im the second owner and i have had no major problems so far knock on wood only thing is the transmission is a little sketchy.ow and the rear left brake squeaks when i release the pedal .
I/H/E, denso iridium plugs,upper neuspeed strut bar,ground wire upgrade,bigger battery 800cca,full progress coilovers,poly bushings,ingals camber kit front and rear,VIS carbon fiber hood,magnetic drain plug,water pump,timeing belt and tensioner, transmission flush,royal purple oil and filter, jenson flipout,alpine amp,kenwood amp,tsunami grounds wires and capacitor ,mb quart highs and mids,powerbass 12s,
Cooked an alternator on the dyno, replaced 2nd and 3rd gear sets along with reverse, crazy wiring issues, killed a set of fuel injectors, lots of rattles and squeaks traced down, 2 speakers have died (still dead), torn 3 motor mounts, 2 dead map sensors, 1 dead TPS, secondary o2 sensor dead from rich conditions under boost, popped a head gasket from boost, blown charge pipes off numerous times, both wheel bearings replaced, a couple wheel studs
Dezod turbo setup, y8 intake manifold, 3" exhaust, tokico blues and springs, ingalls stiffy, stainless clutch lines, battery relocated etc. etc. the list goes on, I'm just too lazy to list them all, but that's the gist of it.
Done:
-Replaced rear compliance bushings (rear suspension squeak)
-Replaced numerous wheel studs (swear I didn't cross-thread them)
-Replaced both front wheel bearings (one may have been from accident, other from dealer incompetence replacing front wheel stud)
-Replaced ELD
-Replaced throttle body after TPS went bad
Not Done:
-Front compliance bushings are shot
-Center console/shifter light out
-Driver's window doesn't auto-down (motor's also way too loud)
-Stupid center air vents start rotating upward when car interior gets hot
-Whatever the hell's causing my right rear suspension thump on rebound
Upgrades:
Not many - wheels in stock size and ATE front rotors with Akebono ceramic pads (all stock size)
Does have fewer rattles than my mom's 2008, though...

I'm the second owner and not one problem. Looks like it just came out of the show room. My old 2002 coupe, that's a whole different story. Poor car.
