Check out this Boxster S.
It's nearby, I can check it out in person, and of course, if I like it, I'll get it inspected before I buy. Seems pretty cheap to me. Am I missing something here? |

**SLIGHT HI-JACK**
FVD 3.8L Conversion Into Member's 986 Boxster! www.fvd.us I thought some of you might find this conversion interesting. A customer at FVD in Florida sent his 2002 986 Boxster S to have something that has not yet been done. Putting a 3.8L 997S motor into the newer cars (987 and Cayman) is no problem, essentially plug and play with little to no fabrication necessary. This car was a whole new challenge! A good amount of fabrication and customization went into putting this new motor into a previous generation car! Well the car went out for the first official road test yesterday and we are confident the car is getting near completion! Conversion Specs: -Porsche 3.8L 997S Motor -Bosch 7.8MN Motronic Conversion With FVD Programing -FVD Sport Headers -FVD Sport Catalytics -FVD Sport Clutch & Light Weight Flywheel Setup As I said the car is now in the road test stage and we hope to get it to the dyno by the end of the week (if not early next week). I was lucky enough to go on the first road test with the tech and let me tell you this thing is an animal! Dave spec'd this car WITHOUT PSM (Traction Control) so you can imagine what a handful this car is! This might be one of the most fun cars I have been in with the handling of the boxster and the power of a 997S! One of the best parts of this car is that the outside is completely stock (even has amber side markers!). This car is the definition of a sleeper! Keep in mind all this with priliminary testing programing (not even final which will be more power!). I will have dynos and hopefully a little video in the next couple weeks for you guys, but for now here are some photos of the "almost" finished product: Pics: (IMG:http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/werksracer/Boxster/FVDMotorsports3.jpg) (IMG:http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/werksracer/Boxster/FVDMotorsports3-1.jpg) (IMG:http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/werksracer/Boxster/FVDMotorsports3-2.jpg) (IMG:http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/werksracer/Boxster/FVDMotorsports3-4.jpg) (IMG:http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/werksracer/Boxster/FVDMotorsports3-3.jpg) |
