I’m 20 years old and just bought a 98 Boxster.... for the second time. My first one wasn’t in particularly good condition so I found another one. When you said “I need a Porsche in my life” I felt exactly what you were saying. I’ve always been a Toyota guy... and I still have my two other cars, but I had to go out and buy a Boxster just to have it. It’s like I was longing for the car.
Probably not the weather for it but you really need to drive through a decent set of corners to really appreciate a 986 Boxster. Provided the suspension is in good shape they are truly epic.
Fantastic review. I completely agree with you in regards to the 986 being “enough Porsche for me.” as much as I would love a 911, that 911 tax would also kick my a55. Again, what a fantastic portion 986 review brother.
I love my 986 Boxster S! At 23, it is the perfect first Porsche and it really was the bug bite! As long as I am in a position to have a Porsche, I will and I credit that to my gorgeous little 986!
Thanks for the brilliant review. I enjoyed the clear and clean footage, sweeping angles and the overall effort put into these. Keep em coming. "Any day you have a porsche on your schedule, it's a good day." 👍 Reason enough to at least test drive one, right?
good job bro i have a 2000 boxster 2.7 did the ims myself runs like a champ ok so since i love your video here's some words of advice from a 20yrs boxster owner yep had my boxster since 1999 new!! and i still have it!!! first if you guys are looking and wanna buy one of these go 1998 to 2000 those years had the double row ims bearing less than 2percent fail rate just change it out when u do the clutch easy. from 2001 to 2006 u have the single row bearing and those are the risky years if u see one in those years and u wanna buy it buy it but drive it strait to sombody that can help u change the ims bearing ASAP!!! then after that your gonna have a blast just get that done. they are ver very reliable. mine has 200k on her and mine can still spin the tires off the line. ok the crank in this car is bullet proof can handle anything lots of tourqe so the rod bearings ... do not use 0w40 or 5w anything use a synthetic 15w40 its perfect it wont thin out and it keeps the rod bearings in check lol thats all i use. trust me you dont wanna be racing a srt v8 and spin a bearing cuz the oil thinned out. and at that point your doin about 140mph right on that v8s bumper also switch out your water pump every 2 yrs even if it dosent need it do it! i have driven my car to florida from michigan 3 times in one month it didnt miss a beat never left me stranded. love my car. and they still turn heads not bad for a 21 year old car.
just find sombody or a shop that knows what they are doin. no dealer ... u cant do the job your self i had 2 people help me and they did most of the work.
Wiki dude..quit fukin around with the videos and concentrate on dieting and workin out....take care of your body,for IT" is the vehicle WHICH carries us around

Nice review but a few points, Boxer is the engine, BoxSter is the car. And the "4 cd player" below the radio is just a storage for 4 cd:s
I was today years old when I found out all that information. Thanks

Props to you for not cussing and keeping things simple yet thorough great video 👍🏻
I too got a pain in my chest until I purchased my 2002 Boxster S in Meridian Metallic...then it went away!

good job bro i have a 2000 boxster 2.7 did the ims myself runs like a champ
ok so since i love your video here's some words of advice from a 20yrs boxster owner
yep had my boxster since 1999 new!!
and i still have it!!!
first if you guys are looking and wanna buy one of these
go 1998 to 2000 those years had the double row ims bearing
less than 2percent fail rate
just change it out when u do the clutch easy.
from 2001 to 2006 u have the single row bearing
and those are the risky years
if u see one in those years and u wanna buy it
buy it
but drive it strait to sombody that can help u change the ims bearing ASAP!!!
then after that your gonna have a blast just get that done.
they are ver very reliable.
mine has 200k on her
and mine can still spin the tires off the line.
ok the crank in this car is bullet proof can handle anything lots of tourqe
so the rod bearings ...
do not use 0w40 or 5w anything
use a synthetic 15w40 its perfect it wont thin out and it keeps the rod bearings in check lol
thats all i use.
trust me you dont wanna be racing a srt v8 and spin a bearing cuz the oil thinned out.
and at that point your doin about 140mph right on that v8s bumper
also
switch out your water pump every 2 yrs even if it dosent need it do it!
i have driven my car to florida from michigan 3 times in one month
it didnt miss a beat
never left me stranded. love my car.
and they still turn heads
not bad for a 21 year old car.
What special tools do I need to do ims myself?
just find sombody or a shop that knows what they are doin.
no dealer ...
u cant do the job your self
i had 2 people help me and they did most of the work.
What makes the ‘98 different from a ‘97?
Nothing the same
Didn’t change till 2000
Great story
great video dude! I just got a 986 and totally love it.
The joke about the sharp pain really had me losing it. Bravo.
The four disc is storage not the player
Props for knowing H2 map I'm still playing it 😂
Very nice review again zac! Thanks!
Just found out my dad sold one of these 16 years ago for a ford cmax
how does the roof come off? Is it automatic or do you have take it manually off?
Nice one. Plus I ordered a front plate frame! Let them know that I saw on your video.
Boxster, Boxster, Boxster!
That’s not Zanzibar Red. It is Guards Red.
BoxSter, BoxSter, BoxSter!
Love it!
Good review on the car I own though!
Is this a good car for a college student and my budget limit is 5000 dollars
lol, the rendition of the car without the top
Zanzibar is a real place in Africa lol
How does this kid not know the difference between CD storage and a CD player
I think if someone is in the market for a boxster... At least make sure it’s a Boxster S.
Bro get the vex body kit for this car
