No rust to be dealt with, as I don't use it in winter

I've not mentioned it (not the right thread), but I have a 6 speed in my possession. So an STI8 bottom end and a 20g is all I need for high 300s.

I've always wanted 300 bhp per ton.

Keep it and throw more money at it. What could possibly go wrong

Great analogy. I think I'll steal that one for explaining to people (again) why I have a 20 year old car that gets minimal use.

The answer to this is really simple.

If you are buying a 3 year old car as a daily driver and want the best around then you need to look for fsh and low mileage.

If you are buying a 20 year old car to modify and enjoy then you need to look for condition and spec.

In the latter case mileage is utterly irrelevant.

Enjoy your car and keep it as nice as it is now as there are not many around in such good condition these days
