Mine just failed again, a bit more than 3 years later. Took it apart again, and applied the same fix again. Worked like a charm. Hopefully, I get another 3 years out of it.

I installed the 997 short shifter. It's pricey, but I love it. Not a difficult job at all.

The Boxster S has a third opening in the front grill, in the middle. Other than that, a few trim pieces in the interior are all I know of that look different.

Yeah, it depends on what you want to do. If you wanted to drive it a lot an R8 or a Gallardo would be a good choice. Heck even an air cooled 911 twin turbo would be good.
