1997 Porsche Boxster Race / Track Day Car. Jake Raby Flat 6 / LN Engineering Engine.
Vehicle has minimal use since built 4 years ago, and only used as a DE / Lapping day car, and one hill climb race. Never raced wheel-to-wheel. Zero body / tub damage ever. Approximately 20 hours on all parts in build. Every single part used was new at time of build (seriously, all the suspension, brakes, engine, everything was 100% brand new at the time and is all essentially as-new now), and all regular maintenance items were replaced at the time. Regular service done since (engine oil, transmission oil and brake fluid changed after each event). The car is street registered in BC / Canada and can be insured as a road car (helpful if you want to keep your car insured properly in case of the 'worst'). Can be driven on the road with the appropriate tires, but it's not really a road car any more. Built to be a fun to drive, friendly, reliable and safe track day car with no expenses spared. For a BC buyer, the car is insured as a 'modified' vehicle and as such, is cheaper to insure and has greater value coverage than as a normal '97 Boxster in the event of a loss. Since it's a registered street car, I'm sure importing to the US wouldn't be much difficulty as it's easy to establish ownership. The car is a Canadian market / registered car. Cost to replicate would be massive, Asking $38K USD.
* Car was built from an exceptionally clean and original, local Vancouver car with approximately 43000 Miles on it at the time. Originally black, but painted Lamborghini Grigio Telesto after the first couple driving events (was WAAY too hot inside with the black paint, looked really mean though).
* Cage was built by Specialty Engineering along with wing upgrights to mount 996 GT3 Cup wing
* Second stock decklid without wing included (black), with hood pin catches already fitted. Easy swap.
* Doors have been opened up and removed standard glass / window regulators, have lexan windows for transport in open trailer.
* Seat mounting modified to floor on driver's side to lower seat position (Best for taller drivers)
* Includes one set of 'gutted' light assemblies and a set of working headlamps (with somewhat burned lenses)
* 996 Front bumper with lower spoiler
* GT3 Cup retractable tow hooks front and rear
* Factory aluminum hard top. Can be driven on track with top on or off.
* Jake Raby built 3.6 M96 engine based on a 3.2 Boxster S featuring full suite of LN / Flat 6 Innovations improvements. Cost of building the engine was $35K USD. Makes over 300hp with short runner Boxster S intake manifold, would make more if 996 3.4 intake manifold was used.
* LN engineering oil filter
* Oil Accumulator with both manual and electronic valves
* New clutch and flywheel installed (stock), will include AASCO single mass flywheel with approx 2 hours of use.
* Fabspeed rear exhaust and Dansk headers
* Air Conditioning still fitted and functioning (great if you plan to drive on the street at all, or when sitting in the pits at the track on a hot day!)
* Third radiator fitted
* WEVO SS engine and transmission mounts
* Tarett pulley kit installed
* Several wheel / tire sets available at additional cost. Vehicle comes with one set of 18" Wheels (choose either Fikse FM 10 black anodized or OZ Alleggerita HLT wheels) with new Hoosier R6 tires and one set of 17" original Boxster wheels with Hoosier rain tires.
* Moton Club Sport shock absorbers with H&R Race springs / tender spring package
* Mode rear upper shock mounts
* Tarett front upper shock mounts
* H&R sway bars front and rear
* GT3 lower control arms front and rear
* Tarett rear toe links with locking plates
* 996 Brake calipers front and rear (same as Boxster S, but black instead of red calipers).
* Goodridge brake hoses
* GT3 Cup front brake ducts
* Transmission in great order, has Quaife ATB differential installed. Early Boxster transmission had shorter ratios than later 5 speed versions.
* GT3 Shift console with Tarett console to raise shifter up to steering wheel
* OMP Steering wheel with quick dis-connect
* Recaro Profi SPG XL seat currently fitted, but could potentially swap to another seat better suited to new owner if required. On sliders.
* Schroth GT3 HANS harness fitted. Have tabs on cage to mount harnesses for both driver and passenger side
* Rennline track mat for driver floor.
* GT3 Euro seat in passenger side NOT included in purchase, and not available.
Let me know what questions you might have and I'll do my best to answer them.
