Hi Jake,

I just took possession of a '99 Boxster 5-speed with 56k miles on it. Was owned by my father since it had around 25k on it, back in ~2003.

Anyway, my engine sounds fine. Clutch grabs well. And I have no idea if this is the original engine or if it was ever taken apart in the original 25k miles.

I will try to do the clutch job myself when the time comes...and then the IMS stuff and associated good things to do at the same time.

My question is: What's the condition of the DM flywheels you see on all the boxsters you are doing? Sounds like most of them appear fine, even after 80-90k miles, since you aren't replacing them as part of oyur package.
