You are quite welcome. Unfortunately this is the exact reason I have lost interest in pursuing further modifications/kits for the Boxster. Reality is that spending that much money on a Boxster just does not make much financial sense for most people as they are not/do not hold their value like a 911 and never will.
Even though IMHO the Boxster/Cayman is a much better platform, now that Porsche has started to wise up and offer some engines with a reasonable amount of power in them the V8 swaps make less and less sense. Although there is no replacing that V8 sound, which reminds me I need to take off those stupid mufflers, the car is so much more fun to drive when it is loud as hell
I imagine a 911 swap would be easier, hopefully I can sell the V8 Boxster and get to figuring out the next project soon. Not sure if i'll do another swap or just try and build a fast fun car with a 996TT, or a Cayman set up for 1/2 mile drag racing? Who knows~
