Here’s my story, I’m sticking to it..
 
I’ve been a motorcycle rider all my life and have put many miles on Honda’s and HD’s. I’m at a point where I can no longer tour across the country due to health issues and decided to let my 2005 Goldwing go and replace it with a 2002 Boxster base model. I figured what the heck, I can still go fast and feel the wind! My 986 is far from pristine so I’m calling it my “restoration” project :) The previous owner stated IMS work was done whatever the details are I will know next week when I get the service records from the shop. For now, I’m having a blast with my dangling rearview mirror and scratched up paint job. I still got the wind!

Be cool fellas!

Very nice car, welcome. Nothing beats one with a few issues to "restore." Happy motoring.

Congrats on the Boxster. I ride too and the Boxster definitely gives you some of the same that a motorcycle does.

On the IMS does the cars have this sticker? That is one of knowing it was done.

Welcome!!!

Pretty new to this form myself but have been modifying my 01 boxster 2.7 for about 2 years since I purchased it.

Nice tip! I'm such a newbie I can't tell where that label is located! I guess I should be more clear. When I said "restoration", I meant somebody else doing the work. LOL!

Thank you and ride safe!

Jake/owners of retrofitted boxsters from certified shops can confirm but that sticker should be in the drivers side door jam.

Mine is on the inside of the trunk lid next to the emissions diagram. Can't say why it's there

I checked both locations and no luck. Thanks again!
