Opinions are welcome on IMS issue. ...I know

[fanguy]

Having recently been on the search for a Boxster S, like many others before the IMS was a concern. However it was less so for the pros. I provide this link to one of Pedro’s videos discussion the IMS and also Road & Race UK. Take it for what its worth in gaining more info.

One of the overlook things that I continually found was the focus on IMS was what
Gelbster has noted several times along with Flat6. There are many causes for an engine failure other than the IMS. My you enjoy your ride with data that works for you.

We need way more competent diy mechanics involved in Boxsters .
But they need to have fat wallets,lots of time,equipment , blind enthusiasm & Post here often. The Track guys are perfect candidates. I welcome them all because each bring some new solutions. Ben 006 is a good example with his slick shifter, Stelan with the AOS hack, the manual top hack by others.
Some of the solutions are simple as indicated in Post 7 of the link below. But they are buried in the bowels of hundreds of postings scattered over many Forums. That is why someone like Wayne Dempsey or others at Pelican need to do the engine/trans R&R + rebuild videos and guides. It would sell lots of parts for them,drive traffic to their Forums and generally develop their Brand. It would be sooooo easy for them to do.
