I will definitely be looking into the IMS replacement and possibly the Guardian.
Dennish did you do the work yourself? Anyone else have it done? Did you use a local shop or a dealer? Ballpark cost?

Welcome. Fellow Land of Lincoln 911 owner lol. anyways, at 39000 thats not bad at all but to be REALLY safe, do the clutch/rms/ims replacement and drive it happily. Depending where you are, I'm sure we can recommend you a shop to trust. ENJOY and see you around. btw, you need to lower and throw some wheels on it asap!
I thought the same thing, any wheel suggestions? Where to buy etc...

Thanks I agree. I think the natural leather and the arena red is a great combo.

The Guardian is advertised as a DIY, and from what I gather it is. I had my mechanic friend install it for me. My car (MY 2003 C2) presented some problems due to a difference in the electronics from the install video and instruction booklet and a not so straight forward routing of the cable so it would be seamless and out of sight. So, I'm glad he did it and not me. Took him 2 hrs due to having to sort out the wiring. Most folks are reporting an easy go of it.

I did the same thing with the wine in the garage when I hot mine...as far as wheels good luck, let's see race or no race, bling or no bling, high price or reasonable and most importantly foreign or domestic. I have been looking to 2 years and I think I have decided on BBS CH .......so good luck

Very nice. I bought my first 996 this summer as well. I also live in IL (near WI). My car is almost the opposite color combo of yours. I have mirage ext (according to tire rack) and boxster red interior. I did add turbo seats (black) so not everything inside the car is red :-)
