Let me see.. for the past year, ive been following the regime of doing an engine oil + filter change after 5000km of commuting... so just a quick summary of my expenditure on the car.
1. Engine oil + filter - $66 x 5 = $330
2. Battery (changed yest) - $80
Car vibrates a little.. might need to change the mounting by the next 5000km servicing. Coolant, ATF, etc etc as well.
Hmmm.. i guess its not much of a difference from any other Jap cars except for the more frequent change of the engine oil (mineral which is CHEAP)
Just an advise, No mods, not much problem. More mods more potential problem.
2cents from a noob.

Thanks for the info on maintaining the 8. But most problems occur after 2-3 years? Did you install another cooler for your 8?

As for those issues u highlighted, I believe MG has the capability to resolve, y not come down during our meet-ups and u will get tons more info there.
*Warning*
Meet-ups r highly poisonous, I got sold after attending one

Careful not to get
by underestimating a AT 8
