TwoHeadsTas Posted 17March, 2018 Report Share Posted 17March, 2018 OK, have become aware of a silver '98 manual with a blown engine (broken big end bolt apparently) with price starting at around $8k but open for offers. Located in northern Tas. PM me for owner's contact details if you're interested. Owner's wife wants it gone so she can get the ride-on mower in and out of the shed!!! If I had the space it'd be mine.... Definite Boxrod to be....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevMcRev Posted 17March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 17March, 2018 The one needing an engine $5k I reckon. The $11k car was an outlier, easy worth $15+ I like the Audi V8 idea... Your next track car @DJM ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 17March, 2018 Report Share Posted 17March, 2018 Given my last track day was 2 laps in September and it's been in the workshop ever since, I am having withdrawal symptoms. But the thought of building a track weapon from a stock Boxster is not very appealing. $8k would become $50k in a heartbeat. i bought my track ready Mazda for $17k and I reckon I've still thrown $30k at it to keep it going. I'm always thinking "the worst is behind me" but history shows track cars cost money, fast highly strung ones even more ??

MFX Posted 17March, 2018 Report Share Posted 17March, 2018 $8k for Boxster with a blown engine is far too much. I think they would be lucky to get half of that. It is very hard to sell a project. If they want to get some money back out of it they need to spend the money to replace the engine themselves or take a much bigger hit unfortunately.

I don't understand why he went to the effort of swapping the Subaru to the Audi engine? If the Subaru had twice as much horsepower and a peaky torque curve but the same weight, why wouldn't you just put a smaller turbo on it to detune it so it had a nice linear lag free torque curve, run it in the power to weight class he wants to be in and be done with it? Money no object?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 17March, 2018 Report Share Posted 17March, 2018 Seems like the same one I was made aware of a year or more ago, possibly two. Too hard basket for her unfortunately. A real shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 17March, 2018 Report Share Posted 17March, 2018 I’ve googled safari Boxster and nothing comes up. Channeling @OBRUT... I saw an NA MX5 the other day and thought that’d be a rippa down the ranch ‘teaching the kids’ how to drive (sidewayz) but at these prices why would I bother with a Mazda? Can you get a tow hook on a Boxster? If so I’m thinking El Rancho Boxster! firstone and TrevMcRev 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive often though about stripping Everything off a manual 2.5 or 2.7 Boxster (aside from the a/c...). My rough calc is you could likely get to 2.7RS touring power to weight ratio.
