Thanks Rob for the feedback.

According to RightDrives when they do their inspection if they find anything faulty or not working they will replace/repair the defective piece. Hopefully any gremlins that are present due to just being an older car are dealt with before I take delivery. Either way its going to be a lifelong collector/project and I am no stranger to mechanics and electronics so what ever issues do come up I will address them.

Sweet. I bought my first r32 back in 05
As a lifelong collector too! After 4 ears, I couldn't wait sell it. Bought another one (dumb yes, why, I dunno) and have since been keeping in under the knife for te last 4 years. I think I'd rather have an old 911 but meh. Maybe I'm just addicted to spending money on the badass parts and never driving it. When I drive it, I think about selling it while it runs because its only a matter of time before it breaks again. Then again I've put 3,000 miles on it since 2009.

Im thinking of something powerful with less than 5 years use (mmmm mustang, viper or corvette)

That's eventually how I felt about my last Subaru. Built it all up and eventually got to the point where I wanted to sell it before it broke and I would have to dip into the GTR fund. Sold it approx 2 months ago and picked up a 2nd gen legacy wagon as my daily. Told myself it was just a daily but in 2 months I have installed 02-07 wrx coilovers, jdm projector headlights w/ 6k HIDs, 3k HIDs in the fogs, led replacement lights inside and out w/ red gauge cluster, and a custom exhaust. She is slower than crap, especially compared to all my previous cars, but I for about 3k all in all shes a great daily and still have $ for the GTR.



and saw my old car the other day (sold it to a buddy who works with my gf) he took off the Voltex wing, deciding what look he likes best.



and how it was when I sold it to my buddy

And then there is the other side of the coin.....me. I have had very little trouble with my car over the 4 years that I have owned it. I have put about 15k miles on it and can lay the smackdown on just about anything I want. It's the luck of the draw really, especially with a 25 year old car that has had major tuner work done on it. But in the end, it's an old collector car, you are going to have issues with it. Funny thing is, this is the "newest" old car I have ever had as a hobby car. Most have been in the 1950's to the 1980's. This one has by far been the least amount of trouble.

Def a 2 sided coin I love my car don't get me wrong, but if it hasn't drained 20k out of me the last 2 years them it hasn't drained anything. I've driven it a solid 3 months in those 2 years lol. Ps I'm in the u.s. too!
