2000 C2 Tip with 105000 miles so far. Had it about year and half and spent probably $5k on it so far. All of that little stuff that needed fixing with time. Yes I had a PPI done and leak down test showed very good. Need to replace cats now

Original clutch went to 50k and 1st replacement went to 92K

It has been driven hard every day of its life and has never let me down (knock on wood)

Just pulled the turbo off and built a magnaflow exhaust for it and now it feels terribly slow and boring. (and loud)

Thinking of what else to do to it. (Ls1 conversion, ???)

Not to stray too far off, but I've got to hear more about this turbo setup even though it's off now.

2002 c2 with 113,000 miles. This obviously is my dailey driver. Never had an RMS issue, based on vehicle history. I bought the car in June of 07, with 87,000 on the clock, bone stock the engine dyno showed 341 HP. The motor screams and no appreciable oil loss between changes.
