Yeah I suspect you're right. He wasn't afraid to shut people down if he disagreed with them either. It was an incredible thing. No one else got even close to his record with a Saph did they? I think an Escort or two broke 200, but he was a good chunk beyond what anyone else managed.
The new...
Not sure to be honest, must be a couple of years ago I would have thought. He had been ill I think, but don't know the exact circumstances. I had a couple of run-ins with him on there. He could be a bit odd at times, but seemed well liked in real life.
Another guy on pf owns it now, has at...
Yeah changing the turbo spec isn't he? Would be awesome to see it do one more top speed run, just to see if it could achieve what Rod/Mark were hoping for.
I think a lot of the problem is that people get into a car like that and expect it to drive like an Evo VIII or something else much newer. Like any old car, you just have to adjust your expectations and remember when it was built. I'd still 100% have one.
It's the front wings that really ruin it for me. The lines around the vent thing behind the wheel are so badly resolved it's almost funny.

That's fair enough but, if the new dash doesn't solve the issues, I'd be wanting that money right back from them, and I'd want it confirmed before you pay for it. Would be a proper PITA if you buy a new one and it goes wrong immediately!
I wouldn't dismantle the car when you're so close, but I think I would be considering other dash options to be honest, as this has been a bit ridiculous to be honest.
