Fantastic effort. How many entered and what kind of models were you up against 

24 cars in total split in to 3 classes, 986/987 boxster s and cayman s, 997 and a 944 

Car ran faultless all weekend with me qualifying 3rd in class, finishing p5 in race one and sadly a dnf in race to due to me spinning and ending up beached in the gravel whilst chasing down 3rd with 2 laps left 😩 but hey ho not bad for a first timer 🤷‍♂️

After a failed test at Blyton park due to the clutch slave cylinder giving up it was straight in to its and my first ever race meeting at Oulton park

Took the boxster for its first shake down on the local industrial estate today with trade plates on, happy to report all good 👌🏻

Do those Suspension mods fit/work on a 987 Boxter s?

Think they may have to be 997 gt3 coffin arms and roll bar tbh to fit 987, I can find out though if your seriously thinking about it 

95% done now just got the wiring on the electrical cut off to finish and the rain light to fit then it’s off to shake it down and test it 😀🏁🚗

Ride height corner weight and alignment also all done 1350 kilos with driver as per regulations

Seeing things like this makes me wonder why I I bother with building trade good work mate 

Thanks mate, it’s sometimes a pain in the arse but getting to do projects like this make it all worth while 😀 best bit is I get to race it in the championship too !

Interior is nearly done, sparco Rev 3 seat, 6 point omp harness, sparco steering wheel with bg quick release, gt3 cup car short shifter, omp plumbed extinguisher system 

Engine and box fitted 💪🏻, interior and cage painted in satin black technogrip. Also managed to start reassembling the exterior

Sports option valvetronic exhaust acquired and fitted with actuator flaps welded open 😀

Freshly rebuilt 3.2 s 😝 brand new factory built short motor with skimmed rebuilt heads 

It sits so good 🥰

the rear will sit lower as there’s no engine and gearbox in it at the moment 

Suspension and brakes have had a complete component/ nut and bolt replacement with all new parts 👌🏻. Brakes are standard brembo 4 pots all round with factory 3.2 s disks And pagid rs enduro pads all round with goodridge braided flexors. Suspension mods are JRZ adjustable dampers with eibach main and helper springs, gt3 adjustable from coffin arms, adjustable gt3 front roll bar with adjustable drop links, 5mm spacers with lengthened wheel bolts 

First up was to strip the car to almost a shell, car was painted in liquid silver. The engine rebuild was outsourced to Porsche race specialist unique Porsche. Then in went the cage from custom cages 😀

Hard top still needs painting just mocking up for fitment 😀

Thought I’d share the latest project at work that’s been going on since February time. My workplace is an approved Porsche repair shop that repair/restore/build road and race cars (mainly Porsche but other stuff too). So Porsche GB approached us about building a 986 boxster s to compete in this years boxster cup ! As we’ve already help build 3 of them already for the local Porsche dealerships I got straight to it.

Sorted fella I got one thanks though 🙏

Hahaha brilliant mate. Yeah I was thinking they're so soft you wouldnt need to tug it. My scooby rear end popped out with a block of wood and sledgehammer. Soft like paper these jap cars. Just seen the turbo setup looks noice.

Cheers man !

Hi, have you forged the internals or just stock.

No all stock internals and no plans to forge it atm, kind of a budget turbo conversion will be good to run half a bar of boost on a stock motor

Parts I'm after any help much appreciated 

-Silver passenger door no rust any colour if condition is right 

-Decals  

-Scuttle panel below window 

-Possible front Amber indicators 

-Performance air filter 

-and by some absolute miracle a tte backbox 

More parts to follow after MOT its got a really bad clunking while moving on full lock any ideas? 

 

 

 

Amazing story, glad your restoring it, clunking on full lock will be cv joint in the driveshaft, would be easier to just change the driveshaft from a breaker, I’ve got some amber lenses dm me a postal address and I’ll fire them over to u foc of course. Any other questions just ask always happy to help a fellow 1ao sr owner 😀

Sure I’ve seen this for sale on eBay, project abandoned?

Just waiting on a few more bits then it’s off to td for mapping 😀 rebuilt ct9 will run hks adjustable actuator and short route hot pipe with a td decat on a glanza centre pipe to a tte backbox @ 0.6 bar of boost 😀
