Cheers GHostrider,
Your motor looks amazing. Options to enhance the Boxster are very limited over here. Yours looks smashing.
BTW. I am in the USA in December. Arriving into Atlanta and driving down to Florida for three weeks over Christmas. If anyone is about, the beers are on me
Kindest
Bob

Wow wow wow !!!
You lot are incredible.
Just got back from a trip to the coast. Been on the motorway and through country lanes. Gear changes are an absolute delight when you let the revs build up. no more of this driving like an old dear for Bobby Boy. no sir I Will leave that nonsense
to the blue rince brigade.
I LOVE IT....NO REGRETS NOW. 
Talk about perma-grin. I'm still smiling after half an hour back indoors. It's like I've got a coat hanger stuck in my mouth. I keep looking out of the front window at my new favorite thing in the world sitting on my driveway.
It's a completely different experience and car when driven more like it ought to be (I'm not professing to be an expert but oh my goodness, what a difference)
I couldn't have done it without you guys. I am soooo Hapeee!
I will get the suspension checked out next weekend at my friends garage, but for now I couldn't care less. I OWN A PORSCHE !
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I arrive on the 19th DEC and would love to meet up with whoever wants to. just let me know or PM me to exchange mail address.
Oh did I mention how grateful I am to all of you.
Kindest regards
Bob (Boxster Pilot)

I think one of our Florida forum guys should take you for a pre beer ride and show you how its really done so you can emulate the thrills when you get back home.
Plus it will help from your early withdrawals symptoms of being away from your car
while on vacation.
Its amazing how much you can learn from other drivers, different handling techniques, limits of adhesion, tires, and tips on learning your Porsche.

knock
lower control arms (trailing ) are the culprit change both the left and right usually there is no signs of wear in the bushings just the annoying knock over driveway cracks or cobblestone driveways at lower speeds. 207.00 dollars ...pelican parts or i've heard of using the adjustable ones from a 911? I'm in jax. fl. as well dont leave untill dec.22 for the bahama's. We can meet up at brumos porshe if you like. DRIVE THE PISS OUT OF THE CAR!!!!!!! and remember OIL IS CHEAP Change at least7500 miles or sooner

Before I purchased my Boxster...I was at the local dealer asking about the pits of owning a pre-owned model. I spoke with the mechanics in the shot and basically they said the same thing. Get PPI first from a dealer, and if it checks and you buy it, drive it like the wind. That is what it was built for. No regrets here either. Now, the suspension knock is either the rear shock or the bushing in the control arm or the police chap you ran over. Being a Scott, I will have a keg with you.
