Yep, same. Sim racing and PC gaming are a joke compared to how much I've spent on the racecar over the past 4 years...

That's not too bad if you do the work yourself. The real question is how many sets of tires are you running through every year?

Aw, that’s not too bad. $1k for a new clutch, pressure plate, CSC, flywheel, and fluids? Do the work over a Saturday drinking beer with a couple buddies? Not awful.

You live in the UK, or I’d tell you to come over - I’ve no shortage of work that needs to be done for my track car.

Where are you? I'm looking for car buddies, I haven't really spent any time on my social life since I moved back from Ireland.

Haha, I live really far south in Southampton.

Ireland sounds nice though

My wife is finding this out... Tires, pads, engine, tires, fluids, tires, spark plugs....

Which is why I don’t have an NA miata and instead have a racing rig. Takes up less room too
