My CMC died at 70k, probably due to being a bit of a hardparker too.Originally Posted by Setanta
DLO01 belonged to Dean who mods these forums and the car is well known enough on these forums and ClubITR not to be dodgy. His build: http://www.tunerzine.com/view-articl...-typer#gallery
Turbocharged until he took the kit off it. Purchased by me at 29,000kms. Now, there may be some truth to what you say, until you jump in and feel how tight the car is. Neither Dean or I used it as daily driver and the turbo kit was on for about 5000kms according to him.
Dean had a Competition brand Stage 4 clutch installed for the turbo set up and didn't return it to stock. Between the fact that the car has spent a lot of its life as a garage queen and the fact that the seal on the clutch cylinder had died does not mean overuse. In fact seals go bad from lack of use and a bit of dampness getting into the fluid can be detrimental - this I know after owning numerous cars over 27 years of holding a licence and more owning a car. If you'd met Dean, you'd realise that "thrash" is a kiddy term. Quartered - yep in turbo form (can't remember what he quoted me he'd done). Driven as designed - yep, by both of us. Thrashed, I doubt it.
Anyway, PM DLO01 if you think it's fake.
I'm on 90k, would be a lot less if my daily didn't break down.
