Hello All - I am currently a honda 2004 s2000 owner (for 5 years) who tracks the car a couple times a year. I have been seriously considering moving to a boxster next year (MY05 S +) and have been researching the IMS failure. I was glad to find the information on Pelican and LN because to this point I didn't think there was any solution - it was simply "know what your getting into and keep your fingers crossed."

After reading some posts and LN's website - i seem to think i would preemptively change the bearing or the entire IMS when i got a boxster for piece of mind. I plan on keeping this car for a long time and i use my sports cars in all ways. Although it is not my only daily driver. Seeing the change in bearings from 2005 to 2006, although as you described you might not know what bearing will be in a specific engine, for somebody wanting to enter boxster ownership and address this issue right off the bat is there a better year to approach this? For instance should i get a 2005 with that was loved and hope that i can just do the bearing or as the saying goes by the newest one i can and do the whole IMS option from LN.

Thanks in advance. Regards, Damon.
