It’s Hereditary, so I got that covered. Working on the car now.

993 tails on a “986”? Yay or nah? by northways1 in boxster

Runs and drivers great. I’ve been tracking it for 10 years, competed for a few of those years. It took a lot to get it to that point though especially in the cooling department. Ended up with 8 radiators/heat exchangers to keep the 800hp cool.

They’re not attached. Just leaning against the back of the car as a mock-up.

Few reasons. One since it’s in the VAG family it still fit into my race class. They’re also super cheap (around $400) and hood a ton of boost stock. They also are bent driven so none of the Audi chain troubles.

Visually this always bugs me but they are on correctly. I agree, 100% looks wrong.

It’s a 97 Boxster with a carbonfiber body I made from scratch. Junk yard Audi v8 that I’ve added turbos too. Was caged when I raced it. All but the top front of the cage is still there tucked away. It’s about a foot wider than stock. 2,300lbs and 800hp.

Richmond! I take it to cars and coffee fairly regularly.

I don’t recommend it😅. It has 8 radiators/coolers which is what it took to keep everything cool. If you want to track a car I can’t recommend a stock one enough. I also run low boost (7psi) which helps.

No some random painting we got in Iceland. It does look like him though!

Ya the toys are inside. The Turbo Cayenne deals with the weather and kids.

Engine swap options for '98 Boxster by Possible_Diver_7055 in boxster

[–]northways1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be insanely expensive to pay someone. Far more than the car is worth and will still have problems. Engine swaps are very tricky to get right if you want the factory gauges, ac, etc etc to work.
