Fully agree on you. It looks like a bad 997 replica imo.Gop-Dogg said:Pass on the Gheyman. Nose is too long and the front is ugly. Give me a 997 over that.
What's the significance of an RMS engine?Rickcoin said:It doesn't look great, but it could make the 911 obsolete. Too bad it has an RMS (rear main seal) engine.
I see, so it's not good to have the car out of warrantyde Witt said:Hard to replace the rear main seal...expensive too. May have to remove the engine or transmission, whichever is easier, to replace the seal.
The Boxster has suffered from RMS (rear main seal in the engine) leaks since 1997 and Porsche refuses to fix it. Some 997s have had RMS leaks. The 996 GT3, GT2, and Turbo had a racing-derived engine with dry-sump lubrication and they didn't suffer from RMS leaks.barnoun said:What's the significance of an RMS engine?
This is very good info, I was planning on getting a boxster in a few months as a daily driver but now I have to reconsider my decision. Seems like there are benefits to getting the top model of a car, besides the increased performance. :cool2:Rickcoin said:The Boxster has suffered from RMS (rear main seal in the engine) leaks since 1997 and Porsche refuses to fix it.
