The Lemony build here was under $15K. I am doubtful that I could pull off a boxster project for under $30K at which point I would rather build a turbo 996. I can buy a complete twin turbo drive train for $20K and a 996 with bad engine for $7K and have a twin turbo monster for $30K

I would like to build another of these fit someone. I think I could do it again for under $12K.

Dear Fronky: I'm trying to modify an adapter that will let me use the front brake lines that I have. If this doesn't work out, do you still have any of the brake lines that you had pics of recently? I need ones with a metric inverted flare female on one end and the caliper end has to have a metric bubble flare...From the photos..looks like you have some that might work. Might have to come over and pay you a visit to scope things out better..Thanks, Rich Nunn, AKA Tiger 03447

In that case gt28 or equivalent oem turbo setup (twinscroll evo turbo comes to mind or vf series sit turbo) E30 with stock internals and stand alone. Hard to imagine more smiles per dollar. Best of luck and keep us updated.

So I had a nasty vibration at 3800 RPM. I did a little reading and found that likely it was a balance shaft 180 degrees of of phase and likely the bottom one. Sure enough, duh! So I swapped it around and the car is amazing. Love this thing.

Hmm, I'd have Van or someone make you a custom decal. Something like:

========= It's Pronounced Fronkensteen =========

or

========= Walk this way ==========

or

========= What hump??? =========

or

========= I'll go first ========

or

========== Think this is awesome? You should see my schwanzschtücker! ==========

BTW where did you find that small version CS script? Every single one I found was the size of the entire door which looks like brown fecal matter.
