Recommend a Boxster tech BBS please
 
Pelican's Boxster BBS isn't very active so where do you Boxster owners go for tech advice? I am looking for buyers guide too. Thanks!

All are better than Pelican for the water pumpers.

Or befriend a Porsche tech who drives a Boxster

Planet-9.com is pretty good

Are you kidding me? PPBB.com (Chuck Hammersmith et al GOD bless his soul) is now PedrosBoard. Tell them Rev Dennis sent you. Best Boxster tech board bar none.

Or 3 Boxsters!

I don't know what it is with PP - no activity on the 993 board either.

I consider Pelican as the absolute go-to for any 911 1989 or older. After that it gets pretty sparse.

That's kind of sad. I thought after the release of Wayne's 101 Projects book for the Boxter the message board would get more lively. Is it an issue of the car not being old enough for the DIY'rs to take hold to them? Do you think it's an issue with the car being perceived as "too complex" to DIY?

Just curious. . .

That’s a good question. Seems like that the older cars get, the more enthusiasts get ahold of them. Right now the Boxster is still new enough that they are owned by non-enthusiast people who don’t really get into the car scene. I suspect as they get older (and cheaper) you’ll see more and more of them owned by guys like us.

With that said, it may not be here. Forums are only as good as the members, and there are already some pretty good Boxster forums. Why would they quit using the forum that they’ve been on for years and come here?
