Engine Life - How many races before rebuild?
« on: August 09, 2007, 12:04:11 pm »
Hey guys, I'm new to Legends and looking seriously into buying a car for next season. I was just wondering how many races you can typically put on an engine before it needs to be rebuilt. Thanks for any help :)

Better to be hated for who you are, Than to be loved for who you are not.

Cool, so it looks like when you get to around 30 you should atleast be thinking about a rebuild. Next question: How much does a rebuild generally cost?

 That would depend a lot on what you can do yourself. As far as sending it out, I don't know. I'll leave that to those that know more than I do.

For me.. I know next to nothing about engines unfortunately. But I'm sure I'll be learning a lot more by the time I actually get my car for next season.

Its a learning curve, but you'll learn quick! You have to :).
But  yeah, 30 races is about right. Also, changing the oil every 2 - 3 races is a must to make that 30.

And Dustin: Are you still sim racing?
