Why do we do it

Post by pablo »

When we look back at all the problems we've had we find ourselves asking the question, why do we do it?

1. Blown head gasket at first dyno run
2. Blown headgasket on second track day
3. Warped head
4. Overheating problem - Inadequete plugs and leads
5. Over fueling problem
6. Under fueling problem
7. Suspension problems
8. Engine dying

Cost of plugs

Nice compilation video - I know exactly where you're coming from grief wise - the good times make it worth it :wink:

Nice car and vid mate. I know how you feel as do most others who have ever tunned a car.

Look forward to seeing it on track, might even try and blag a passenger ride if i can.
Thanks Nash

I have watched this video a few times now and the footage of Donny was particularly useful. If our passion for cars did not summon such desperate feelings of concern, fear and the sickness deep in the pit of your gut when you know you have no money to fix what you have just broken, we could never enjoy the bliss that comes from a truly great drive in our pride and joys. The balance is the thing that makes it special and the thing that keeps people like us coming back for more.

Great stuff Pablo.
