TrevMcRev Posted 12April, 2017 Report Share Posted 12April, 2017 (edited) If you have or know of an early Boxster for sale i'm interested.Must be manual trans.1st pref is Silver exterior with Boxster Red interior. 2nd Silver with Black interior.3rd pref Black exterior w red or black interior. Maaaaybe a tan interior at the right price.Exterior/interior doesn't need to be perfect. Suits me better if not at the appropriate discount.Don't really care if 2.5, 2.7 or 3.2, but must be driveable and mechanically sound.Pref in VIC, but will buy the right car interstate.$10-15K or a little more.

TrevMcRev Posted 13April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 13April, 2017 Another project or a daily driver? Liking your preferred colour combos!Nah, just completed my hairdressing certificate at Sunshine Tafe. Dad will be so proud!Ok....A daily driveable project!Outlaw boxster beater.Dumped on steelies w fat rubber, stripped interior, retro steering wheel, red low-back spyder seats, loud long single pipe trumpet exhaust, other silly stuff, think modern day RSK/550 - obviously a highly practical daily! It's this or a early WRX as a runabout. I should be more mature than that....but have always wanted one... If the right Boxster doesn't show up soon I'll likely grab a one in the meantime and keep looking. poli84, ANF, Skidmarks and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBRUT Posted 13April, 2017 Report Share Posted 13April, 2017 (edited) Subscribed, subscribed, subscribed. 2.5 has less stuff to begin with, so less stuff to remove and throw in the skip.

Aim for sub 1100kgs. Yeah I kind of want to do it out of a 1st year 2.5 car preferably. Goes with the ethos of my early 924 which is also very spartan compared to those a few years newer.And everyone knows I don't need the power!

sandy468 Posted 13April, 2017 Report Share Posted 13April, 2017 So you'd be running 16" steelies Trev, can you even buy 16's? Would the offset work to clear callipers etc? and tyres not hit guards? as you'd be running high profile tyres as well I expect and not licorice straps .......and dumping the body ....

TrevMcRev Posted 13April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 13April, 2017 (edited) 550 spyder tribute. The styling of the boxster actually lends itself more to RSK / RS-60 than the 550. The headlights... so boxster.The original concept car was so much cooler than the production one...Look at that exhaust pipe! Awesome! So you'd be running 16" steelies Trev, can you even buy 16's? Would the offset work to clear callipers etc? and tyres not hit guards? as you'd be running high profile tyres as well I expect and not licorice straps .......and dumping the body ....Wheels would be something custom. Widened to get fit/offset right and fill the guards. Yes to big rubber!Not sure yet if 15's could be made to work - but hopeful on an early non-S car with smaller brakes.I've been racking my brain how to do it with those old 356 drum brake style wheels (which are 16") but not sure...I found a guy who did manage to fit them to a BMW of all things by engineering some hub adapters to suit. That would be cool, but a lot easier made out of widened early 911/912 wheels.Failing that I've found a source for billet alloys in any size that look like steelies - the irony....

James P Posted 13April, 2017 Report Share Posted 13April, 2017 Maybe you can get it down to a reasonable price http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Porsche-Boxster-1998-Roadster-/332182180262?hash=item4d5799d1a6:g:qK0AAOSwEjFXcyQD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of a reasonably priced silver auto but just don't think it will cut it for driving experience...as much as MrsMcRev thinks it's a good idea!Ditch the screen and just use a low,"aero" screen. Nice high speed way to ingest protein as well ...It will start off as a daily so will keep the screen and hood....for now.If I really dig it, and get another car as a daily, then I would toss the whole roll bar n hood, add a single pod/hump and chop the screen/replace with aero screen - and buy some goggles!Below: What I think I'll look like at the next SMT...What I'll actually look like!

Harvs11 Posted 14April, 2017 Report Share Posted 14April, 2017 (edited) Trev, have I got a deal for you!1 owner, low k's, paint's a bit scruffy and could use some fresh tyres. I'm sure we can do a deal within your budget. Edited 14April, 2017 by Harvs11 TrevMcRev and scashin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 14April, 2017 Report Share Posted 14April, 2017 (edited) Ditch the screen and just use a low,"aero" screen. Nice high speed way to ingest protein as well ...yeah, nahi had a Clubman with a full windscreen which meant it had aero of a brick and would hit an aero wall at 215 km/h. I planned to remove it until another of the clubman guys with an aero screen copped a seagull in the chest at high speed on the main straight at Sandown. Very lucky not to cop serious injury or worse....#badphotoshop Challenge is to beat Magnus to it Edited 14April, 2017 by DJM TrevMcRev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
