[QUOTE="el_chupo_, post: 5624564, member: 559190"] I had a 93 non turbo 5 speed for several years. I loved the car, it hated me. Bought it at 125k or so, supposed to have been just after major service done.(timing belt) Drove good for a bit over a year, then I heard a tick in second gear. went to a local shop, pulled ******, busted tooth on 2nd gear, need new gear. 6 weeks later part is shipped from Japan, get ****** put back togethor. Drive it 3 days, and the timing belt tensioner went, jumped 9 teeth on the timing belt, popped all valves. Rebuilt engine put in it, 4 weeks later I get teh car back, throwing CEL;s New computer, 3 months later it goes. finally sell the car after 4 months of dealing with it dying in the middle of a drive, towed a couple times, etc. Great cars, maintenance HAS to be done. Torque steers like a mother. Crappy factory paint. Blast to drive. Check out 3si.org [/QUOTE]
