Nice video. I've made some similar mods to my Polo that you might find useful too: Reduce weight by removing spare change, unused cds and half finished drinks containers. I have also removed heavy documentation, sunglasses and my driving gloves. Foil over the radiator grill to smooth out the aerodynamics. I have used cling film for the headlights. Tuck in wing mirrors to reduce drag. I have also snipped off the aerial. Concentrate on performance when driving downhill. Skip lunch, and make sure all waters, and especially, solids have been passed before driving. Hold your breath when accelerating. Hope some of these work for you and your subscribers.

I have a 99 boxster with a manual transmission. Owned it for about 4 years. Some of the original parts that needed replacement were alternator, AOS, coolant tank, worn out shocks, rotors and brake pads, and small electrical repairs over the last 3 years since I have owned it. Probably spent about $5k over the 3 years but the car is one of the best cars I have owned. It also has a hard top so I use it come the rainy season in South Florida.

i own a 1998 boxster since new. has 22k miles on it. bought a pretty basic car knowing i was going to keep it a long time and didn't want too many extras to go wrong. great car. everything i can expect from a porsche. fast, smooth, comfortable. had to invest bout 1500$ over the years for unexpected repairs - electrical problem was the biggest (windows would not go up; a relay in the seat belt caused a trouble light - and had to buy parts from dealer. i use a battery trickle charger so i am on the third battery - original plus 2. amazingly, second set of tires. first lasted 6,000 then put the finest michelins on and good to go. just love the car. obviously driven only in nice weather. have haggerty insurance which is about 75% less than regular and full coverage.

@@MarkHamilton70 the reason I say that is my Boxster came with an after market stainless muffler that at 60 miles an hour the drone was deafening. I under stand that some people will like to get a better exhaust note but I had to replace the offending droning muffler. Fortunately i was able to buy a used OEM muffler that some one had removed and replaced with an after market muffler. Who knows it might have been the original one from my car. Anyways if you need to replace a muffler yourself I recommend that you pull the rear plastic bumper off to access the muffler, you can do it without removing the bumper but it is a whole lot harder. I believe that is just a few clips that hold it on, I am about to find out as I need to pull the front bumper to clean the leaves out of the radiators.

Porsche also made the M96 engine that experienced IMS bearing failure and subsequent destruction of the engines that costs somewhere around $20,000 to replace. They made lifter oil ports that were too small and are prone to clogging? How about all alluminium cylinder blocks on the M97 engines that could not take the wear of the piston regardless of driving style, oil condition, etc and that costs around $25,000 to replace the engine?
