well ive just got the net back on today after moving to wodonga so il give u a run down. entered the ol' girl in the Albury Autofest just in the go to whoa and slalom events. qualified 26th out of 50 in the go to whoa but at the same time boiled the brake fluid, gave the pads a belting and i now have 2 flat spots on the front passenger tyre. went to the Clipsal 500 last week and now a new fuel pump has been purchased, bush kit for the rear suspension ordered and additives for the auto have been...er...added. all in all an expensive 3 weeks or so.
so with the above accounted for, wot else should i be looking out for after 250xxx on the clock?

It doesn't matter if your car has done 250,000.
But it does matter when your car has done 250,000 HARD kilometers. Good luck with it.

Just make sure you flush your radiator on a yearly basis living in the hot weather and has your aircon pump ****d up yet?
