yeah my ED has seemed to hold up well, not to many problems, most of the things i change are voluntry like performance mods or if it looks cruddy change it. etc. only thing ****ing me off with my car at the moment is the brakes, put in new pads and it feels worse...LOL time for new rotors and better pads!

LOL I guess ;) But my point is that reliability is becoming a hell of a lot more important to me than mucking around doing mods. |

When my ED was my daily I went through the same thing, after a while you just replace all the things that wear out and you get some reliability out of the thing. Once had the clutch and accelerator cable break in a 24 hour period, talk about engineering something to a lifespan. Actually I tried to drive it home with the throttle tied on WOT when the accel cable broke, interesting drive home, ended up towing it. Some of your grief is self inflicted though, as soon as you start modifying a car and things are being used in a way that they were never designed your bound to have dramas :(. - John |

: give his car 14 years and see how it goes then. I enjoy fixing my cars these days, i thought it was funny when chunks of metal flew out the side of my motor. My EA is pretty damn reliable anyways for the K's it's done, and I deffinately havn't replaced anything twice. ermm, fix your car Adam.
