A friend bought a new Boxster S (987) and had it sent to Ruf in Dallas for a Carrera S engine swap with the powerkit, some suspension tweaking, Ruf wheels, etc. I think there was an article about it several months back in Excellence. He didn't have anything negative to say about the experience, and owning one of those things definitely puts you into a special crowd. It wasn't cheap. I drove it and observed it was like driving 80% of a Carrera GT for 20% of the price. A very fast, well behaved daily driver that will blow away just about anything on the road, exotic or not. If you figure Ruf has a lot more experience with Carreras than Boxsters, you can draw your own conclusion about satisfaction. Geoff, Thanks so much for your reply. I am actually going for it, my car ships next week to Dallas....and I am pretty excited. I am also doing some suspesion upgrades too, so rounding things out to about $30K total. As far as the "look" of my car, it is going to stick with its 19" Classics all the way around, and no body kit upgrades either...I want 'er to look stock. I will post here again when I get it back.

I have a C2, and am considering shipping my car to Dallas......for about $26K the RUF Auto Centre promises 80-100 increase in HP. Anyone looked into this? A Co-worker owns two RUF vehicles...and they are amazing, snarling beasts of driving perfection.... JH

Hi PTEC, and thanks for the reply. There are a bunch of acroynyms that you use in your reply, which I don't understand...but I suppose a dealer technician will. I believe the wheel I am interested in, does come with a wiring harness....but I will check to be sure. I am worried about having to buy a new steering column control unitl...I wonder if it is expensive.... Thanks!!

I just took delivery of my C2, and I absolutely adore it. It is my first Porsche, EVER, and I am in love...forever. I do not have any radio or nav controls on the steering wheel itself, and REALLY want to change this. I have seen some multifunction steering wheels on eBay being sold, or may even bite the bullet and buy a factory part.... My question is: Is my steering column wired up for this already? Are there wires just tucked in the steering wheel mount to plug in? Or does the steering column need to have the wires run from the center console? Thanks to all for any effort in answering... H
