Question Looking to upgrade my 986

I have a 2002 Boxster 986 non-S model.

I am looking to upgrade with the followings:

1. Better wheels and tires (for better look and for occasional track day)

2. Better suspension (for for occasional track day)

3. Underdrive pulley

4. ECU upgrade

5. Better exhaust system

6. Rear Spoiler

7. Front lip

I don't mind to get used parts. Please let me know if you know any good sources to get those parts.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Didn't you askbasicially the same thing in your other thread ?

Adding a wing and front lip pretty much needs you to change to a adjustable coilover suspension

It might be easier and cheaper to sell and buy an "S".

It starts that way. You mod the car and do a couple DE where you can catch the higher HP cars in the corners and lose them again on the straights. Next because you have already invested $3000 to $4000 in upgrade that add no value to the base, you buy a engine conversion or do it yourself.

Been there done that sell the car and buy a S or Cayman S with a 3.4.
