Our Favorite Porsches On eBay This Week
Future Barn Finds
We've been compiling the best Porsche models on eBay for almost a year now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing cars pop up now and again. There is some great new stuff every two weeks, so check back often. We've tracked down five more exciting Porsches for you nice people to purchase today, including a very low mile 911 Speedster, a bright orange Boxster, a couple of special 996s, and a 997 GT3. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

Project Boxster Clubsport: Part 8 - Installing A Short Shift Kit
Short Shift Kit
When we bought our Boxster the intent was to turn it into a lightweight "clubsport" version for track and autocross.  To do that, we needed to strip weight in an effort to increase our overall power to weight ratio.  Our first few posts focused on cleaning up the looks of our Boxster (afterall we're still driving it around), but now we've completed a GT3 style center console delete in an effort to save weight and last month we lost another 38 lbs through a simple battery swap. Now we're starting to focus on performance and this month we're installing a short shift kit for better throws.
