My last cossie was lavished with money from me and still pissed me off to the point i didnt wanna drive the fucker
Everything possible was done to keep it reliable and sweet from the minute i got it, all sensors were changed plugs leads etc ect all the best of stuff, serviced every 3k regardless
and they still treat ye like a cock
but when there running its fucking awsome

heres my 2 pence being honest cossie are reliable at 300 bhp they will last allday all night
when i bought my 3dr in 1992 Martin tuned to 330 bhp on the greens (l8,T3 grpa 0611 gasket , wire rung block , ect
it lasted for yrs i never put a spanner on it ,only genral service i gave the car loads of abuse on the road and on the track,
when i went to 400bhp i broke everything gearbox, rear diff, you name it
i should have stayed at 330bhp
dont get me wrong the car is reliable now and has been for ages because it has the right parts on it

I can barely see the light at the end of the tunnel for version 3.0 of my 3 door (8 years later) and I've gone and bought a Saff to "do" next. The wife wonders if I need help...

Even after driving a few recently whilst looking for one and admitting they cant even compare to my more recent rides , i still keep looking at them and think about swapping the bm for one
Ive done well tho , managed to stay away for nearly 4 years .
I blame this place
