In my opinion, this is not a car that you get in and drive; this is a that you strap into and wear like a tailored suit to a triathlon.

Modifications: All original equipment no mods except for Rennline engine mounts yellow bushings installed 2 years ago. Yearly oil analysis—all clean can send paperwork. Replaced the coils, plugs, oil sending unit, right window regulator, battery and rear tires. Added factory roof bars with new hardware and locks. Refinished headlight lens.

I have had bore inspections done on a number of s and found bore scoring on more than one of them; one of them was a 40AE car that only had 40K on the clock and an engine replacement at 11K.
The culprit was more than likely the fact that it spent time in a cold climate and was either 1 not warmed up properly, or 2 was left to idle for too long before being driven.

Regarding comment about front struts on PPI, will they need to be replaced? With "typical" use, the clutch will last approximately 60K miles. Ajverga Hello, Thank you for your kind words. I do not know why they also removed the engine in conjunction with replacing the IMS. Typically just the transmission is removed. The drivers side was keyed on the door and the fender and rear quarter was blended. Read through different Porsche mods to uncover the make cars having the very best or the worst 0 to 60 mph performance.
You may also wish to discover how zero to 60 times of a particular model transformed across generations to learn the actual way it stands up against the competition. There is an important thing to bear in mind.
