They're bullet proof. Are you bringing it to Mosport? You'll have a blast. I don't think the maintenance issues are any more significant than other makes. Aftermarket parts are plentiful as well as support. The cars are well balanced, predictable, and tons of fun to drive. I would be happy to help with the who and the where for maintenance and aftermaket.
I honestly wish I was going to mosport, but I just paid a significant repair bill for lifting a head at Tremblant with the Cobra.
So....with a simple Turner H&R springs and shock package, some pads, lines and rubber and I can go to town with it? I would assume the car would fit into ST3 in that form.

Not bad for 2k I think..

Thanks Will. I'm not looking to set the world on fire, but I would like to have a better balanced machine than the one I am running...while being less costly overall. The cobra is great, but I feel as though I have to drive it wrong to go fast....One look at my line through 14 at Tremblant, and I think you'd catch my meaning.
I am thinking with light mods mentioned, and assuming the car is solid otherwise that sub 2:00 laps at Tremblant, and sub 1:26 laps at NHMS may be attainable.

I believe there is something that needs to be reinforced at the rear shock tower area
I cant recall specifics but Im sure Turner would know whether it applies to this car
You cant go wrong tracking these cars- great handling and braking the motor is bulletproof and the only problem Ive heard of with the 2.8 alum. block motors is when people really overheat them ( I have the same engine in my 528it 5-speed kid/dog hauler )
If you are going for a pure momentum car you will have to "upgrade" to the 4-cyl 318 motor ( I used to pick up 5+ mph drafting big HP miatas up the back straight at mosport )
