Yes 2 hrs is a little short, I think I must have got this from a NA turbo car. I think the PPI would be a whole day event. I would gladly pay $800+ for a PPI to get piece of mind, but again nothing is 100%. I would also take the car to a body shot to check for accident damage.

My PPI from RUF took 2 days. It was very comprehensive including a paint metering inspection.

I just re-read the whole list.
With the exception of the things on the list that do not apply because of his extensive mods (ie. check for rolled fenders and some things related to the non standard ECU) I think El Guapo would "pass" this PPI.

That being said, I think there are three types of buyers at our level.
1. Particular. This would be 99.5% Rennlist members
2. Persnickety This would be your most dedicated Finder of Faults. (1.499%)
3. Perfectionist. Only dogs can hear these individuals fart.

This PPI list is not really that involved except for the compression/leakdown. Last PPI I did, which included all the above and more, took about 6 hours of time - but that included having the prospective new owner "helping" me along.

Cheers,

MIke
