How do everyone. Merry xmas and happy new year!!
Not been on net for a while and forgpt my password so not been on here for a while, meanwhile i have been thoughly enjoying my boxster.
Had it coming up to a year now!!!!! Thats a long time for me, normally only keep a car a couple months.. but ive inly really had jap, and always wanted a porsche, and love it.. really do
I though about going back to jap but i couldnt part with it.. so improvement required!
Its a w reg 2000 2.7 boxster manual with 108k full porsche historh in black and good condition..
So questions. I really want a 996, but i cant stretch to one. So ill be staying boxster for a while till i can..
Now before i do anything to the 2.7, should i be thinking of going to a 3.2? Is there a big difference? Is it worth the hassle of selling and upgradng? Id like to knkw what people tbinkk, yes the 2.7 is bloody quick on the road and i already have an rx8 track car so no track work required.. but i know the 3.2 is quicker and better brakes, but how much better?
Stereo, its got a horrible aftermarket one, id like to move the heater controls to the lower section (is this easy to do?) And then fit a double din.. is there a decent stock looking stereo anyone can recomened , id like it to look stock double din but with blue tooth etc
Wheels
Id like to space them out, any recomendations where to get proper hubcentric ones?
Its also got 17s at the moment id like some turbo twist 18s eventually
Spoiler, id love a spoiler, skirts.. ive seen this spoiler on a youtube vid, anyone one know what it is?

Centre console, / arm rest down the middle, mines all scratch, and top coats come off, are they all like this or can i find a good one??
Its has a toyo exhaust, sounds great, de snorkeled, Ä·nà± filter aparently, and some company tinung sticker inside so not sure what else could have been done.. ill get a pic maybe ypu can suggest what/who they are..
Intake mods for a 2.7. I seens some people doing this, buying it through one shops is expensive (throttle body mod?) Is there a cheaper way of doing this? Where to buy parts etc
Drivers window, im guessing the regulator ismknackered, its makes a noise and moves about 1mm but doesnt drop when opening door, i can push the window down that bit by hand to where it shoudl have dropped to. Also when jndoing the window it goes down far to far, and drops past the rubbers and then rattle in the door as goes down too far into the door, am i right in saying regulator? Easy enough to fix..
It does go up whe closing door fine
Im sure i got some other questions.. now ive had it a year got to know it, i know what i wamt to improve...
Sorry for all the questions
Many thanks merrry xmas happy new year!!!!.
