The reason why the 986/996 forums are dead is because they really aren't "enthusiast" models.
Sure some of us Porschephiles own them but the MAJORITY of those models are bought by people who don't have a Fn clue and simply own it as a status symbol. They aren't buying components from Pelican, Rennsport, Smart Racing etc etc to try to extract every ounce of performance from the vehicle... probably for the beter since the drivetrain can't hack it anyays. They arent doing DIY.
Again, I said MAJORITY.
My 1st peice of advice to this guy would have been not to purchase a Boxster, my second would be to find a competent mechanic because it seems like whomever is doing the work doesn't have a Fn clue, either.

Really? This attitude is IMHO crap. People who believe the only real enthusiast car is an air cooled 911 should strap themselves into a Boxster S, Cayman or 996 and hit the track. Yes, my current Porsches are air cooled but I had plenty of fun in my Boxster S before I sold it and experienced a pro driver in my car from the passenger seat. I've spent plenty of days at the track with drivers of all kinds of cars. An enthusiast is not defined by what car they drive, it's what they do with it. Would you tell the guy in the stripped down Civic SI at the track he or she isn't an enthusiast?
Sorry about your Boxster mechanical problems and good luck getting them addressed. Enjoy your car!
