Hi:
I haven't posted here since 1998!!! Yikes! Anyway, just thought I would share my misfortune. My 2nd engine died in my 2000 S of an IMS failure. The first was the same failure. I am the original owner and now have (had) 197K miles on it and it was in fantastic condition. The first engine blew at 47K miles (replaced under warranty), and now the 2nd with 150K miles on it. My plan was to keep it until the wheels flew off.... I guess a bearing is a bunch of wheels eh?
I don't know what to do.... been checking the options. I will never put another engine in it unless it is something special like a Raby or real well rebuilt one. Cost for this is around $20K and now that I have been perusing the used market, I see there are tons of options out there...... I still don't know what I am going to do.
If you want to see some pics of it at 175K miles click below and note that for the life of the car, I put snows on it each winter and it was in a partially covered car part in center-city Philly for most of its life.
Peace
Bruce
Warning, put on some sunglasses... pics at 175K!

Thanks all!

Actually, I am looking for one of the bolts which fastens the U shaped bracket to the car frame at the top.

My 2000 Boxster S is missing one of 2 bolts which fasten the U shaped brace holding up the rear of the aluminum pan under the transmission. Does anyone have the part number or better yet a diagram?

The car looks fantastic! Clearly you have really liked the car, I hope that the engine was not destroyed in the failure. I decided to spring for a Jake Raby 3.6 liter remanufacture of my damaged engine and have been really happy with it.
