I have no plans of tracking it...just gonna enjoy the car for drives in twisty mountain road...

You'll love it! I would get it done along with the clutch (and get the new RMS too). Everything that can be done while the transmission is off saves $ down the road and having the IMS peace of mind is worth it IMO. Mine's a 99 that just passed 90k and I try to drive it as much as possible. Nothing like a warm day with the top down on a twisty road in a Boxster!
