yea the engine bay is cramped, things are in wird places, and generally the parts are expensive.

besides that, they are fast cars even the N/A and easily tuned to go faster. good balanced chassis and look awesome.

this i have an na that was fun as fuck while it lasted

now that i look back on my purchase i should of tron the motor apart and check everything

first check the motor mounts then the rod bearings then the cooling system and god help you if you have a twin turbo... or a vacuum leak

my bitch has been siting for almost 2 years since a rod bearing decided to say fuck it and fucked the crank shaft clearance for the few meters it putted on forward

good luck also their god awfully easy to steal either switch the ignition system or install kill switches and all kind of anti-theft shit

Did you pull the engine?
>>
>>13901335
fuck no
i took off the whole font suspension and left the engine suspended by a big old dried out piece of tree trunk on the transmission and dropped the oil pan to get to the rods

to be honest im surprised it held too

I own a 91 twin turbo that was cared for and modified very professionally by the previous owner, it's hands down the greatest purchase I have ever made, don't be afraid to ask lots of questions when looking, take your time to find one that's been well maintained, look into timing belt, alternator goes bad at 150k, lots of vacuum lines and electronics to worry about, fast, handles like a motherfucker

>NA is less of a hassle money-wise and maintenance-wise
>Pay more for a properly maintained twin turbo
>Average 18 mpg
>Classic 90's styling that doesn't need much done to still look good

Had a tt for about a year attempted to dd but was sitting in the garage maybe 50% of the time I owned. Was a blast to have when it ran well but the rest of the time it was stressful and frustrating

Well its not as much of a vehicle problem as it is a financial one, they are good cars as long as they are properly maintained.
