo exhaust. anybody have any ideas the best way to generate an mp3 of these sounds?

alshig, thanks for the offer. i'll think about it. i would do it in a second if your 3-spoke wheel had aluminum inserts so that i could paint them white.

the engine kit is the 'version 3' of the techart kits (the most mod'ed)...all the parts are techart branded, though I'm not sure if they're all made my techart. for instance, I know the 'techart' springs on the car are actually made by eibach.

the kit includes exhaust, pre-cat delete, headers, ecu, expanded throttle body, and air filter.

the whole kit was $7k installed (done by the previous owner of my car). it does sound great...and feels good too. ;-)

fhurius I'd like to know more about your subwoofer, as I said I'm busy upgrading my stereo, by installing a big subwoofer is not really an easy job, sill lokking for inspiraton!

How much additional HP did the $7,000 upgrade reap?
