Last seen with P plates so the car is likely to have been grinded to the bone.

For the info of any prospective buyer.

Yeah, this type of modding was very popular around 10 years ago, especially in Sydney.

Engine is stout, but also 35 000km old, so in built motor terms its close to refresh time.

My understanding is that on a forged engine things like the piston clearance (over time can cause piston slap compromising the rings and cylinder bore) and obviously the overall higher engine power output would be things that reduce engine life span... not to mention the owner / driver of the car which is another factor of the cars future reliability.

That being said if the engine was built / maintained correctly there is no reason why it wouldn't have plenty of life left. Same with a Rotary, they get a bad reputation for being garage queens / workshop whores (which admittedly is where some spend most of their lives).

I'm fairly sure that gold abomination was purchased from over east, went on the market not long after, was purchased, posted by new owner in here, now it's on the market again.

At least it didn't start 100000 suspension and wheel threads before making the wrong decisions
