It's had an absolutely frightening amount of money spent on it over the last few years the highlight being a hartech engine rebuild at about £11.5k
Nice fine
£18k+ in 5000 miles (7 years)
This lot I reckon is upwards of £35k in maintenance
My Boxster had £23k of receipts with it, but that was for 120k miles
Picked up a full Prodrive exhaust last night including sportcat downpipe and 3rd Cat delete. Already have the back box so will move on the duplicate. Will be having this fitted soon and the car will get a remap. Can't decide if I want (and can finance) a new bigger turbo and uprated fuel pump at the same time.
I'll be looking at a max of 290bhp on my current Turbo, where as the bigger unit and fuel pump should get about 325bhp, then the gearbox becomes the limiting factor (as I already have an exedy stage 1 clutch).
It will be going in next week for a new set of ball joints or track rods (need to find out which has failed) and an AC re-gas.
I'm going to fit the Brembo pads I have lying around at the weekend.
Install wasn't bad, maybe about an hour and a half, yes it will make a notchy shift worse, based on previous lotus experience changing out the cables and having a look at the linkage at the gearbox end will do wonders alongside the shifter...
