98 base with tip to 00 S 6 speed. Still a boxster but a whole new driving experience thanks to a hillbilly in a 4x4 stomper. Nicely done young man.

Rev it up to 4000 and let the clutch out as fast as you can. It's that easy.

Congrats on the car. Is that a hardtop on the car. Sweet!
Now don't burn up the clutch or ruin your 2nd gear syncros.

Practicing manual today has been great fun, for first time really doing it I'm pretty good and kept the stalling to a decent minimum haha! If we're a size 8 shoe I'd have it by now, but 14s make it anatomically difficult haha!
