BOXSTER HAUS

November 2025 (selection)

2001 Porsche Boxster S (986) Engine 3.2
6-Speed, owned by Dragan K. Currently 149,000K

Brief: Preparing for sale.

This was a Boxster we previously sold to a mate in Melbourne. Dragan’s situation changed temporarily, and he asked Julian and me if we could sell it (which we had stored here for several months). It was effectively sold within 24 hours, attracting interest from all over Australia. Most likely, we could have sold five of them!
Our brief is to roadworthy the Boxster, price suspension upgrades (Bilsteins) for a new local Sunshine Coast owner.

1998 Porsche 911 (996) Engine 3.4
Tiptronic. Owner Joshua O. 80,000k

Brief: CV Shaft & Brakes

Joshua’s 996 was back. A lovely car, so well preserved by its previous owners in Hong Kong. Very straight body and superb paintwork. Mechanically, issues noted during an earlier visit at Boxster Haus included brakes, pads & sensors, and a CV rebuild. Other issues were faulty wheel bearings (front) and worn ABS wiring harness (rear), a common problem on Boxsters & 996/997 models over 20 years old.

2004 Porsche Boxster (986) Engine 2.7
5 Speed Owner Kieren G. 73,000k

Brief: Air Conditioning

Summer is here! Time for an air conditioning refresh for Kieren’s lovely Boxster. The Porsche required two new condensers, a dryer (filters), and new refrigerant. The old filter had broken down, clogging up pipes, nasty. It appears the air conditioning has not been working for many years. The compressor was old, albeit serviceable. Kieren rarely has the top up, 99% open-air motoring. Still, it is nice to feel some cool air from the vents!

1974 Porsche 911S Engine 2.7
5 Speed. Owner Simon A. 140,000k LHD

Brief: Engine out, replace with 3.0L. serious wiring

Long-term project. Simon’s 911 will be featured under the ‘Classic 911 Projects’ pages, coming soon! A dedicated owner, car enthusiast, and a regular at Boxster Haus! The scope grew from starting the 911 to an engine bay rewire, an MSD Ignition Unit install, to a 2.7 Engine removal and 3.0 replacement—a fascinating project. Simon prefers that the Porsche remain LHD, preserving its original purity as an investment, a wise move.

2003 Porsche Boxster (986) Engine 2.7
5 Speed, Owner Boxster Haus. 121,000k

Brief: Recommission.

A Boxster Haus Porsche, a genuine barn find, located in our backyard of Tanawha. Has been sitting in a shed for 8 years (on a 50-acre property). Owned by a true gentleman, now in our care and tasked with recommissioning to a high standard. We advertised at a very reasonable price ($21k) and a roadmap—over 30 enquiries in 48 hours, from all over Australia. Our preference is for the Boxster to remain on the Sunshine Coast. A local Noosa gentleman purchased first first-time Porsche. Very exciting. The refresh is coming along nicely. So striking in red!
