Wow, I wish I was that lucky. I've got a 2000 Stage 3 - with 105k. Right
now it needs its 3rd airbag module, front upper control arms again, another
rear bearing, and another oil leak fixed. And someone hit it and I need a
front bumper cover and hood. I've replaced many engine parts when I went
Stage 3 so hopefully that will hold together. It's not just a car, its a
job too.
