The |IMS Guardian has never gone off while I am driving. No false alarms or anything.
So it certainly gives me peace of mind. So many will question if it cost me close to a $1000 installed why not get a new IMS installed. Well I hate replacing stuff that does not need it and if I went and got the ims replaced then I would get the clutch replaced etc etc and that would be $3000 to $4000.
If I was going to keep this car for say another six years and money was no object I would certainly look at the ims and clutch replacement. I stay within my budget of $1500 to 2000 a year expenditure on it and that has worked so far for me. If you want cheap motoring the MX5 Miata is the way to go but then that is like comparing apples to oranges. I will never go back to a Miata.
I do my own oil changes and this way I can see if there is metal in the filter. So far none. If there is enough metal in the oil the IMS Guardian will do its job of detecting that metal. So far I am pleased.
