No kidding. If a sticker adds 10hp to a civic, it's at least 15hp to a boxster

I'm biased but I think this is it: Robo-Top, One-Touch Convertible Top Module for 996 Cabriolets and 986 Boxsters, Convertible top module for Boxster and 911 Carrera | Wix.com

Really? Eighty bucks so you can put your top down without holding the button? As far as best bang for the buck, I don't think this makes the cut. Just my opinion.

Where in the world did you get a short shifter kit for $56?! The only ones I can find for the Boxster are $250+

The problem is that you can't stop it if something gets caught. The metal tunnel gets twisted and you may never get it right again. But hay, go ahead if you think it is so great to put it on automatic and listen for the crunch.

Hmmm, this short shifter is something I might consider. How much do you guys think a shop will charge me for the install? Which one did you guys order from Ebay?

That guy ordered from Topspeed. I have no experience with tinkering with the stick shift but I figure it shouldn't be so hard to DIY.

I think u should buy one of what everybody suggested. Just kidding. One of the first things I bought was the IMS guardian to give some warning of IMS failure.
Are you confused yet? What is most important to u?

I still think that Sumflow has the best mod...although the mod will end up costing more than the car.
