Also, you didn't mention living in it on the BRB. Since that appears to be the case, at least for a short time. I've been living in mine for a little over a year. It's pretty decent. I do not have...

I'd always just assumed that these were the intended uses of the yellow band. Hadn't really thought it would be good for much else, since like Mark I don't really look at the steering wheel much...

I actually went pretty hardcore and got the "Track Only" with I believe a 40/80 split. I can't remember the price, sorry. If I have time, and remember I'll take a look in my stack of reciepts and see...

What are the odds that this new HP gain is in response to the new M Roadster and M Coupe? As soon as I read about BMW's new edition of the Z4, and their stated goal of taking on the 911 and Boxster S...

J-RAD is correct, no US Boxster ever came with an LSD. You can get them aftermarket from Guard or Quaife, but not from the factory.

Guard makes them for the S, and Quaife for the non-S. I have the...

Not sure how far out of you way these guys would be, but they built Michael Lansky's race car and therefore know a thing or two about Boxster''s.

Bro, I guess he finally got a chance to break yours down. Not sure what he's going to do with it now. I'm considering a lot of options at the moment. So we'll see.

OK, well semantics as the point was that a Range 2 is over redline, 7201 and over in my case. The ONLY way to get there with a revlimiter is to screw up a down shift (i.e. missed shift). Wether it's...

Range 1 is "close to redline". Can't remember how close though. Redline is 7200, so I figure that's between 7000 and 7200.
