How much is too much for Boxster S IMS Bearing Service?

I put 10% down and financed the rest of it through PenFed.org and now I'm driving a Grassroots Prancing Horse. Go figure. It's been reasonably well serviced, has Bosch FI, and really isn't as comlicated as you think. The online community is awesome and VERY open to the DIY ethic. Not much pretense at all.

A 308 was recommended to me as being the cheapest to own Italian car ever if you do your own work.

Nice work. Especially the "NOT red" part

A friend just had his Cayman engine crater and trust me there is no "saving" on a 3.6 swap. It was cheaper to rebuild his engine than swap in a Boxster S or Carrera engine in.

Love the color. A friend of mine has one in that exact color, it's lovely and a lot more understated than the usual arrest me red.
