Think I may have spun a bearing at knockhill today trying to keep up with an EVO. Shame as I was doing well.

Oh well had enough time for something else so its getting broken now.

Think you are on about a different one mate as the one with white wheels was in a different session than me. Seen him there before and his Evo is seriously rapid!

S2 RST '90 spec was running 190bhp approx on MFi. Reckon the oil got too hot and some damage has resulted.

Really dont know what else to get but a mate just got a mk2 MR2 which I like but its a bit cramped inside for me even without a crash helment on.

Will need to see how much I can get for breaking mine first then see whats available whilst resisting the temptation to go buy something just now.
