Owned it for nearly two years now. Bought it bone stock for $2500 with 148k, now still with only 155k. The poor 7M is currently afflicted with blown head gasket #2, cause last year I was a moron and I didn't have the time or money to send the head out to be resurfaced the first time it popped. Within the month (hopefully) I will be pulling the motor and dropping in a 1J. I'm an automotive student at Baran Institute, so I do much of the work myself. My love of the MkIII comes from the older Gran Turismo games for PS one I played as a kid, but I didn't realize until I bought it what a nightmare a MkIII can be to work on. Working on my car really has been a humbling experience :icon_bigg
