It’s a bit of a quandary. Here we have these cars that are getting rather long in tooth and have had certain very particular weaknesses. Obviously, there are not a miriad of developers looking for solutions in a non lucrative niche market so we are left with a handful of small guru companies that offer their flavor of “cure”. Many of us, myself included, have bought into the LN religion but it’s not as if we have a whole lot to choose from. Is an 800 dollar bearing really worth that kind of money? Paul may well think perhaps not, but then he decided to up the ante to the “ims solution”. Probably a good choice but again, it’s serious money for a feckin bearing!
Sorry about the rant but I don’t even want to talk about the $500+ (okay, only 400 US) that I just dropped for an engine rebuild 101 course from another of our favourite gurus which turned out to be a 4 hour feckin PowerPoint explaining to me basically everything that I already knew about these engines...
