At what point do you say the IMS issue can be ignored? If the engine has 100,000 miles and the IMS is original, is there any point in doing the upgrade? Is it a case of 'if it's going to fail it will fail by 60,000 miles?
It's pretty common for guys to remove the driveshafts and front differential from the 996TT to make a poor-man's GT2, so I assume it would work with the C4.

The IMS fails (if it fails) at a wide variety of mileages, so there's not really any clear answer. Most older 996s are coming up on a clutch replacement, I would recommend just replacing it then.

New wheels would make a HUGE difference. The color still isn't the best, but those chromed 17s with crappy offsets aren't helping matters.
