If you are serious about tracking the car I wouldn't buy it to be honest. Even I am starting to get anxiety about it even thought I don't track it, just autocross once in a while.

Shame really because the chassis is set up so well

Funny how things escalate over the internet

The folks currently doing a deep dive on data on the oil pressure loss issue literally have dozens of track days on their cars. They've probably run my whole season's worth of track days just diagnosing and gathering data since they've realized something is happening. And if you look around on these forums or in FB groups, there are many many folks with 20,30+ track days on their 86... and some of them are doing that many days in a single year.

I like to think I make it out to the track a lot... but if I'm honest, that's probably about as many track days as I've made it to in my entire life haha.

Not saying there isn't a known issue... but right now no one really knows how big of an issue it is. And in the meantime, there's a crazy amount of these cars on track every single weekend happily turning lap after lap.
