    2020 Mk2 on BaT 4/3/25

    I owned Mk II chassis #11 for 3 years. 1100 track miles. I tracked the car at several events including running COTA three times. Pros: The car is extremely easy to drive and a blast on track. Stable and predictable, although I doubt I pushed it past 8/10ths. The cars are durable with...

    First Gen Cars.

    Follow this….thank me later… You gotta decide what your real goal is…end user or speculator. Buying a 2500 mile car that’s 20 years old is counterintuitive to someone who wants to drive the car. My car turned 20 in Feb 2025. I’m the original owner with 63k miles. Drove to dinner with my...

    Preemptive Maintenance Tip - Shifter Cables

    engine noise

    One other thing to check next time the car is getting an oil change and belly pans are off… the oil pump pulley and belt. A worn, failing pulley can cause engine noises and clatter. If the pulley splines are wearing bad enough…oil pressure could drop. Then you get real clatter at the front...
