Any 986 Owners here?

Hey guys just figured id post up a couple pictures of my daily driver. Its a 2002 Boxster base model, 5 spd. Engine is running strong at 147,000 miles now.

heres a picture when i first got it.




Since then Ive replaced the two rear tires, removed the rear boxster badging, and I did the "550 taillight mod" which is removing the amber from the tails. Such a small difference really changes how the back of the car looks its nice.






I recently purchased a full set of Boxster S brakes to replace my Base model brake system, and ill be refinishing the wheels in original silver since I dont care for the powdercoated black wheels. Ill be installing those soon. Future plans are most likely to sell the car unfortunately to help fund purchasing either a house, or a Nissan GTR

986 owner here Tim. Many people are disappointed with the lack of involvement when driving a GTR. I rebuilt my 2000 S engine to 3.6L & the driving is even funner than before. You can save alot of money installing this: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...gine-sale.html

I switched my lights too but the car felt slower so I put the originals back in & gave the new ones to a competeter!
