OBRUT Posted 15April, 2017 Report Share Posted 15April, 2017 The wheels will be the key. I'd be tempted to source the wheels before the car!Is a 5x130 to 5x205 adaptor available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevMcRev Posted 15April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 15April, 2017 (edited) The wheels will be the key. I'd be tempted to source the wheels before the car!Is a 5x130 to 5x205 adaptor available?I've seen 205 to 130 but not 130 to 205.This BMW made it work with custom ones...I't be great to do it with style but i'd be just as happy with regular 5x130 steelies. I would expect them to need modifying/widening etc to get the fitment right.Or Image Wheels do an alloy in a classic steelie look, in any size. http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/billet-46-classic-build-alloy-wheel/I've tracked down a few other 16" 5x130 steel wheels too...

itsujack Posted 26April, 2017 Report Share Posted 26April, 2017 Indeed! It's the only one I've found on initial searching when you do a general search for rally boxster. But I have some variations to this theme I'm mulling over... Just hoping prices for base cars stay low for at least another 6 months. So don't get everyone too excited about boxster project cars just yet Trev! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevMcRev Posted 29April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 29April, 2017 Update: Just got home from picking up the McBoxRod an hour ago.Who would've thought a $13000 beater could bring you so much joy! Not driving for a year brings a new found appreciation for the simple pleasure of driving.Stoked to be driving and stoked to be driving a Porsche!One of the perks of buying off a guy who owns an exhaust shop is negotiating a Fister-mod into the deal - the sound is like music to my ears, and it all happens at sensible enough speed that retaining a license shouldn't be that hard!I drove half the way back along Beach Rd behind this Ferrari and I'm positive I were more happy with my base-spec boxster than they were with their $400k Fezza.

thumperson Posted 29April, 2017 Report Share Posted 29April, 2017 That fezza is the Boxster of the Italian family too so you were practically in the sae car! My vote is is for "boxrod"this is going to be a fun build and I can already hear the whinging from the ac guys when you monster them on SMTs.
