Sparco Pro 2000 racing seats when the Boxster was a street/track car. The Pro 2000 model has a fairly deep seating position and it was difficult to get in/out (you had to lift your butt up and over the seat side).

A shallower racing seat like the Evo might have been a better choice - but the Pro 2000 is perfect for a track car so I am glad that I didn't have to buy racing seats again when I built out the race car.

Had to think about this question a long time. After 11 years &91,K miles the only regret was buying a 996 CarreraII wheel & tire package from a dealer,instead of the proper Boxster version. 996 pkg came with 18"X10" rear wheel & 285/30/18 tires. The dealer sent bolt-on spacers for the rear. I went with the bigger tires in anticipation of enlarging my engine. This was great for driving straight but bad for turning into a curve. Always think twice before circumventing Porsche engineering for which we pay so dearly!
