You should have done a better job of policing yourselves by locking these people on.

Raby-out.

Why do I feel like I missed an episode?

I must have missed something too. J_R is one of my favorite people to read here... short and to the point.
Not sure why he's packing up his toys and going home.

It's his own choice to make, just like CHANGING A WATER PUMP OR NOT.

Jake I think that you are an excellent designer,engineer and entrepreneur. Unfortunately PR is not your strength. Then hire somebody to take the heat here.
If the 1% give you problems then deal with it.

As the above says 99% of us enjoy your your presence here. Having the IMS Guardian installed in my Box gives me peace of mind. You are the leader in your field
and take some credit for it.
Cheers, Guy.

And thank goodness this forum exists all due I believe to Wayne Dempsey. Owning an old Boxster becomes more livable with the excellent members' opinions and help.
If it was not for this forum I would likely have sold my Box and bought a new Toyota Corolla or Subaru!

This forum makes owning an older Porsche a lot more fun. Thanks guys and girls. Everybody's opinions are welcome here. And don't forget the newbies. We were all newbies once.

In the 944 world it's pretty common practice to replace the waterpump every other timing / balance belt change, some do it every time. But on a 944 a seized waterpump can take out the timing belt and being an interference engine, bad things happen.

My only direct experience with a Boxster waterpump failure on a friends car was that it gave lots of warning - noise, then leaks. In that case I guess the bearing seal failed rather than the impeller.
