Porsche Boxster...
In 2003 I decided to build something completely different and turn my attention to building a Porsche Boxster to use for stage rallying. The car was completed in 2005 and since then has successfully completed 28 events without any problems.
The bodyshell required little alteration but was fitted with a comprehensive rollcage that we designed and fabricated
The car uses a 3.4 litre Porsche 996 engine fitted with our own 6 throttle body injection system and dta ecu. The car uses a standard gearbox but is fitted with a lsd and a light weight fly wheel and a twin plate competition clutch is fitted.
The suspension uses a standard Boxster geometry, but this is all fabricated in steel which gives the durability required for rallying. The fabricated steel parts actually weigh less than the original aluminium components.
Proflex have designed and supplied adjustable damper units for the car which incorporate roller sliders and give an extra 50mm of suspension travel.
The bodyshell and all the standard Porsche parts were supplied by Prestige salvage of Leeds and I am very grateful for the technical information and help that I have received from Strasse Porsche specialists in Leeds.
