Rcomito, I second that compliment and the advice. Excellent choice! I wish I had purchased red.

I wind up my motor to redline every time I drive it. The motor is designed for it and it really helps with lubrication from all I've read.

good morninall. have a newly purchased 2002 base with tiptronic. 62k miles. not sure if the IMS is really even an issue for me, but would like some input. last oil change was clean, no metal. car runs very well, smooth with the exception of some minor wheel shimmy at about 75 mph. may be road. struts tight, recent wheel balance. thanks

Yes, RMS leak (seep, no floor stain) in my 2004 S. Had seal replaced, today along with clutch and oil filler tube.

I don't know how to vote in the poll.

My '02 986S had an RMS leak when I purchased it with 68k on the odo. It also needed a water pump and a few other things. I decided to have all the big stuff tackled at once save for the timing chain paddles--RMS, LN IMS upgrade, clutch/DMF, AOS, water pump, etc.

Now I change the oil, put gas in it, and drive it hard whenever possible without (too much) anxiety.

RMS leak at 48K miles. Luckily I noticed it 2 weeks after I purchased it from a Porsche dealer and they agreed to repair it at no cost to me. I did the IMS and clutch since the engine was out and the labor was minimal for the additional work.

If you don't want to pay a shop to work on your Porsche, you could always get an Engineering degree and be able to figure out how to do it yourself?

(Just kidding... it won't help...)
