For a daily driven car like the sound of yours, you'd be mad to spend much coin on it, would be a almost a waste. You'd be more inclined to do it to a weekend car or a track car where you could actually can enjoy it to it's potential plus then you wouldn't have the worry of some numbut in a car park wrecking a door or the increased risk of another numbnut writing you off. That would suck!

Hopefully, it's all good and well for me to check and cross reference everthing to determine what is actually going on inside but reality will be something else and there are few who've actually done it to find stuff off. I only do 2000 kms tops per year so if it lasts 32,000 kms I'm laughin.

I remember reading somewhere on here that it went to a track day...... and subsequently caught fire..?
hahaha, see what I mean, the track shows all weaknesses. Good on the owner having a crack though and seems the important bit (engine) must have faired okay?
