Buy a fd, install new wiring harness, new injectors, new fuel rail insulators, new coolant lines, new fuel lines, new fuel pulsation dampner, new vacuum lines, aluminum radiator, FC thermoswitch, install a downpipe and drive the wheels off the thing. Keep in mind most of these cars were daily driven for the first 4-6 years of their life. After about 60-70k miles is when a lot of the problems started arising.
These cars can make great daily drivers if you are willing to put about $3k of maintenance items into them.

The only thing I could say as a pro to a daily is if you can keep yourself disciplined enough to stay out of boost. This will prolong engine life and keep your overall temps down and therefore keep wear and tear to a minimum. You will still probably get a funky issue from time to time, so just get two.
Uhm that would be a negative. If you baby the car you will get carbon buidup in the rotor housings, the higher revs actually clean the housings (this is design feauture). So boost away 10 psi that is
