Roock boxster rsb 340

Thanks a lot Johnny, That is very close to what I was told. All I can tell you is this car really is something . I put 400 miles on it since saturday , I can not stop driving it. I have owned 944s , E30 M3 , boosted Evo and boxsters . None of those were nearly as sorted as this car is. I know that it is going to be a bit quirky at times but that is something that comes along with a car of this type. this car will be driven the way it was meant to be.

"You mean to tell me every engine from this era is going to fail?"

No, but I hope mine doesn't before I get the LN updated IMS bearing installed.

Enjoy the car and keep us updated.

You folks need to be careful concerning the "IMS failure" hyperbole on this board. There are users on this board that make a living woking on porsche's and selling aftermarket parts. And I have seen postings where some people claimed IMS failure in a post but have never posted again. It is easy in this day and age to "create" a market of fear then serve the needs of that market.

I am making no claims (for or against). I am just saying be careful.

I am not into fear, but reality. A friend's 2000 2.7 imploded after just 10 hours of DE and AX events...IMS bearing failure. Car around 50k miles on the clock and was well taken care of, though it was filled with Mobil 1 0W40. He has purchased a used engine and is having all the current LN updates done before installation.

I have been a PCA instructor in the Chicago region for the last 10 years or so. We have a fair number of Boxsters and Caymans attending our events and not every one of them implodes.

It won't happen to everyone's car, but it does happen (on rare occasion)...just hope it isn't yours.
