when do you cut your losses?

Just had the good news that the chim needs a new set of rings at the young age of 45,000 miles. Not dead on it feet but using a fair bit of oil and seems down on power.

I have done a fair bit to the car this year, ap race brakes, nitrons, camm, starter, clutch, loads of other bits.

Question is, when should i call it quits and trade up. Should i stick with it since i figure there is very little elese to do after the ring job?

I was shocked at the price, Steve Howard say around £500 for all the work. A lot less than I feared, I am getting new bearings and other bit for that.

I have also decided to have the ACT carbon fibre trumpets done along with a modified intake buterfly.

With new rings and some induction work it may sway my descision

I think problems like there are rare. I purchased the car with 36k on the clock so do now how it was treated before me (has full TVR history).

There are no noises or smoke it just uses some oil, I am doing this to get the most power possible and to ensure the car goes strong for another 50k.

After this I am hoping I will have on of the most sorted chim. in the world!!
