Yeah, I have similar mods on my '91 Coupe and it has only broken down on me a few times. Those few instances were something you could expect from any 14 yr. old car, whether it's a Honda or an MG.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention that it's my daily driver too.

i have the same clutch setup and a light steel flywheel and its more than barable for daily driving. and i drive it to school and back plus all around town through lights and trafic without problem. i find my moms rx8 to be harder to drive than my car but its not to bad either.

Sounds really good to me. You have a nice headstart with all the mods already completed to this car. The cooling system is whats not mentioned. Any thing done to it? The car has to run cool or its soon toast.
