Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

The Boxster also checked another box on the list as it is my first MR car, I understand to the point that I've asked myself whether or not I should sell all of my cars for a newer Boxster.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Name is Nick, 40 yo, just made the decision on a 1998 Boxster (2.5) vs. buying a new Miata. I got it 2 weeks ago from an older enthusiast. I've been lurking around learning about rebuilding the suspension on this car. This Porsche is going to be a daily, prior to me the clutch and IMS were done along with timing chain at 112k, has 126k now. Runs well, isn't cosmetically perfect and that's okay. The Boxster also checked another box on the list as it is my first MR car, I understand to the point that I've asked myself whether or not I should sell all of my cars for a newer Boxster. Do I seek more power in a balanced car, or more balance in the power car? The stablemates are; 1998 Integra GS-R, 02 Civic Si, and a 16 Mustang GT PP on e85 with a good set of matched road dampers and springs, all manuals. I don't have a picture on this device and my phone still has buttons, and a low res camera. PEACE!
