Question for Jake re Aussie installer - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

January would probably be best.. I have scheduled M96 engine assembly classes in November, December and February..

I'd think we can find 4 more pretty easily in the next few months..

OK January is fine for me. Hopefully Steve will read this soon....

OK guys, sorry for the delay. I have just spoken to the Finance Minister (I'm married to) & got the OK for the upgrade by Jake.
Anytime would be fine for me - I can work around the dates but need to know which major city the revamp is going to take place......
Jake / Pinerelloman, I don't know if we have to use this forum for the (finer) details of the potential upgrades, but the ball is in your courts. You can contact me via a PM anytime you have a few minutes to spare.

I need to find a shop with a lift... Anyone have any connections?

Any chance of renting some shop space from your buddy? Can you give us the approximate location of his business?

He is currently working for Pratt and Whitney on turbine engines without a shop to work from..
He is looking for an appropriate shop for me, it will be somewhere in Queensland.

Jake,
Is there any chance of this happening in January next year?
The reason I ask is that I am currently looking at having it done by a local Porsche specialist who uses the LN Engineering IMS retrofit.
If you look like coming then I will wait.
The part that scares me is they quoted me $25000 AUD for a Porsche reconditioned engine if mine lets go.....plus remove & install.
