    Fantastic find (well, rediscovery).

    Even FNA's current staff are not aware of this document, at least the ones I've spoken to.

    I love my 99 f1. No majors, I have spent the bulk of my money on exhausts, headers, cosmetics, and such. I think most will agree though that there are times that little things go wrong. In the last 10 years I will list, major services twice, no extras other than alternator once, cv boots this year, fog light bulb this year, rear bonnet shocks twice about every five years, transmission was grinding and had to replace secondary shaft two years ago I think previous owner had a major transmission problem and I bought it right after he partially fixed it, cats 6 years ago hyper flow, oxygen sensors every time I Cali smogged it. Alarm horn due to battery failing 2 years ago. Brake pads twice, tires twice, clutch once 2 years ago, battery once, one headlight bulb two years ago. Regular services, and I think that's it., oil pressure sensor this year, fuse for f1 every 3 years. Oh ya engine mounts this year, very important.

    Thanks Dave for the post. I just got my 1998 spider 6-speed with assembly number 27707. I guess I finally got lucky.
