And yep...the snow is rubbish!!! My car wont make it out of the garage for another couple of months.

Hi Y2BOX,thanks for the welcome!

I can't believe more people from the UK don't use this site, I don't know how I managed before! It has become my Boxster bible.
I too love the 964rs in mint green and have seen 2 of the 3 you mention at Porsche events.(they are getting very pricey though,even in this economic climate)

I was speaking to a guy recently who told me he had sold his Boxster the previous year but still had some bits and pieces cluttering up his garage, and would I be interested in buying them,the parts in question the alluminium handbrake and gear knob were both in excellent condition so a very reasonable deal was stuck,
and the very next day they were fitted (with a little help from previous posts on here)a couple of before during and after shots.




Sorry for the picture quality,crap camara phone,poor light..........etc.

I see you have the LEDs for the gauges. I gave up on it. I got the analog to turn blue but the digital display was very finicky. I was only able to get one to work, the other two absolutely refused to glow for me. So I had to change it back to the original orange for the digital displays.

Great job on the interior by the way. I like the hand brake, nice touch!

Thanks Trieu,
I fitted the neons a couple of months ago,when I bought them the guy in the shop told me if they did not work turn them 180 degrees as neons require the current to pass a certain way,could this have been your problem? I had to spin a couple of mine around before they would light up.

I recently painted the dial trims in body colour too!

I'm glad your car isn't everyone's cup of tea. What a dull world it would be if we all drove black 'n tans!

I saw you recently on BoXa.net? I've been brushing up on my English English there lately, but sometimes my American English get in the way.

Hello Gents!

I've been away for a few years (3 to be honest) and the Box has been sat in the garage with minimal use, but this Summer it came out and had a full service, brake


overhaul and new tires all round and we set off to the "Ring" the car ran faultlessly and I fell in love with it all over again.




We've booked to go back next year too so the Box is going to get a bit more attention and some mild tweak's.
If there are still any of the guy's I used to chat with on here drop me a line
