report card after 2 years of ownership
 
bought the car 2 years ago. 100k. has 112k miles on it now.

the car has original engine, turbos, clutch.

replaced fuel pulsation right when i bought it.

only problems so far: had one small boost leak about a year into ownership. a couple of weeks ago a clutch hose needed to be replace. neither was expensive (except the tow).

so i've been pretty happy with the reliability issues - knock on wood.

What mods (if any)?

only two years? feels like you've been around for longer than that.

congrats, my first FD had few problems too, drove it for two years and only had minor issues. (cracked flywheel, 3xxx RPM hesitation)

yup, only two years. does seem longer though.

pretty standard mods - radiator, intake, smic, dp, cb, ecu, coilovers, wheels.

1.5year of ownership, twice my vacuum hose from the vac chamber disconnected, leaving me without 2nd turbo. Once MAP sensor vac hose disconnected.

Other than that - knock knock :)

Basic performance and reliability mods, mostly running 10psi on the street. 5 trackdays so far.

oops. i forgot. i had a faulty solenoid too. so that's three actual problems in 2 years of ownership.

How did you determine that it was a faulty solenoid and what was wrong with the car ?

ttb 05-11-04 02:35 AM

this was the solenoid problem
