Too many Boxsters?

I haven't had much time to play with Boxsters, but did make it to the final race day of the season with North Texas Rallycross. The Frog held together well. My best time was 4th out of 28 drivers, but I had a few runs where I didn't keep the car on the best line and finished 7th overall. The Frog felt good and held together well.







In the off season I plan to get a better setup for the muffler and check over the suspension and alignment to see where I can improve it.

Happy Thanksgiving (USA). It's a slow day at work for me and I decided to upload video from my last rallycross.

In less than two weeks I'll be joining some friends for the 2025 Texas Carnado. Along with a trailer hitch, new off-road lights, and other changes, I decided to add a snorkel. I won't intentionally cross water deeper than about half way up the door, but unintentional happens. The fender was still dented from when the car rolled over in September and running the snorkel from the side duct up through a dented area kept it clear of anything structural and allows easy motion of the top and clamshell. It looks awkward in it's current form, but I'm going to let my mind adjust to it for a few days before making changes.

hate to be the bearer of bad news but that snorkel ain't never gonna work...

... unless you add 5-7 zip-ties. 🤣

Good luck and have fun!

This car doesn't go anywhere without a roll of duct tape and a bag of zip-ties

Today I added a chicken to counter-balance the snorkel. I think that will work.



Off-road lights are wired now.

not ideal but qualifies as an acceptable substitution... ;-)

The snorkel worked well.



Going fast through the water was a little too much stress on the front lip though and it departed. Someone was kind enough to wade in and grab it for me, but it's not going back on the car.



The front bumper works as-is. I'll take a look through my scrap collection in the week ahead and figure out a better design for a dual purpose 'bow-splitter'.



It was very rough terrain. The Xbox did great and I don't think anything broke, just a few new dents and scrapes.

Stuttgart needs to see these pictures. Your boxster is 5 times the rally car than their latest "dakar" model, lol

I'd be willing to let them have it if they'd trade for a worn out old 959.
