And since i don't own a 306 I definitely live for the xu10j4rs Thumbs up

Please no comment's on the photo you know the story "i was young no money the need and it was one time only" LOL

Nice pic...

Regarding your question, I think we do it due to love of the XU10J4RS when it is running right! LOL

That's exactly how i feel these days. I had the car off the road for 14 months and that i use it everyday it's again down to pieces. Never had any issue whatsoever always serviced in time, only genuine part's and oil changes every 7000km. You quested it that's the "Thank You" i get Thumbs down

Ohh and Stan you said it right "I think we do it due to love of the XU10J4RS WHEN it is running right!" LOL

it will be drachmas you will need soon as it seems the euro is about to implode.

Although France seems to be keen on getting rid of the euro too.

I wonder if the parts will get cheaper Hmm

EDIT - Don't mean it badly , we will be f**ked too if the Euro goes

Well I hope the s**t doesnt hit the fan to badly in your country Yanni. A lot of things have contributed to what is happening not only in your country but all over Europe. Im sure I dont speak for myself here - I hope the wheel doesnt come off to badly and your country can can get back on its feet again Thumbs up

At some point it will but you know that these thing's take time a lot of time. The problem is what they leave behind.

They are trouble but for me fixing/bodging it back togther is part of the fun.

And although they do require a lot of the above, they are pretty cheap in comparrison to other more powerful cars.

My mate who has an evo7 blew his transfer box not long ago and it was gonna be £700 to 800 just for the part Shock

I have often thought about moving to something faster. I might be able to buy if but the maintenance would be a killer

The sc and turbo guys may think thats cheap but its way out of my league.

So imo they are pretty cheap for the fun they provide.

Yes they are cheap and you get a lot for what you pay and i agree even more that part's are . It just p@*s me off the fact that they tend to go off just about when the fun begins LOL

I totally agree with you here. Its just those illusive problems that really p**s me off. The ones you cant figure out how to solve.

You think you know loads, almost have a 'been there done that got the t-shirt' attitude and cant be out foxed anymore but something will always crop up thats new / happening again but with a different symptom that fools you into thinking its something else or im my case crop up and you cant find the solution. Its the not knowing that gets me Thumbs down
