The S is getting the following: water pump , AOS , LN IMS Solution , RMS , cam chains, full on headwork , lifters , clutch , battery plus a new vinyl rear window. Yep Jake Raby and I worked out a horse trade that benefit's both of us. Will post pics when I get her.
Sounds like you will be getting a nice Boxster!

If anyone is interested in this go for it... no way I could swing the deal in my current financial situation.
I'd take a Miata over a 2.5 liter Boxster. Big time.

Yeah with most of Jake's magic poured into her I'm sure it will run strong and be reliable. It truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me I'm really looking forward to picking her up. She's a 2002 S in Arctic silver, black top and black leather interior. Has the OEM 18 " wheels I've already picked up a set of aftermarket TR Motorsport forged wheels for her ! I don't have the car yet and I'm buying parts......yeah I'm hooked . She's going to be a quasi daily driver sharing duties with my diesel pickup. And for weekend fun the 83SC...........life is good

Whoa! I would be interested in hearing why?

I liked my 1984 944 much more than my Miata... even thought it was ten years older it pretty much felt better in every way.

I will need to hold on to the Miata for a few years but when the time comes I am planing on moving to a Boxster.
