    Yeah they're pretty good. Keep the oil fresh in the petrol ones. They still suffer from noisey lifters like most mitsi motors, but that's not a worry really.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Pro-ma (spelling?) oil additive is really really good for sorting this out.

    You had a VR4 last to 320k? Very impressive, most of them seemed to explode or fall apart a long way before that.

    Yup, sold it at that point and was still a mint runner.
    It did not have an easy life either but well looked after maintenance wise.
