Had mine about 16mths . Mechanically all good. Has a Johnson pump, 65mm pulley & a not mad remap/tune, but it takes Off ! I love seeing M3 owners as I pass them from the lights rowing through there gears trying to make head way..Err ain't happening mate Lol. The bodywork was a bit bitty & wheels but this was factored when i bought it & then they were cheaper than today. I had 2 new front wings , bit over kill really but thought might as well, the bonnet had some stone chips too ,so I had the bonnet , both side's of the car painted & the wheels refurbed. All looks good now! I changed the oil & filter@ 4,000 miles I have only done 4.800 miles & most of them ( when warmed up) are putting it through its paces. I was not happy with the handling, still not with steering feel but hey ho. It had far to much understeer for me & I was going to change the rear ARB , before I did I had a Hunter 4 wheel alignment & wow did that make a difference, the front wheels were out a mile , so I stuck on 4 new tyres , that also helped a lot! really happy with it just now I have the 'Squeaky' rear bush problem which I'll get round to , also I replaced the G/box fluid & filter after reading about the 'Lifetime' gearbox threads here.
I love it, goes very well,unassuming, even more so as I do not have the Kompressor side badges , I asked them to leave them of, likes a drink but thats my fault...one of the best all rounders I have ever had!
Take your time, find a nice one, have one of the specialists here do a check on it & get one. One last point my Insurance on this last year was £193, £280 cheaper than my Cerbera, this year its was £190 Fully comp 7000miles! Oh & the prices are creeping up !:bannana:
