Boxster Differences in Suspension by Model Year
Hi. We are contemplating a Boxster track car project. Really need only the shell and there are a lot of very cheaper older Boxsters out there to use as a starting point. I have searched the web a lot but have not found very good answers as to the differences in track and wheel base between the various model years. I get the impression that the track was widened in the mid 2000s but I can't find anything that says that the wheelbase has changed other than in the new 2013 Boxster. My questions are these:
1. Are the suspension attachment points the same for all model years up to and including 2012?
2. Since we are going to to be modifying this car heavily, can all the trick GT3 control arm and drop link mods be made to any model year Boxster from 1st gen to MY 2012?
3. Are the attachment points on the chassis the same for mounting of all the transmissions? We intend to use a 2005-on Boxster S 6 speed transmission in the build. Related, anybody know if all 6 speed trannys are the same regardless of whether they were in the S or not? Were there any changes to the internals on the transmissions? We want the stoutest 6 speed that is available.
I really appreciate any information that the group can provide. Thanks!
