hope you didn't drop one of those tiny little black screws that secure the plastic air cover into the engine compartment and have it land on the undertray and have to jack the car up and unscrew the undertray to get it out.... you didn't do that did you? because it takes about ten times longer to do that than it does to replace the filter.
Happily, I avoided that fate.
I'm glad I saw this after I undertook this project. Had I properly understood the consequences of dropping a screw, some of my fumbling could have gone the other way!
Today was all about the wheels - cleaned them inside and out.
yes, clean wheels rule.. especially silver! I clean the barrels out weekly along with the wheels of course.. thankfully mine I can do everything wheel on
😊 I feel that I found a sweet spot among 987 Boxsters, which was my aim. Serviceable IMS, add low temp thermostat, and drive it endlessly.
How does one determine if they have a serviceable IMS bearing? I have an '06 Boxster S 3.2 - I believe it's a late '05 build date. Would it have a serviceable bearing
i'll be opening the trunk of my '07 cayman to retrieve my foxwell ODBII reader...
all in a desperate attempt to clear one of the 8-10 ECU monitoring items that refuses to be "verified" in my other (unmentionable) sports car. it's smog testing time again. and unless and until the ECU monitoring information has been gathered, sorted and collated correctly, you are deemed unworthy to even be judged by the smog guys.

I believe they transitioned the IMS rather early in the ‘05 model year, but I am certainly not an authority. A number of threads, and websites from the folks posting within them, provided part of the answer for me.
installed a piece of broken plastic in the frunk that holds (barely) the cabin air filter in place. then washed the wheels, then checked for the first time, using my foxwell ODBII scaner with the porsche software on it, the overrev report. results were:
1 2325
2 285
3 1
4 2
5 1
6 0
i've read that ranges 1 and 2 can be ignored as well any with counts less than 4 so i'm satisficed. of course, i may be fooling myself...
Just picked up a 2007 Boxster S that needs a little love. First order of business is fixing the convertible transmission gear. Top was making a pretty bad knocking noise, which is now totally fixed. Thankfully the driver side had already been upgraded! $45 in parts and a few hours work and my top is 100% functioning and smooth.
