I must say, $1600 is a pretty attractive price. Most of the quotes that I've been given have been around $2200-2300 . Also, Musante has an excellent reputation to boot .

Just the bearing and RMS? You don't want to replace the clutch and flywheel?

Oh forgive me, I sometimes forget that some on this forum just wash and wax their Boxsters. I put 19k miles on my Boxster in the last six months, how do you restrain yourself from jumping into your Porsche and tearing-up the streets??

I just like ogling it in the garage ! Seriously, though, as of the last 2 years or so, my permanent residence has been in a very rural area of Massachusetts . So rural, that the road that I live on is the most god forsaken unmaintained 1 1/2 mile stretch that you've ever seen. For that reason, I was unable to drive it for the last year or so. Fortunately, last summer I was able to find a garage that was close-by that I could rent . This season I hope to drive the Dangermobile all the way to California with flowers in my hair .

Now that will be a road trip! I will have a cold beer (or drink of choice) waiting for you when you get here.

I feel fortunate not to have seasons here in Southern California, in fact I was running the Air Conditioning in the Boxster yesterday (mid 70's). I really enjoy driving with the top down or windows down but my wife complains about it messing-up her hair... So on with the AC.
