I have always tried to stay ahead of her. I am 65 so I will keep her until my knees give out and I cant get into anymore.



So thoughts;



Clutch, I have heard that the 987 clutch is a straight replacement and an upgrade, true/false? Your thoughts.



RMS seal, no brainer.



IMS; likely to do this at the same time, LNE seems to have 2 products;

Time honored bearing replacement (ceramic bearings) and a new "solution" with a oiler.



Any thoughts on these?

Having started with a 97 when a new engine from Porsche was the only remedy, I was more than happy to spend the money on everything Jake and LNE came up with. I went overboard and did Nickies, pistons
And everything else including the high performance upgrade. Later when the solution came out I was one of the first in line. I have a second car with only the original ceramic bearing. I’ve had zero issues out of either one, but there is no doubt as to which one I will keep. There is a performance difference too, but knowing the car is virtually bullet proof is a really good feeling. I have never felt that way about any of the many Pcars I’ve owned over the last 3 or 4 decades. They have all had their flaws.
