I talked to RND today, and like their Roller bearing solution. It's a purely personal decision. After thinking about it, knowing it would cost 3k for the install with a clutch, and the car not needing a clutch. I pulled the Sump, and it was clean, not a spec in it, So, I think i'll just drive it till it needs a clutch, then do it. If it does have a major problem, Low millage used engines are only about 4-5k. That's for the 3.2. Yes, i can put it in myself. Plus, if you think about it, you got a 9 in 10 chance that you'll be just fine, and that's if the car has the single row, and you don't monitor it. Pretty good odds in my book. Or park 100 boxsters in a 10x10 gird and pick one if you have the double row, even better odds. I'm going to drive it and enjoy the /// out of it!. Great little car. :dance:

uh-oh

Believe me its around the clock in Shanghai Beach these days. Look at the pc clock in the grab below. Including yourself we are 22 folks on the waiting list and I just had a vendor from Tokyo putting a deposit for 12kits last Friday (reseller there).

Trust me when I say I am doing everything I can to get those out for you. I'm actually back in the shop this Saturday (full-time) as the site is pretty much completed. Well.... it works anyway (safe shopping).

1.5 months of pure 18hrs/day ecommerce developement. NEVER (ever) again lollllll



^ No panic; shipping is included! I'll update the DIY thread as soon as I'm ready to shoot. Sincere apologies to you and everyone reading this
