My slow 986 Porsche Build Thread.

[jbginger]

So looking forward to seeing this build, such a beautiful car.

The turbo bumper is atleast different around the headlights idk otherwise. I'd guess turbo/996.2 headlights would be all that needs changed. I'd check what the dimensions people who track their cars are running. I know the car is capable of a lot of wheel and tire in the rear. I think my friend with a track prepped 987 has 911 turbo dimension turbo twists with maybe 285s on them. I wouldn't doubt a 12 or 12.5 is feasible in the rear with a stretched tire

Yeah that's what I'm trying to figure out, I'm running 265's right now and still have plenty of room. It's just hard to find out specs when nobody runs wheels much over 10" on a boxster, and none with poke really. I don't want to order custom wheels and not have the specs I have in my head! Haha

Think its killer you got your dream car, cant be ****** on a Porsche! Keen to see it low and rollin of BBS

Thanks man! Although a lapis blue 996 turbo is my dream car, I've wanted a porsche my whole life so finally having one is a treat! Here's how it sits on the OEM BBS wheels. Coils will be here in a few weeks!

996 gt3 ftw. Subtle and sporty.

I would like it more if It didn't have the vent below the hood. Do you know if the 996 turbo bumper fits at all? And I'm actually planning to go with the D11L, I just need to figure out specs which worries me as I haven't seen any aggressive fitted boxsters really, I want rear poke and flush in the front.

You should do the GT3 front-bumper mod



You'd be 1/2 way into a 996/7

please no

those look so horrible...

Anywho I can't wait to see this. i miss my 986 boxster it was a blast to drive it was white with navy top and interior and had the 10 spokes BBS's on it. I think CCW D110's would look great and very oem+

To the guy that posted the GT3 bumper, I can't thank you enough, I've been looking for a bumper/lip setup that's not too crazy and rounded looking and I've now found it!

Don't thank me to quickly as is going to cost you a pretty penny to do the conversion, but we'll worth it IMHO. Lol

[Resslerbmx]

Awesome...I can't wait to see how this goes. 986s tempt me from time to time and I know the potential is there.

If you have the chance man I'd jump in one. I was skeptical as i thought it'd be a let down compared to a 911, but I honestly love it. The handling is out of this world, and the beautiful sound of the flat six puts a smile on my face everyday!

You literally post nothing positive on this forum. Get out because you're everything wrong with a person. Why don't you contribute something to S|W and then talk shit about everyone else's cars? You probably drive a shit box, talk shit on the internet, while this kid has a fucking a porsche haha

I like your porsche OP. Good luck with your build plans. Coils and CCWs will look rad, and congrats on having such a baller car at such a young age.

Thanks for telling the guy off! Haha, I get it's not every bodies cup of tea, but that's what makes the car game great, seeing things done out of the ordinary. Thanks for the kind words as well, I work myself to death 60+ hours a week to have this car and a house at my age but it's one of the best feelings! Many more posts to come buddy

You wanted a 911 so you got a hairdresser's car?

I would get the RMS/IMS retrofit done before spending all your cash on style points.
