both.....
I guess in one year its not the best.... but not that unheard of.
MKIV Supra and R32 Skyline would be around that in a single year.
Supra easy... that was about 7years ago and they were still selling for 15k+ but i went and blew 4 turbos to fuck and an engine 8k rebuild!
Skyline was cheap to buy, and the rebuild wasnt forced - just wanted to do it...

Given how much I drive this I hope it'll last a while now. Did under 7500 miles in the year I've owned it, so hopefully the engine will last another 7500.
I did a good job on the old engine, as when that ate itself it blew the primary turbo too, so that needed replacing to the tune of £1k (as it's a bespoke RX7 unit with both turbos going into the same turbine casing).
Everything else is pretty much solid I think, only the paint and wheel issue to address, might actually have some money to spend on my human woman over the next 12 months

What other species of woman do you own?
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I get more sick of her exploding for no reason, draining my wallet and developing a drinking problem.

Today I bought these:
Complete with EDFC in car damping controller:
So they'll be getting fitted sometime over the next couple of months along with new polybushes, then set up, corner weighted etc.
Also got carbon seats sorted, so they'll be in my possession soon. All prep for Ring 2010 and hopefully Stelvio
Next up, need wheels still
