2002 boxster S 986. FSH, 79,000miles. I have owned the car for around 7 months and have covered arouynd 2,500miles in it.

***Touch Wood*** No sign of IMS failure and nothing in the history about it.

*Clutch/dual mass flywheel/RMS replaced at 25,000miles in 2007*

Just changed engine oil and filter, no suspect particles found in the filter (after cutting it apart with a saw and laying it out on some paper). Had plenty of trouble with other aspects of the car though! MAF sensor, rear wheel bearing, front lower arm ball joint, rear fork control arms. The starter motor squeals but only rarely. Lovely car to drive, especially with the roof down. handling is sensational!
