This is the bane of my wallet and the most fun I've had with my clothes on.
The spec:
Currently undergoing an engine & box rebuild after some gear selector problems, and possibly my self inflicted red mist left it a little worse for wear. The oil pump also exploded!
Thankfully the bores are still mint after 4 seasons It's a cracking car really.
For anyone who knows, it can lap 1'05.2 around Mondello on Slicks. I hope to put an early 1'04 next year
