Overall, this car build has been a great time...I've now tracked the car at Sears Point, Laguna Seca and Thunderhill. Believe it or not, a 2.5L Boxster with a nice suspension can really play with big horsepower cars on the track. I'll have pictures later of the car on the track and also a view in car videos.

If anyone has thought of building a track Boxster, I'd have to say GO FOR IT!

Inspiring to say the least!

If I were you, I would wonder how much the Spec Boxster now weights with all that factory stuff removed.

Whats your estimate of how much weight the Spec boxster lost?

Thanks guys!

I'll be putting the car on scales in a few weeks when I take the car into a local shop for this season's upcoming annual tech inspection. I'm guessing we go the car down into the 2850lbs range with gas and driver. Spec Boxster rules are 2700lbs with gas and driver minimum, so we're getting close. Per rules the car is still all metal other than a GT3 nose I put on a few weeks ago. I'll be posting some pics of that in the next few days as well.

At Laguna Seca especially, we were really having success running against Vipers, EVO's, Vettes and Spec Miatas. We have more power than a Spec Miata and we can outhandle the bigger cars. As setup, this car has great bang for the buck.

Now...to find time to cut down those vids....
