Crikey mate. I'd suggest a different car if it takes you 8.5 hrs to do those little jobs, or perhaps a new hobby.lol. All cars require some maintenance and in my opinion this car is probably the easiest car to work on available. To me this hobby isn't just about the racing. The engineering and preparation is a large part of the fun I have. Re the times it takes, the more you do it, the quicker you'll get. Its an awesome car dude. Stick with it and you'll love it.
