Some do complain, some don't. I don't consider IMS replacement as 'maintenance' but rather protecting my investment from poor engineering and corporate policy for not owning up and fixing the problem. Just my opinion, yours may differ.

Investment? Eek!
Sorry, I'm a banker - always shudder when someone calls a car an 'investment'. I guess it's an investment of time and money and the return is a lot of fun...but still....eek!

Just wondering if any of you have any experience with the roller bearing offering from Europe as an IMS replacement?
|
Its interesting when the knock off products are being copied! That makes them a knockoff, of a knockoff.
People wonder why we take the time, and spend the money to Patent protect and trademark our genuine items. This is a classic example.
The funny part is, I remember being told that it was impossible to retrofit an IMS Bearing, and when I first released my procedure and the associated genuine parts, people still didn't believe it.... For 2-3 years!

I somehow doubt our 2000 era Boxsters will bring that sort of return, although willing to cross my fingers.
