Sounds spot on, I wonder how often the engine needs to be rebuilt?

Quite often if he treats it like that

Those Millington units are tough as anything though to be honest.

9000 rpm. Wide open throttle pinging off the limiter, love it!..I didn't realise it was a millington as I watched the vid before looking at the link.

That's a lot of cash for an engine to me but probably a cheap item to him compared to his budget and a rebuild is prob just a small running cost.

I would love to own that car, perfect spec!
