Boxster Issues
Boxster Coolant Tank Issue – Diagnosis and Repair, great write-up!
Boxster 986 Engine/Seal Failure Survey – The results of the survey are available on the second page of this post through a link. As I suspected, numbers are not nearly as high as internet folklore would suggest. Furthermore, there’s thousands of owners who never even participate in online communities to comment on their experience.
Boxster Videos
Boxster Bypass Valve Videos on YouTube – The inexpensive way to make your Boxster sound meaner. Not diggin it myself…
Boxster S on the ‘Ring – Camera mounted to Boxster shoots backwards at Impreza chase car.
Railing on a 2000 Boxster S – Couple of dude’s doing 140mph+ in a Boxster S.
Boxster S Drive – Poor video quality, but good sound from cockpit and outside. And no terrible music overlayed to drown out the car — until the very end, some brutal Don Henley… But worth a watch nonetheless.

I have a 2008 Boxster Limited edition #43. I’ve thought it would be fun and interesting where they all are – there’s only 250.
