SR20 is a great engine. I was just stunned to see the cap/rotor under there considering my first car was a 93' crown vic ex cop-car and it didn't have that setup still.

yes, the CV boots are wear-items. I agree with you. Ticks me off that they both broke 5K miles after I bought the car, though, lol.

I haven't been around very long I guess, but I have never had a car break the radiator or motor-mounts randomly before, though. Also, almost every rubber bushing on the car has had to be replaced. That's new to me also.

On the plus-side, the accessories ALL work, ALL the time.



I meant it's a good value. I live small in areas I don't care about, such as my daily driver, etc. so that I can afford things like a Z06. I did not mean 60K was cheap, but for what you are getting, it's cheap. Will know in a month or so if my living somewhat frugal has allowed me to save up and roll one
so, just to confirm, you are complaining about the reliability a 10 year old daily driver, that you purchased used?
