Great car, congrats! You definitely went a bit beserk with the maintenance you've just did!
About the insaro, I know there are a couple of Porsches in Portugal with it too. But the price is steep, I think.

evan9eleven: are you ever back in Norway? It´d be cool to hook up one time. And why are you part timed in Spain?

Hey Haz!

I live full time in Norway but have a vacation house in Spain. I needed a fun car down there.

I saw that you posted your mobile number the other day and I saved it in my phone. Maybe we can grab a beer sometime when I'm in Oslo. I'll send you a text too, let me know if you're ever headed west with your Boxster!

Yes that was the only thing I recall about that bearing. It cost a few dollars more. And back then, the secondary bearing back up plan sounded like a marvelous solution. If it failed your engine wasnt toast!

Yes, it is more expensive. Other bearings are also available over here, but importing these costs too... and then there is sales tax which in Spain is 21%. In Norway its 25%. And gas is 10 bucks a gallon. Don't get me started.

Insaro has a single bearing that costs about €790 plus tax including a new RMS and no warranty. The double version is around €1275 plus tax with 3 year warranty and including a new RMS. IIRC the Spanish distributor of LN's bearing also gets about €800, so apples to apples the single bearings cost about the same purchased here. Its not realistic for us to compare anything to US prices, that can get a little depressing.
