that sentence is pretty funny!

that having been said, every one of us on this board understands you, believe me. BUYING a porsche and OWNING a porsche are two different things, and it doesn't sound to me like you can afford to OWN this car right now. preventative maintenance would be key to a long & happy boxster life, and that really can't be done on the cheap. i'd settle down, keep your current car, & wait until you're in a better position before you pull the trigger on something like this.

others have said it before; i will say it again: there is nothing more expensive than a cheap porsche.
I have been studying up on the Pelican Parts forums for quite some time now and focusing on the IMS retrofit kit. While it doesn't sound EASY, It sounds POSSIBLE. Any and all maintenance on the car would be done by me with the exception of the 90k service just for resale purposes down the road.
