Good cars, as long as you look after them, they are fun cars and enjoyable to drive

I used one every day for 2 years, really enjoyed it, just keep it maintained properly and don't go mad on the tuning and should be reliable, only problem I had was if it had been on a long run and I stopped the car sometimes startermotor wouldn't turn until it had cooled for a while, was going to try to make a heat shield for it but never got round to it, don't know if this is a common problem or just my car as only ever had the one.

Its common with cars that have the T3 conversion, But as i have recently found if you use heat wrap on the starter that stops that

Mechanicaly wise they are fine, no worse than anything else providing you look after it.

Saying that I wouldn't want to use one for daily duties as I get paranoid about leaving the car anywhere due to the amount of brainless wankers out there that find it funny ruining other peoples property
