Dave,

You are probably feeling like you have devalued your car by changing it from its stock configuration. I am sure you are felling trapped and are getting serious buyers remorse for having done this conversion.

I want to let you know that I'm here for you bro. If you wish to bail, I will take it off your hands. I will give you my stock boxster in trade and won't charge you any extra!

Just private message me, no one has to know. There will be no embarrasment.

Boxsterund914,
For months I've been waiting for a true friend to step forward and save me from this conversion, my personal hell. Though we've never met, I want to thank you for stepping up to the plate on this. I'll never in my life forget your gesture of kindness....

Rather than PM you, I've simply just mailed you the keys to the car. Thanks again for saving me...In return, could you simply make the $100k check out to Dave in Jersey?

Thanks for the keys....The check is in the mail! I did it because I could read between the lines of your posts. I saw the pain.

How does the rear cover fit over the manifolds...looks like it sits too tall?

I think I've found my next mod!

It fits. They fit under the slight rise in the cover. I think that they used a couple of parts from the Cayman to make everything fit. I think that this is part of the "magic" of their conversion.

Dave, I really hope you don't have that car shipped up to you. You need to go down pick it up and DRIVE IT HOME!


That car is begging for some drives up the Natchez Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway,a nd you must go to NC for the Tail!!

That would be sweet! A 3.8 Boxster and a Supercharged Boxster on the same run? They'd never know what hit 'em!!

Nate what’s up bud... Do you know something about our project that I don't???

This would be a cool opportunity for the mags...Monster Boxsters from top U.S. tuners tour the tail of the dragon...I can see it in lights
