    It actually stands for New Racer.
    Without the failures of people trying new things we would still be riding horses.

    I wonder how much a top end rebuild is worth ? eg new piston's and ring's and if they are still available too
    Would they have made O/S piston set's for them too ?
    Car stuff can be hard to chase after 10 year's, the manufacturer's don't need to make replacement part's any more
