Is it just me or do others see it? It actually raised and not lowered, especially in the back end.

 

I think the pic was taken before the installation of the lowering springs. From the OP:
"Minus some rocker vinyl and some lowering springs that we decided to add a few hours ago, the car is now 97% finished but photos are long overdue."

 

Yes...I just took an order from a customer who sent me a used Boxster 2014 spec 981. You don't need to start with an S.

 

Whatever you want! It's a custom built Cayman for the end user just like you were ordering it from the dealership. Find me the donor car and send it to us and we'll deliver. If you want a purple PDK car, we will do it!

 

Given that it's an engine swap, yes, the warranty will be void. HOWEVER, we are offering a 30 hour labor credit to anyone to be used whenever/wherever and if you're local, we would consider setting up some sort of 1 year drivetrain troubleshoot, whatever. Yes, warranties won't be void after this BUT we're not trying to scare anyone either.

There is no matching of engine serial numbers, etc. and while I am not by any means suggesting this, someone may not even know. BUT I wouldn't suggest it and I would just assume be up front with any dealership about what has been done to this car.

 

Peter,

It's making 400 crank hp stock. It has no flash, no headers, no high flow filters and Guard's transmission ratios will work in this transmission. Don't waste your time and $ with the GT3 idea, as it's not worth the $. You said it yourself that you could have $100K in this thing making near 400 rwhp. With all due respect, let's get going!

 

Sorry for the lack of an updated photo. I polled the people and while we agreed that lowering springs were not a good idea for a dealer car and while we agreed that the stripes were no bueno, the boss veto'd and on they both went on, albeit in a revised fashion. So...the car sits lower on H&R 2014 981 springs by about 1.25" in the rear and 1.4" in the front.

 

^ Beautiful! Looks MUCH better lowered and I like the rocker vinyl matching the calipers, too.

 

Are you implying that the 3.8 may be lighter than the 3.4?

 

No...I think that whoever wrote that was on the same page that we were on in thinking that the car sat too high. We took a car from 18" wheels to 20" wheels and it had HUGE fender gap.

I think the best thing that i just discovered was that we got 2.0 degrees of camber on all 4 corners WITHOUT modifying anything, just by lowering it and using the factory eccentric adjustments for toe/camber.

 

The stripes wouldn't be for me. Otherwise, wow.

 

You meant 'valid' instead of the bolded, I assume.

 

John,
Besides the cost engine itself, what would be the cost increase/difference of installing a GT3 engine vs the 3.8L 9A1?

 

Nice job John! Lowering makes all the difference.

 

That's me Got a great deal on a base 981 Boxster with just a couple thousand miles on it as a donor car and had it shipped straight to BGB. Excited to work with John and the BGB team on this project, will post pics and thoughts once I get the car later this summer.
