Spec Boxster build is DONE @ 1:30pm Sunday!
We've been busting the car around the back streets....all I can say is.....WOW! The car looks good and the handling is neutral. Brad remembered talking recently to a Porsche technician who had come up with a way to access the struts without taking the entire suspension assembly apart. We were able to have the fronts swapped in a little over an hour and the whole car swapped in 3 hours. It took fiddling with the ride height to get it dialed in for about another hour or so, but after that it was back together. All I can say is: THANK YOU to the Spec Boxster build team: McMark SirAndy Brad Dan (Almaden Valley) Randal Special Guest Ken J. from the Boxster Racing Board (unofficial photographer) Pics to follow..... Bill P. P.S. This was an amazing learning experience. The adjustability of the components allows for some pretty sophisticated setups if we choose to do so. The amount of work done from 9am Saturday through 1:30pm Sunday was fantastic. This would have been a very long car build at a race shop. We did it in 28 hours. |
