Mines on 211k miles now, engine never been opened, used every day and occasional trackday.
It's gets belts when it needs belts, filters when it needs filters, plugs when it needs..... well you get the idea. I change the oil and filter every 6k miles aswell
of course what will actually happen is i'll keep stashing stuff, won't finish number 4 and buy a 5th 'to run about in over summer, you know not for long' and this time next year i'll re-write exactly the same post but with 'i'm only 5 cars and 4 sheds full in'
tb it can snowball easily, i'm only on 4 cars and about 3 sheds of bits but i'm really looking forward to putting the 4th car back together and then just clearing everything else out. I keep telling myself the hoarding is just to make sure I have all the bits to complete the 4 I have.

I'm an RS2 fan, bought mine second hand. Bolts straight on, no additional mods, run stock radiator etc and original wiring, sensors and ecu.
I fitted 197 cam, 8 degree inlet advance, 182 exhaust manifold and 197 injectors. Everything else stock.
Made 212bhp and 160lbft but from much lower...
New wheel fitted, thanks again to Andy snappy for the workmanship, superb as ever.
Battery cover also fitted. Next engine bay tasks are powder powdercoat some brackets, swap header tank and coolant when belts done and get spare inlets/fuel guard vapour blasted. Getting there!

decent, the billies are very good all rounders and even on the woeful roads on the hills around Derbyshire she copes pretty well. its a little bouncy compared to the daily 182 on H&R springs/cup dampers but its lower so to be expected.
and pic of it looking all shiny under the petrol station forecourt has made me look over the paint and decide....its not that shiny up close so think once I sort new front wings and get the side skirts off, painted and cleaned behind i'll treat the car to a proper buff to really bring her up...
My Andy of the Snap has refurbished two wheels for me too, although I am currently running the Sabelt wheel I think i'll chop and change as I please with them. As ever Snappy's work is second to none and proper chuffed to have the wheel part of the puzzle all squared off now :)
had one done...
cheers chap, Bilstein B14's are great for this as you just set the rear without the adjuster part of the platform in there and then match the front and its pretty much bang on everytime. although i think the front needs to come down another 5-10mm to be perfect
