So Aquila, what did you do about yours when it expired, did you rebuild personaly or was it a new engine complete or someother solution.

When I was at the 'ring there was a Integra type R which had over 200k on the engine.

Impressive, especially considering for the last 40k it had a supercharger on it!! It went past me like I was going backwards. It had never been rebuilt

>100K = borrowed time imo

I wouldn't want a car with that kind of mileage

not least because everything else will be wearing out
