Hello all, after a few years with Cayennes and a 944 Turbo (still have) I had to get rid of the big suv. I got this, IMS done around 13k miles about 10 years ago...
Here she is. This is Porsche number 6 for me, but first 911, I love it so far. Headlight washer cap is missing...have a replacement on order. Red hardback sports seats, red seat belts, and I already took out the rear seats
Looking for ideas on wheel color on guards red 996's...post em' up.
Here is a few pics of my new baby....edit can't seem to post. I'll figure that out later.
She's a looker, congrats! I had a 99 996 race car in red and it looked good with polished Fikse's and it also looked good with CCW classics with Matt black centers and polished lips.
Lol Thanks all....might sound crazy, but I'm thinking of Plasti-Dipping my wheels gold/bronze, just for some cheap fun that is 100% reversible. Thoughts?
You sure it wasn't the RMS? Porsche didn't even admit the IMS was replaceable until LN engineering and Flat Six came up with the procedure a few years ago.
Nice car!
Maybe ims flange but I doubt they replaced the bearing itself or shaft 10 yrs ago
But regardless don't worry about it- very small percentage of failure - enjoy in good health!
