Just over 3k. We had been putting money aside for this work for a number of years now so we wouldn't be hit too hard. Beats the cost of a new engine by miles. You will feel differently about the car once you have it done. I am more relaxed with it an plan on longer trips. Good feeling now that the shadow of IMS failure has been erased.

Nasty old J G. Suck the joy out of life eh? A pox on your Boxster, may all 25 modes occur at once while your stuck in traffic, may your tires develop mysterious leaks in mall parking lots, may the ethanol in your gas rot your metal lines and fuel pump. May....oh well you get the picture....
