Back in a Porsche
This weekend I picked up a 2001 Boxster S, so I’m officially a Porsche owner again. Bought it from the second owner of 15 years who was pretty emotional to see it go, with a hip and knee replacement he was having a hard time driving it anymore. It’s Lapis Blue over Savannah Beige full leather with a TPC supercharger installed by TPC, SSR forged wheels, and some really tacky stick on wood grain that I’ve already removed.
 Metrapol Blue top and it includes a color matched hard top. Only 50k and in really good shape overall, it needs a really deep detail and some maintenance and should make a fun driver.

It looks sweet. I'm glad you removed the wood grain bits.

Nice!
Did you see my thread on removing small bits of rust - I need to pick your brain on that and detailing. Best!

Nice!
Waiting for 964s and 993s to come back into orbit. The looming recession might get it done. Quote:

Where does one put stick on wood grain in a Boxster? I can't imagine. Details on the 'supercharger'?

Looks good!
And I'm sure you'll have it looking even better in short order.

The supercharger is an Eaton M62, it’s mounted low on the passenger side near the exhaust manifold. I haven’t really torn into things to see the details of the install. I know it also has a piggyback fuel computer and a seventh injector. It’s about 4.5 psi so while you can tell a difference it’s not a ONG experience either. I’d call performance similar to a 996 if not slightly faster. So no slouch.

I have to say that Lapis Blue is amazing in person.
