Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello guys, I'm a new member to Rennlist and to Porsches in general. I just purchased a green 2000 C4 w. aero kit with just over 24K on it - I am very happy with the car and have no problems with it. I hope to post some pics soon! I can see why you guys are all addicted to these things, Ive got it bad! Anyway I have been trying to do as much homework on the car as possible - I am aware of the IMS issue on the 996s. I am looking for a reputable mechanic/shop in the Chicago metro/suburbs area to give it a good inspection ( esp IMS) if it is an issue. I would prefer a private independent shop with a personal touch! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! BTW I am also interested in joining PCA this summer - thanks
Welcome !
Eurosport has been really great for me. I just my Oma done there,
I visited a few other Indy on town during my research on Eurosport really stood out.
Pm me any time

Does Midwest allow you to purchase/bring your own parts? I am not trying to cut corners - just for simpler things (plugs, ignition wires etc.,) and I know some shops wont warranty their work this way but hey, anything to save some money! Also, do they do a computerized engine analysis? Also, may I ask tmorrison, what were charges for the IMS and what did you swap it out with? Thanks alot !
Midwest Eurosport have a good reputation, I had several inspections done there. They are very thorough and knowledgable. I also hear Kurts German Autoworks is good, just one guy, apparently been doing this for a while. I called him as spoke to him, seemed quite decent. I probably will try him for the convenience since he is in Homer Glen and the last place I went were unable to diagnose an issue with my convertible top, but did a good job with my 60K service (done at 71K but finally got around to it!).
Good luck.
