Re: 986 for autocross and track days

Had a blast autocrossing the Boxster this season at local SCCA events. Unfortunately my season ended early due to an injury (ruptured biceps tendon in a fluke incident while building a treehouse for my grandkids).
I did decide to leave the car as is for this season and will now begin adding ...

Re: 986 for autocross and track days

It has 45k miles. Seems to run very well and shows signs of good care. I will get it on a lift and check it out. I won’t be able to run in stock class due to lowering springs. I will be in SCCA solo class STU.

Re: 986 for autocross and track days

That’s great advice. I have seen similar experiences/modifications discussed on other forums. Very excited to get this car to an autocross and see how it feels as is and then start building from there. I will likely start with the reliability enhancing modifications-air oil separator, underdrive ...

Re: 986 for autocross and track days

Thank you! That’s my plan for the upcoming season and I will see what adjustments will complement the type of events and my driving style. I did this with my ‘74 911 and enjoyed the process of figuring how to work with the car as a driver and amateur mechanic/tuner. Looking for input from people ...

986 for autocross and track days

I just picked up a 1998 Boxster to use for autocross and track days. Anyone have experience with early Boxsters used for this purpose and suggestions on modifications for improved performance without significant compromise to reliability and the overall character of the car? Appears to be a solid ...

Re: Where do you park your 911 ? - Post Pics !!!!

Love seeing these garages! Nice work. It is fun to get creative with our work/storage areas for our cars.
I started with a 30x40 shell of a pole barn and finished the inside.

Boxster story

I have always wanted a Boxster and a couple of years ago found one right in my backyard (about 20 miles away). 2003 base in speed yellow. I love this color on this car. It had 19000 miles on it. Sadly the original owner had passed away and her husband was selling it after storing it for several ...
