97-99 is pure, raw, no frills boxster (base model). And they have the dual row ims which was more robust than years 2000-2005. My 99 loves to rev and be tossed around. 125k plus miles and no problem. Original IMS. 2000-2005 boxsters went to the smaller single row IMS and these are more prone to failure. Research online. Best years are 2007-2008. Less IMS failures. Of course 2009 and up they eliminated the IMS all together.
