I am roughly the same dude (but asian) with same hobbies (childhood) and I now drive the 981 Boxster S (1st Porsche since Oct 2022). I appreciate the videos and also the wakeup calls. Great to see how you can "return to roots" and be true to yourself.

Hi Peter, love your excellent videos about your Boxster as well as your positive take on life. I also have a white 981 Boxster, and have done many mods over the two plus years that I have owned it. The rear light strip you installed looks fantastic on your car, so I just bought one and installed it. Excellent quality and fitment, it greatly updates the look of the rear of the car. I also had replaced the steering wheel with a modern 991 version purchased on eBay, again really updates the look and love the paddles versus the buttons for shifting the PDK. All the best from Bob in Florida!

Love this Peter, the C4S light bar is a favourite. Porsche is hard to improve, they do allot as standard. Way more than most manufacturers, forged slipper pistons etc, it already has race engine DNA. I think people are afraid to drift from manufacturers standards due to potential snobbish comments from others, which is a shame, I love personalising my cars in a tasteful way and feel everyone should do it. Be fearless and walk tall 😊

Hello Peter. I just found your channel and immediately subscribed. I made a deal for my first Boxster a a few months ago. The only other one I ever owned was a 924. It wasn't fast but it was fun and I was 24 in SoCal in the 80's. I have been able to spend a little time driving the Boxster and fell in love with it. A friend of mine has a 2008 Boxster. Not an "S". He bought it new I'm sorry I don't know all the model numbers. He has a very nice car collection It's low miles and has been in a climate controlled space and cared for. And then he kissed the guard rail driving it on an icy road. That was about 3 years ago. I was up his way last summer and stopped in. There it sat. Right in it's spot with all the dusty parts and panels to fix it. I don't do bondo. I told him I always wanted on of those and what was he going to do with it? So the dance began. He said "what will you give me for it"? I told him "I don't have any money how about a trade"? He said " whatcha got"? I threw some things out. "How about a big ambulance or a rough 54 Chevy 3600 or an older bobcat"? No bites, not even a nibble. So I went big with my 50 mph custom chassis golf cart. So I'm getting a Porsche. Your video inspired me and I called him to make arrangements next week to pick it up. I'll take the big trailer because I know he will fill it up with stuff. The only racing I do is drag racing. I'm building a 53 Chevy 1/2 ton with a 1200 hp blown nitrous straight 6 in it and a manual. Should run about 175 in the quarter. That really pi$$es the purist off. Sorry so long. Thank you for your time.

So far I’ve put high flow air filters and a Soul Performance cat back exhaust which greatly improves the car’s character with a deep burble breaking into the classic flat six howl at higher revs. I installed a Renn Psort phone holder. One great mod is a clear window between the seats where the mesh screen is. The mesh is really lame as it blocks rear visibility/ clarity and the clear lane, blocks more wind. Sun coast Oarts had a set of black 20” 718 wheels which I got on clearance so now I have summer tires on my silver Carrera S wheels and all season tires on the black wheels. The black wheels are very popular with the younger crowd but being an older guy I prefer the classic silver contrasting with the black paint color. I’ve thought of putting a gloss carbon duck bill spoiler on the trunk as the duck bill on the Spyder looks really sharp to my eyes but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Cheers and thanks for the content!

It's a pretty easy job. Just make sure you clean the surface well, you adjust the resting height of the spolier so it doesn't try to jam the LED strip, and that you tuck the taillight wires nicely out of the way when you re-insert it.

Hi Peter, Great video's. Ive just gone from a 981 BS to a 981 Spyder. I love both (my wife wants the Boxster back, but thats a different topic). I put GTS tail lights , 718 Steering wheel which is a significant improvement over the 981 gen wheel, and retrofitted PSE., which was the best £1800 i spent on any car. I also put the X-73 anti roll bars (a lot thicker) front and rear which really improved the handling. However, before i sold the Boxster i purchased the complete X-73 sport suspension kit which i never got round to fitting. However, the Spyder has it from factory and if you want to transform the feel and handling of your car to another level I would strongly recommend this. I was absolutely correct to have it on my Boxster upgrade list, and as you don't have PASM you could do the same. It also drops the car 20mm and Boxsters do sit a little high with a big gap from wheel to arch. Good luck buddy and keep the video's coming.

