Six or seven months, I think. In order since I got the car (month and over only) a month waiting for a slave cylinder to get ordered in (brandon mitsu sucks), a month while I did the clutch, three months before I swapped out the blown engine, and the 6 month figure when the shift fork in the tranny broke- that was from spring this year, to fall this year. There have been other long periods where it wasn't running right but I could limp it around, like the entire second year I owned it which is how long it took me to figure out that although the ECU was in perfect shape (I looked at it many times making the rounds of possible causes of the problem) the part number on the label showed it was for a 2.0 NON turbo... that had to be the biggest kick in the teeth I ever had with this car, always misfiring and running like shit in boost because somebody swapped the wrong ecu into it and it took me a year to figure it out. Then there were 3 months with the front left wheel bent out with 20 degrees of positive camber after I crashed it christmas day last year, but it actually drove fine like that- I even took it to the track and ran a 13.3 like that . It's always due to lack of funds to fix the thing. If I had a steady flow of money the car wouldn't be down for more than a few weeks at a time, and it'd be a hot-looking 11 second daily driver instead of a POS 12 second junk-mobile.

Oh, the sad part is that this thing is my daily driver.
