I am thinking of doing the solution plain bearing mod on our car, but not advertised here in Australia.

Cheers Alan

Good on ya mate! The life expectancy of IMS bearings varies just like people. You should contact LN Engineering about upgrading your IMS down under.

79 is a good age next month. Been a RVer 30+ yrs Mom convinced me to sell. Just bought new to me 2000 Boxster low mileage as replacement. Age is frame of mind. Kids anxious to drive it and have not thought I lost my mind. Got to keep it between the white lines and below the redline.

Redline is the sweet spot
