My first Porsche!
 
I sold my '91 Miata SE (BRG) 4 years ago and have missed the 2 seater experience during our short but beautiful Rochester summers. After looking at a few Z4's I found this cherry '99 Boxster Same tan color interior but black.The wife and I fell immediately in love!

So much more comfortable, solid and powerful than my Miata.

Are these upgrade wheels?

Just found owners manual and original price sticker. This has Sport Package. Someone told me these wheels don't look OEM.

Nice find and welcome to the club! :)

The wheels appear to be the OEM Porsche Sport Classics (my personal favorite) ;)

kjc2050 05-05-2015 02:43 AM

Yep, Sport Classics. I have the same on my car; beautiful, but a bit of a PITA to clean. I wouldn't change them, though. Welcome to forum!!

Welcome, car looks great and I love those wheels as well.

Really nice Boxster, the tan interior looks great against black and the wheels look really sharp also, well done & good health to enjoy it.

Nice picture with Montour Falls in the back round Now you need to take a spin on the track.

shacky 05-06-2015 06:28 PM

Would love to take this on the Glen. Are there any events where that's possible?

If you are interested in some track time consider contracting
Our local Porsche club. Or the SCCA Google them for links to
Their websites. The porsche group may offer a Car Control Clinic
And DE. Drive Education sessions. The SCCA is currently running
Events call track nights across the country.

Enjoy and welcome whatever you decide to do.

Yes the CNYPCA has a few events at the Glen. There is one coming up at the end of May. Nice looking ride!! Welcome.

Is this stock exhaust?

Not for your car.
The twin pipe mufflers came stock on the 3.2 cars, that is, if it is a stock twin pipe muffler.
I think it is an aftermarket twin pipe unit, because the pipes stick out past the bumper cover.
Mine are flush.

shacky 05-12-2015 07:08 AM

Not best pic but looks like single pipe muffler - or is that a second muffler?

Yeah!

shacky 05-12-2015 07:19 AM

Yeah! I thought this sounded awful good for stock.

Does this look aftermarket?

Definitely.
Here's what a factory muffler looks like.

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/Pic11431774343.jpg

They're huge!
Your two can muffler probably sounds amazing and has great volume, but resonates like crazy around 2-3k.
That's what made me ditch my aftermarket unit and find a factory muffler.

Just enjoy that ride of yours, it's right sweet looking.

shacky 05-16-2015 06:12 AM

Thanks! I do love the sound.
