Clean radiators, a/c radiators.
Water pump replace with OEM.
Check brake pad wear.
Change brake fluid.
Measure tread depth. Check tire dates. Check wear for signs of misalignment.
Consider paying a Porsche expert an hour or so to look at the car and give his opinions.
Thank you

Motor mount, CVs, transmission flush, coolant flush/fix, AOS,....the list is huge of things you could do.

Obviously then the IMS is a big question mark. If it hasn't been done, that is certainly something to consider.

I would highly recommend getting your name on the list for a skybreaker, as it's just wicked cool and all Box's should have one.
Ims done, no ppi, what is skybreaker?
