some experts on here have indicated that keeping the RMPs below 3K while cruising may not be so good for the car. Higher pressures allow the oil to do a better job. I used to keep it at 2K to save gas on the highway but no more.

I've put 65K miles on my clutch and its toast. I'm waiting for my indy Porsche mechanic to get find time for the job as well as getting the updated RMS seal and IMS upgrade from LN Engineering. I'm also considering replacing the axle boots.
This is not going to be a cheap job...
I would strongly encourage you to put a away some money each month in an interest bearing account rather than paying for an aftermarket warrantly. Major maintenance and some unexpected but routine repairs on this car can easily cost you the price of the car due to the cost of parts and specialized labor. Also, try to replace something big each year once the mileage starts getting up there (over 70K). Waiting for parts to die can backfire if they all start to go at once.
