This is for the folks who recently got into this platform/want longevity.

  1. check your timing seal cover , if it is leaking then immediately take it be replaced. This will cause your motor to end itself. If not leaking then no worry. ( check left side)
  2. If you hear squeaking from top of engine bay when pressing in clutch. Replace the Slave Cylinder and line ( 60 bucks) - This will affect the way you shift
  3. IF YOU HEAR SQUEAKING when pressing in clutch DO NOT IGNORE IT. this is a quick fix and if you ignore your release bearing you can DESTROY your entire transmission - This is a common issue and if ignored 600$ turns into 4k
  4. Get a brake kit (yesterday) Trust me, makes driving the car so much better.
  5. Do not forget the TOE on your suspension, BE aware if you go LOW make sure your alignment specs are dialed in (INSPECT your Tires for wear on specific areas) Identify if you are destroying just the inside of the tire etc. rotate.
  6. COIL PACKS
    1. They will fail, They will not always throw a CEL (they have a wide fail threshold, where it could be working 50% and still not set off a CEL)
    2. If your car is running like ass replace the coil packs and spark plugs

- Don't listen to your friends, don't beat on this car unless you want to put some TLC into it. this car can be beat the hell out of but will require good maintenance.

- Take several track days/courses before you add any more power( odds are car is fast as you need it to be just you have to learn to drive it)

- Baby the vehicle and she will be good to you
