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.

Nice score have fun with it !

Awesome Matt! Ya still need a Carrera tho' ;)....

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!

Not arguing with you! My wife and I agree that an air cooled 911 will again someday be in our garage, just a question of when. Which becomes that pesky financial discussion.

Nice!

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

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

Very nice!

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

Basically all of the black trim pieces. Tacky as hell.

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.

Congrats on picking the right color...

I agree. I agree also that the Boxsters are great

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

Dibs... when Matt releases it back into the wild in 6 months. I kid I kid!
Very nice ride!



Seriously Matt, PM me when ready to sell :)

I usually put my right leg in first, but I guess you could back in...

Oh Good Lord! That Lapis Blue, silver wheels, tan leather interior and red calipers make me feel all tingly just looking at it. Very beautiful !!! Exquisite !! Bravo !!!

Matt, NICE score my friend!

Very nice. Love the color.

Looking good! I like blue as well....

Very nice!

Wow, that's a nice looking car, Matt. That blue is pretty

Curious to see what you think of the TPC racing kit. I’ve always heard mixed reviews of them, but I think it was mostly on the tuning.

Stunning, Matt. Gorgeous color. A G-body 911 driver who is very talented can only hope to barely keep up with Boxsters. Maybe. Boxster S...no.

Enjoy.

I like the extra punch, I like the supercharger whine, and it basically runs like a standard Boxster. So no complaints. But I also wouldn’t spend $10k on it, for the money I would expect a more pronounced difference. That’s assuming that it’s making full boost, I’ll be checking that at some point just to make sure all is well.

He's gonna give it to me ;)

You don't have a snowball's chance....

Diamond Blue Metallic...trades...wink, wink ;)?

Nice car!

have you removed the 'silencer' from the LH air duct yet?

Sorry, couldn't resist :D

That blue is very nice - and with forced induction, too? Score...

Straight up, you’ve got a deal!:D

Haven’t even checked yet, pretty sure the supercharger kit included a K&N cone filter. I need to pop the lid and do some looking around.

In a move that will surprise exactly nobody, it's going up for sale.:)

Couldn’t even make it 6 whole months could you? :p

I need to stop buying Boxsters. Great cars but not really me.

I'll give you $5 grand. It's an old car. Have you got more pictures?

Wow, if only I had money burning a hole in my pocket and a place to put that. 3.4L? I thought they were 3.2L until somewhere in the 987.1 period, then they got upgraded to 3.4L.

Nice floor!

Crap that’s a typo on my part. The 996 was a 3.4 until 2002 when it was bumped up to a 3.6. Boxster S is a 3.2L.

Beautiful car, Matt.

I've wondered what it would be like to own and drive a Boxster.

Considering none of my 3 Porsches have air conditioning - and I live in Florida - that alone makes the idea attractive.

To get an example as nice as your is at only $15.5K is very very tempting.

But alas....I'm getting ready to re-roof my home so that pretty much trumps everything as far as priorities.

GLWS!

Jesus, Edith... :)

I figured as much

Nice Boxster. Probably not the best time of year to sell one in the midwest, though...

I never had to buy one to know that they're not for me. :cool:

What’s replacing it?
