-broke timing belt around 11,000 miles.
-3 clutches toasted (2 supposed race ones) by the time i sold it at 40,000.
-terrible resale value
-countless victims on H2 and elsewhere
still worth it at the end.

Only had it for 2 years but I loved that car.
Ported 16G turbo, boost controller, RPS street clutch, HKS Hi-Power catback
It had crankwalk and was very evident when I was driving it hard. Sold it for a 1999 Honda Accord EX with an H22A swap.

Car Info: Turncoat Turbo
90 Eagle Talon STi AWD - owned it for ~4 years and only had a cracked exhaust manifold and a lifter go bad - both repaired under warranty.
I killed the stock clutch at ~45k miles and put a new one in that lasted until I sold the car with near 60k miles.
15.0 bone stock. 13.7 with MBC, Airbox mod (cut off horn and put in K&N), and cat(less)-back exhaust.
Loved that car! It's the reason I bought the WRX (mid-life RICE-is?)
Worst thing about the car? The damned motorized seatbelts!

I hung out at Dynojet Hawaii when Roddy owned the place. That's when my blown SN95 was a dyno queen. Met Luke and Robert there...
