Wow, read that Boxsterls guy's thread. So glad I am not going that V8 route...


With the 4G GM V6 all I have to do is make an oil pan exhaust yada yada. The accessories are in the right spots; so no Porsche this and GM that... its all GM off the shelf and CHEAP.

Also, carburators are way simpler than FI. So I won't have all that hillamajazz going on with high/low speed fan controls, or figuring out how to make the VSS work on the GM engine. Just regulate fuel pressure to make the Edelbrock happy and drive. ***

And I shouldn't have to hack up my e-brake cable to fit it in there... obviously with the M 90 on top its gonna stick up and make VRrRRRrrRRRR noises behind my head.


*** my friends have me half convinced to do a TBI, but I'm still on the fence. I like an Edelbrock.

Well no boxster for me this time...

The looser that had this white car posted neglected to mention he had already sold the wheels separate from the car.

So I show up 250miles away from home with a car dolly only to find a boxster sitting on cinder blocks.

I asked him if he'd take $500 for it. I don't think he realized I was serious. I mean he'd sold the mirrors, seats, door handles, and some other bits that were pictured in his listing and I would still have bought it for $500 and found some wheels for temporary.

Why this guy didn't tell me before I drove to Atlanta I cannot tell you. Just another jackass who knows.



Anyrate, I'll find another one. Just gonna take time I suppose.
