Flat 6 Innovations saved my motor

wow, that pricing isn't bad at all for what you get. It's much cheaper than engine replacement.

I expected the first response to be "Damn thats expensive!"

I agree it's a good price. Here in Toronto I have an estimate of $1400 just for the RMS. I have already messaged Jake that when I'm ready to do it I will bring my car to him. For 3500 (right now the Canadian dollar is almost at Par as the US) I get the RMS, IMS retrofit and a new clutch. With Jake I know that when I get my car back there is no doubt that the job was done correctly. That's more than I can say for the dealers.

My Car is 2000 Boxster S (Speed Yellow) in Mint condition with 34,000 Km which worries me as it's low mileage for older vehicle. I bought the car last spring with my eyes open knowing about all the potential issues and with a slight RMS leak.

No regrets so far. Love the car! Big difference than driving my Mint 1990 Crx Si.

lol, i'm an optimist. while i don't have that kind of cabbage to throw into my boxster at teh moment, i see the value of the service performed. Some people go with the lowest price and some pay more b/c they know the job will get done right. .
There are certain things i pay more for and this would be one of em.



When you break it down, most would pay anywhere from 1500-2k for clutch and rms with parts included. I would assume most ims updates would require a bit more work and time involved so 500-1k.

So the normal total cost at some indies would be 2-3k, and for peace of mind 3500 is worth it to pretty much guarantee preventing ims failure.