(ENGINE) K&N Intakes, Soul Titanium exhaust, Intakes and exhaust sound like a Gallardo. (INTERIOR) Carbon console, infotainment, Shifter. Door stripes. I added more body color to the interior gauges and vents like the porsche operations. Painted the brake calipers yellow to pop on the blue and black wheels.

Only mods, Red Seatbelts, @ $2k ridiculous but look the money and a new card for the info system that now supports Apple Car Play. It came to me on 20's with Michelins. Just put new Michelins on the back. The Pirelli's are supposed to be better for ultimate handling but wear quicker and worse ride.

Look at TWS T66-F wheels. Lightest forged wheels available new. Macpherson struts all around. They all need negative camber. Even for road use to work properly. The standard suspension is solid. High quality, stiffer, inverted monotube coilovers like Ohlins R&T are simply better in every aspect. Including ride quality. They require camber plates. And the car needs an LSD if it doesn't have one already. Falken RT660s have a very stiff sidewall & offers the best steering feel of any tire available. Solid steering rack bushings will help steering feel also 🍻🏎

I guess that's somewhat true of things like the Zunsport grills (why in the world are they not standard on Boxsters?), but I will never, natually be in a position to see this thing light up....hmmm...

Lol. Actually, you can see it each time you lock or unlock your car in low light (providing your lights are on auto). I always glance back at mine when I lock it before I close the garage. It looks gorgeous.

It’s funny that you’re talking about the ease of maintainance, mentioning the things that you really need to change very rarely, and not mentioning a things that you change often like air filter or spark plugs, changing which is much more complicated on Boxter/cayman than BMW. For me it looks pretty biased not mentioning such things

I don’t recall mentioning ‘ease of maintenance’. Where did I say that? In any case, Porsche does that - not me.

Yeah there's not much improvement needed to these cars. The one thing I'd consider on your car is swapping the steering wheel to one with paddle shifters. When I'm driving in higher performance mode I only use the paddles and they are intuitive and engaging and really enhance the driving experience. I'd still rather have a manual trans. but an injury precludes that so paddles with the PDK are the next best thing

@@peterfritzphoto I'll look forward to seeing it. You'll like the paddles. Not a monumental change but when you're getting into it, taking the engine to higher revs and cornering hard, it's very entertaining and you're a much bigger part of the process.

@@RobertSmith-bh5cv I wanted it more for the looks, but you make a good point. Did yours require an adapter, or was it just a straight bolt on? Also, did your original wheel have audio/phone etc. controls?

@@peterfritzphoto I drive it once every couple weeks or so and the main criteria is picking a route to allows me to see the far side of 170 mph. Not many drivers of the brand do this. The factory PCM records highest speed driven then purges it when you power down. 🤣🤣🤣 send a pic to the lads who drive sports cars with a middle finger emoji.

A dissenting voice here I’m afraid. As a general principle I think that any car that is modified to look like a newer and different model has its design integrity undermined by the introduction of such anachronistic elements. That’s why the intake guards work for me (as well as being functional) but the LED light strip doesn’t. And while I’m being picky and offering gratuitous personal opinions, I think that the EVE font is incompatible with the other badges: 3 different fonts on the car is a bit incoherent. Would it be better done perhaps in the Porsche proprietary font?

I totally understand, Stephen, and in most cases, I’m reluctant to steer too far away from the original design language. I’ve had ten Benzes in the past, and I was always adamant that any enhancement should be subtle. I hate it when people throw a late model grille with the gopping 3-pointed star in the middle on a 20-YO E-Class. Re the EVE font - that was intentional. While MAXIMUS on the MX-5 was done in the Mazda font, I chose the same font for EVE as used in the movie, WALL-E. I don’t have the Boxster script on my car, so it’s just the two fonts. Maybe you’re right, though. I might recreate EVE in the PORSCHE font and see how it looks. Thanks for dropping in, mate. 👍
