I actually contacted the guy as I picked-up on the fact that he's running a depowered steering rack in the car. he says the steering isn't heavy at all even with big 18x8 rims on the front. also says there is no dead spot in the middle (as can happen with converted racks). so, if you don't want to hook-up an electric PS system, consider manual - lots of threads on the interweb on how to de-power 944 and Miata PS racks.

I guess point of this post is that he's a nice guy and will answer questions (although he's flooded right now since his car got listed on bringatrailer.com).

Has to be a POrsche engine

As I like Porsche engines I want no udder brand of engines.
So I have an Cayenne Turbo S engine in my garage but its to big and heavy, to be honest it looks like an truck engine!
So the only udder option is an 997 3.8L engine with 385hp I can get a low km unit over her for 7000€.
This how the car looks at the moment.

We are taking the suspension from a 997Cup car as that car was improved with better things.

You know the rear shocks won't work in a Boxster right?

As we have a complete 997gt3 wreck we always have the possibility to pick parts and modify them.
We are also building two 951 with the completee suspensión system from 986/996 in the workshop at this moment
