Since I bought the car toward the end of 2003, I have had to replace the front brakes with two new caliper sets.
The brakes are still poor so it maybe
requires brake pipes replacing?
I replaced the exhaust back-box and a cooling sensor which was fairly cheap.
Nothing else has gone wrong so far...
The car is fairly comfortable with body hugging bucket styled seats.
The handling isn't great, but then I need new tyres so a set of big rims may be the answer.
I have made a few modifications including 40mm lowering springs, strut brace and fitted an HKS induction kit which sounds great in high revs through each gear.
This car has serious good looks for it's age and turns heads everywhere as it revs like an F1 car!
The downside to this car, for me, is the MPG which is terrible! Averaging 20-25 to the gallon.
I found mine handled well as standard with Yokohoma tyres, problem was they wore out quick. I now have 17" alloys on there with 205/40/17 Goodyear f1 eagles. You will probably find changing the shock absorbers will sort the handling. I changed mine for the Koni inserts at the same time as fitting Eibach springs and the handling is awesome, it just turns in and grips!
The problem with the brakes could be either the break lines or the wheel cylinders, it's happened to me before. The handling may be the wheels.
