I look forward to see that info--I'm sure it would be an interesting read.

I have corresponded via email with 2-3 guys on this subject that had under 20K miles and have gotten zip from Porsche; these were people mostly off Pete's boxster board but here may have been off of this one. They sounded legit.


Here's' one guy--the email was from April 2006. Last I hear he got squat

Hi Mike: Thanks for the response. Car is now at the dealer so I can't get
you the build date sticker. Will the VIN # help? A little more info. Car is
mine since it was delivered new in Dec 98. Car was already on its way from
the factory when I got involved and the car was delivered to
Pioneer/Porsche in San Diego. A true garage queen. several concurs and 2
wash'n shine first places and only 14,850 until last week when the
catastopic engine failure occured. We did a Porsche driving experience and
one autocross since the car was new.
I've been hearing about cylinder sleeve failure- have you? Let's keep in
touch. I appreciate your help and interest.
Les,

ike: The build date on my '99 is 12 nov, 1998. The local delivery was 28
decmber, 98.
To bring you up to date, I can safely say that I am being stonewalled by
the Local dealer, the So Cal rep and by the National PCA "Customer
commitment" on the East Coast. They just refuse to help on the engine. Do
you happen to know if there is a central Porsche guy that could help
document the engine sleeve problem? All I have is heresay to work with and
I afraid it is not going to cut the mustard when I write my strongly worded
letter (in progress). Anything you can add will be appreciated....Les
