okay the idea is to say what break downs you have had and how many miles sense the last problem
mine, left maryland and drove about 2000 miles and i lost a wire for my temp gauge.. twice another 1000 miles later a lost a rear brake pad after about 500 the tranny started making noises at about another 1500 miles i swapped trannies another 1000 and the alt went up all of the above was the 6700 mile trip for the wcc over 3 weeks then sense i have been home i have put about another 2000 miles on it and i had the shift bar break about 300 miles ago, and lost the main relay about 1000 miles ago, and about 200 miles ago i hit while parked tell us about your problems, and i think i put more mile on my car in 3 weeks than some here do in 3 years |

Hmmmm over a year ago I pulled the 1.7 and sold it so I could build my 2.0. Been broken since. I guess that doesn't count. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Installed the Hybrid in March and have synched the carbs once since..... Between Brent and I we have driven it about 8K over the summer. It hasn't been touched, not even an oil change.
Its mandatory to rev it to 8K at least once every time its driven (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Wanna race? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) |

I've had Elvira for 10 months now.
3500 miles, including 10 track days, and only needed GTO. (gas - tires - oil) |

i have owned the car for 5 years now and the uptime/downtime is split almost equal 50/50 ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) well, the full ground up restoration wasn't really a brakedown, but the result of what i thought was a slipping clutch. 1 1/2 years later, she was running again ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) last *real* brakedown was when the clutch tube broke ... brad bailed me out on that one (like on so many other occassions) last *little* brakedown was when the carb linkage came lose ... that was only 5 minutes from scotts shop, so getting help was easy ...

Yes, Brad has done his share of bailing, but it does work both ways!

For the whole car over the year. I've done alot. mostly upgrades to make it faster. or replace some worn out parts hear and there.
Most recently broke the passenger side carb linkage arm. 20 minutes drove it home 150 miles at nowmal break neck speed. Through lots of inspections and nut/bolt checks I have not been stranded yet. I drive the piss out it and race it even harder. Seems I am always teaking and trying to get 10/10ths out of it. over 10,000 miles last year. and 3,000 miles already this year. April is my year marker. |

well, let's see.
i replaced a battery and voltage regulator in the first /6, and a clutch cable. don't recall the mileage. in the yellow car it was pretty much just upgrade everything that needed service. replaced an aft shift rod bushing between practice sessions for a Riverside DE. broke a front antiroll bar droplink in the next session. the car's been out of service since then, 1981. 23000 mi |
