    sounds like probably 6-7 years at best. you DO know what it'll cost you if it goes bang, right? you do realise your time is not free, even for you, right?

    i think you're taking too big a risk. take it to zagames for a belt change before it's too late.

    Bah, let it blow up I say! :p:p
    A hard day on old belts will do them some good. It will soften them back up and they will be good for another 5yrs or 30,000km. ;);)

    the belts probably resemble the beaten up leather straps seen on old foot powered Singer sewing machines by now :p

    i didn't drive your car on the track...but i have photos of mine doing it, phil's doing it so i think it would be safe to assume yours is a big barge too.

    I know exactly what it'll cost me if it blows up... I doubt it will though... I've budgeted for a complete top end rebuild anyway... worse case realistic scenario is a damaged piston... so I'll fit Hi comps... don't mind that idea actually....

    or maybe a buggered cyl head.... I'll find one.

    my time isn't free of course, but I can find time to do my own jobs.


    oh the pic.... yeah... very funny.... I quite like that pic with the 348/F40...as it shows how much mechanical grip the car makes with my tyre choice

    but barges are fun to drive... and if you enjoy a challenge, all the better...

    almost anyone can drive a good car pretty quickly... but to drive an old barge quickly is much harder

    really? so why'd you ask it?

    fastest ferrari at PI? well...if i were there you wouldn't get it, obviously (unless you think you're going to do better than 1.49) but i don't have a problem with you getting it.
