Silly git. should have just bought an MR2 Replica. Dont see many Toyotas setting fire 
Must be gutting though, watching your own car burn, although the fire doesnt seem to be that bad really considering it must have took a while fo rth efire brigade to arrive. If its a common problem, youd put a fire extinguisher in the car surely? .

saying that if you talking to Ferrari they have a set max ammount on which they will rebuild any Ferrari no matter the damage (theres a bit of small print) read somwhere it was 22k. which isent that bad to say it you total a 160k Ferrari they will rebuild it for 22k or a 450k Enzo
will try and find all the details on it, i have it somewhere.....
Ferrari also have the most amount of cars which they have built still on the road, example they built 300 ferraris and theres like 299 still on the road.

Apparently not, although i dont know how. Just been reading up on it (As my mates getting a CTR), and it relies on oil pressure, two pins and a spring. I'd have thought at some point either
A) The spring isnt going to have enough force to push the pins back, or
B) The pins will wear down

Not one VTEC system in the history of VTEC has ever been broken/faulty whatever.
Obviously there is normal mecanical wear water pumps etc.. but a VTEC SYSTEM HAS NEVER EVER BROKEN - that has been reported.
