What did you change on the car in those miles? Clutch, IMS, AOS.. etc

Thanks
Sasha

Yep, AOS twice and not let's forget the top, windshield, headlights, oil cooler, brakes, coils, O2 sensors, MAF sensor, RMS, flywheel, and water pump.

Hope you're having a good time, Jäger. How many of those 216k are yours? That's amazing (take that VW)

I have put approximately 185,000 miles on it since I purchased back in 2005.

DUDE!

Well that's getting your money's worth.

Say, since you're road tripping and taking pictures all throughout, why not contribute to the Boxster Picture Game Thread I just started up today? It might be very easy for you to accomplish some of the tasks since you're travelling all over the place.

Good for you. Drive it like the Dr. intended!!

The car was born to rev forever! Seriously, I bet you have changed the engine twice to get that sort of mileage – or changed the oil every 1,500-2,000k.

I also say you are a teacher or a professor to be able to afford some, what appears to be, switched on quality time!

Can you describe the engine history and condition please, what type of work involved if any, oil choice & change freq, driving style, petrol/octane selection (habits!), etc...

that is very impressive already

-Daily driver
-Have not taken to the track
-Original motor
-Purchased car in 2005 and it had just over 30,000 miles
-Change the oil every 3500 to 4000 miles - Mobil 1
-IMS bearing upgrade at 210,000 miles (LN Engineering), no other major upgrade or rebuild

so you seriously just got the IMS bearing done before this trip? wow...
