Holy sht.

Gonna have to consider getting out of the Boxster sooner than planned if they're already falling into the hands of the chavistas. Not six hours ago did I see the first chavtastic TT and now we have this abomination.



Note the geezer on the right desperately trying to get off camera before being associated with that heap of tat.

There is no doubt a lot of work gone into it but I would only ever consider it as an option if the other choice was Aids.

You purchased a poor mans porsche what do you expect, I see chavs in these everyday aviator sunglasses and try hard haircuts etc.

why would you waste your money on a boxter in the first place pfff

How boring are you?

...stuff...

You did ask for comments...

It's obvious a lot of work went into it, but that doesn't necessarily make it a worthy achievement. The pyramids took a lot of effort, but they're not all that useful. Worthy? Hmmm. Then again, the same folks that built those gave us the alphabet which changed the world. Now that was a worthy achievement.

I'm well aware how much work is needed (I've spent around 900 hours doing mine). Mine's just a hobby, and it's what I want, so I'm not too concerned if nobody else likes it. Even so, I drafted in a professional designer to restyle it, so I wouldn't end up with a complete turkey. If I ever decided to put it into production, I would at least do my market research at the design stage.

If you've got the time, money and motivation to create a car like that, then why not create something original rather than another inaccurate replica?

once again i find myself talking to people who have an opinion all be it to sg off someone else's work,i thought this forum was for people who appreciate hard work and good paint jobs etc but to say some ones car is sh*t is just taking the P*ss if your cars are so good lets see them, lets see your pride and joy,
Again you wont see me acting like a school boy saying oh thats Sh*t, but if i dont like something i think the polite thing to say is sorry mate dont like that because!!!!
and that was the reason for coming on a forum about fast cars(and mine is and will be faster).
But if you like sgging other peoples work then carry on.
Remember one mans meat is anothers poison,
thanks again for comments good or bad!!

Out of interest, is the supercharger available for the standard Boxster without all bdised bodywork? What kind of power does it produce?

[dan101smith]

To me the Boxster/CGT is too far wide of the mark in terms of looks. It obviously isn't a CGT, but you're trying to pretend it is. That is YOUR fault for badging it as one, and you have to expect some stick for that.

You may have managed the highest quality paintjob ever known to man on that car, but personally I really don't like the colour, and unfortunately you've wasted it on a poor quality "replica".

But, if you like it and you can find other people who like it enough to pay for it, then good on you. I genuinely think it is an abomination though.

Now, more details on the Lambo please.

Well lets be serious here, what did you honestly expect to hear coming to PH.

I havn't been here that long, but I could have predicted these replies a mile off.

Exaclty!

Guys I know the car isnt to everyones taste and i presume the orange GT (first page) is this guys work which although isnt truely faithful (being kind) looks like alot of work has gone in and is at least of good quality!

Im quite ashamed tbh. People on here who profess to be of a higher being and never lower themselves to chav like behaivour then acting childish and slating a mans work?

The guy hasnt turned this thread into whatits become its the PH contributers.. I just cant help thinking this is the way of PH now, and is nothing better than the P&P forum...

Where did all the polite people go?

Ok, youve obviously invested time and money into this but aren't getting the sort of responce from posters you wanted.
Fortunately PH is not just about fast cars, though there are a large number of supercar owners on here, its also about appreciating cars as designed and subtle changes to improve them. Sticking a supercharger on is one thing, but 200lbs of fibreglass is indeed best kept in the Max Power brigade.

I have to remark about your "acting like a schoolboy" - you turn round in the same line saying "my car will be faster than yours".... Hmmmm

Would you be so kind as to add the mods youve done to improve the suspension,brakes etc over the original worn parts of the doner car?
As a general rule of thumb, you make the car stop well before you make it go faster. Painting brake callipers doesnt count either...

Do you know what this bloody saying "what did you think was going to happen its PH" is hacking me off!!! WHAT THE F!

Yes we havent liked chavs in obviously dangrous shopping karts but we are all suppose to be enthusiats enjoying array of different types of car and we all should be grown up enough to take a step back and appricate someones hard graft?

the suspension is standard porsche i mean that in the lightest sence it has huge vented discs and callipers as standard,mine also has the porsche stability management system.so no need to improve, if you wish for more details checkout a porsche site for full spec on 3.2s facelift model.
and i did not say faster than yours just faster than it is now!!
as for 200lb of fibre glass, surley lotus and tvr thought it was ok and of course the strength quality of fibre glass is what they line planes with???
the real Gt is made of carbon fibre(form of glass work)
and why worn does not a car become worn as soon as you take it out of the showroom!! all cars are worn its all down to service and repair or replace.
thanks again for the comments.if you look at a real gt they all have painted callipers??
just didnt get round to colour coding to purple yet.still in standard porsche red.

it also doesnt cost £300,000.

No, doesn't fking look like it either. Might I suggest the next one you do is an Audi A4 1.9 TDi badged up as an RS4? And then have a start on the 335d (remapped) turning that into an M3? On the plus side, you've made me discover something. I didn't think it was possible to hate the Boxter any more than I did, but you've shown me the error of my ways!

Real Gt = carbon fibre. Yup, thats where the similarity ends, its nothing like fibreglass. I know a little about it, worked at Lola for a bit in their composite shop... You dont need an Autoclave to make fibreglass panels.
Im not saying the car is "worn", just if youve stuck a charger on it then the least you should do is look at the suspension and brakes.
Regardless of how good the original car is, with another 100 or so bhp (I guess) they'll be on their limit. You wouldnt want to be on the end of a court case where somone ran out of brakes on a track day now would you.....

well the set i believe is simalar to the 911 turbo i am sure some one on here will tell me different,
and the guy who supplies the charger says there are no need for engine mods just remaping,he says engine is bullit proof, and remember the porsche boxster 3.2 is good for 165mph anyway!!!check out stats.
