I'm guessing your calipers are going to be fluorescent green to match your intake plumbing.
Very cool that your car is only 50 lbs more than a tip. Power to weight ratio is awesome. Anyone know off hand what the ratio is for a 2000 911 Turbo for comparison?


Found it: 2000 911 turbo
3395
3688 heaviest

415 hp @ 6000

I've driven a X50 996 turbo and it was scary fast. I'm sure your boxster is a handful especially without traction control and rear wheel drive only.
Awesome job, enjoy!

You guessed it!! I do love that color!

It is a handful but since it doesn't have an LSD it isn't too bad. Just spins the inside tire a good bit but still motivates down the road surprisingly well even spinning the tire into 4th gear


Well the weather here this weekend was pretty freaking sweet, unfortunately today it has taken a major crap but oh well, not much I can do about it. Guess now is a good time to start doing some other things on it...

The new axles feel great and the car has a much more solid feel now! I am still getting a strange shaking in the front end which it was doing before the conversion which is starting to drive me nuts. I'll try and get a video of it and see if any of you have experienced it before~

Just a few ticks under 2000 miles on the conversion and kicking ass! ~
Thanks
