Why it fails...

.....is not important.

All that matters is that some of them DO fail.

What difference does it make as to WHY they fail? Does knowing why your heart stopped beating matter if you just replaced it with an artificial heart?

If you are worried about your IMS, just install the IMS Solution from Jake Raby and get busy living.

To be fair this is bad logic.

It's important to know what can be done to prevent the failure to avoid replacing it.

Imagine how much value the m96 cars would go up if a definitive case was proven that your ims should be fine if you don't lug the engine or you don't corner hard to the left with minimal oil or use this certain oil etc etc.

In the case of the heart I think priority one is to see why it fails before we just ask everyone to put an order in for a replacement just in case.

Can't agree more guys.

I would have sold my Boxster in 2013 if not for the IMS bears issue. And, again last month. Several serious buyers expressed concern. That and I priced is so high. 10/10ths had the right idea. Buy it and upgrade it along with some other parts and enjoy it. Now that I have figured out the Boxster is not going anywhere Ill add the solution to it and be done with it. Now the question is when. Now? When the AOS goes out? When the clutch is done? Fortuitously, I don't lose sleep over it. I have other issues in my life for that!
