New-to-me 2000 Boxster S (What to do first?)

[Chuck W.]

As usual, all great advice. As far as the exhaust I can recommend FD Motorsports. FD Motorsports » Fister Exhaust – Boxster They modified my prior 993 exhaust and the Boxster's. Nice tone and no droning at an RPM or speed. The droning is a major issue with many after market exhaust.

Agreed. FD for exhaust.

I will chip in here as I have had the IMS Guardian installed for 2 years now. No warnings or any problem yet. I test it before I start each time. To me it is worth it as I don't worry about the IMS anymore.

I change the oil every 5k miles with Mobil 1 synthetic and check for metal in the filter.
I pay attention to changing fluids frequently - Porsche antifreeze etc. Will change brake fluid this spring. Enjoy your car. Drive it safely. Life is for living!

That sounds amazing and exactly what I'm looking for. I'll probably live with it stock for a little while just to make sure I need to make a change.

Its owned and operated by 2 former porsche mechanics that started their own company. They have done all the work on my boxster including a clutch/flywheel/IMS/RMS service. I highly recommend them. Call them and ask for james lee great guy.

I will try and just stop in there this week just to check things out. I'm in Tustin so their shop isn't too far at all. They have all perfect reviews on Yelp except for one guy (there's always one...lol).

Cool. Let me know what you think. Even though you already purchased the car ask them to do a pre purchase inspection and they will give you a great idea of what condition the car is really in. Tell them mike with the silver boxster sent you.
