Folks .... finally got the 2002 Boxster S on the road last night. We had issues getting the exhaust system from the States via Useless Parcel Service. I took it out for a cruise last night and man does it feel good. This car is nice and tight and feels like a 2 year old car VS a 7 year old. I had the motor rebuilt so I have to take it easy for the next 1,500 km and try and keep it under 5,500 RPM.

Car takes off smoothly with very little pedal effort and gets up to speed quickly ... am impressed. It is definatly different than my old 951, but I expected it to be. It does need a good cleaning which will be done over the next few days. I have taken a few shots with the crackberry and will post better ones over the weekend.

 

Good to see your on the road again.

 

well done man.

 

Good going jaak! Just in time for the winter. I'll see you at Timmies.

 

Congrats Jaak! Another Boxster out in the wilderness. I hope to see you (and your new toy) at our next Satursday morning GTG

 

 

Thanks guys ... will be there on Saturday!!!

 

good stuff.

Hey at least you didn't have to blur the plates in the picture!

 

Bravo Jaak !!!

 

Been there twice this week ...

 

Great stuff! What did Porsche call that gray? It's not seal gray...right?

 

Happy to see,
You should be able to put the 1500km by Sunday evening

 

I believe it is ...

 

great work
put the top down!
what did you end up doing? rebuilding or replacing the engine?

 

I rebuilt it through Marios shop. I also had to replace the exhaust system as it was drenched in oil; O2 sensors as well. Problem was getting Useless Parcel Service to deliver part of it. That took close to three weeks.

Just waiting for the rims to be delivered (they come with 18 inch dunlop sport tires) which are almost new! Should be delivered next week ...
