If you think Porsches are expensive, parts & maintenancewise, get a twin turbo RX7 for a rude awakening along with the electrocution!

LOL!! I have been driving mine for 3 years doing DE's Autocrosses (Scoring FTD's almost everytime out) and basic on road antics. The only maintenance I have done? Oil changes, Fuel Filter change, new spark plugs. Thats it!!
It really does not get any simpler.
At my last track day I overheated it really bad (280°)**. I DROVE it my mechanics Monday and we did a compression check. Yup, compression is low. Pretty sure the seal springs are weakened from all the heat. This major repair will run me around $2000. After 3 problem free and maintenance free years I will happily pay that.
This was during the last session at the track, see how weak my overheated engine is:

I am looking foward to seeing some Z-06's at the track. I have seen a few on the road now and a couple in the paddock at the trac but none on the track.
**overheating was due to a bad underdrive pully setup and a faulty thermostat. I saw my temps were up but was unsure if it was too hot. My water temp guage is very wrong so I was convincing myself it was all o.k. - New guage on the way.
