Hey everyone,
I’ve been lurking and randomly posting here in the Boxster forums since returning to P-car ownership in January after being a long-time 944 member. I ended up finishing my DIY IMS retrofit this weekend and figured its as good a time as any to actually post some pics.
I found my 02 986 S after moving to North Carolina this year and consider myself extremely lucky to have found a well cared for, PCA member car immaculately kept. However, I had planned on IMS retrofitting any M96 I ended up purchasing and the car I ended up buying had gotten a new clutch less than 10k miles ago.
I ended up finishing my DIY IMS retrofit this weekend and wanted to share my experience.
During the project, I found the following things invaluable,
- The Bentley Boxster Manual
- 101 Projects for Your Boxster by Wayne Dempsey @ PelicanParts.com
- This Post: http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic...anny-r-r-tips/
- This Post: http://boxsterguide.blogspot.com/201...-info-and.html
- And This Post: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...t-bearing.html
Following directions from the above 5 sources, it was a fun project and I feel like I really “know” my own Boxster now.
Here’s some pics of both my Boxster and the project. I do plan to finish a full write-up in the future, but I think I’m gonna go for a drive and enjoy the completed project for a bit first.
Cheers,![Cheers](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)
