I’ve been busy. I rebuilt the suspension where it was hit when the PO merged into his blind spot. I’ve done a couple other things as well. New intake plenum, oversized throttle body, side scoop, exhaust, ECU tune, upgraded sway bars, brakes, exhaust, etc. I’m running 1:50's at Laguna Seca. Just added a bunch of aero that I’ll be testing tomorrow. Hoping to get a couple more seconds off. Gonna run time trials with NASA this year in TT4. Getting a Dyno and log book on Jan 10th.
Pretty good use of $2500. Dunno how much total but big ticket stuff adds up to roughly $4k. Tune, rollbar, seats, exhaust, throttle body, etc, and not counting tires and brakes.
It’s a 2002 with a 2.7 which is not 2.7 and means no spec Boxster build as it doesn’t fit the class. 114k on the clock. Zero oil loss. Upgraded IMS. Probably 12 track days this year while building it out and not a single issue aside from me breaking the battery mount and negative battery lead after upgrading my tires

Thank you. It’s a wrap from 3M. Th e previous owner put it on and I have to say, while the wrap was a discontinued color and I couldn’t find a perfect match, covering up my horrible excuse for body work could not have been easier. I tried to show the repair in the pics. The passenger door doesn’t open. All of that you’re looking at is basically Bondo with vinyl over it. NASA rulebook: must appear straight and undamaged at 50' at 50 mph. Boom.

I’ve already decided if I found I cheap 12 lb spec Boxster roof I would pass on it as I like being able to put the top down and cruise home along the coast after a fun day at the track. Whatever that amount of build works out. This might be about it. I don't really want to lose the stereo either. Also, if I'm too light I won't fit into TT4 and any chance of coming in the top 5-6 disappears. Don't know how much I weigh exactly yet. Two weeks I'll know.

Damn that’s cool. As an MR2 owner this is one of those few cars that is a logical next step. Great, cheap-ish track car.
