At 5000 miles, sleeves blew causing really bad compression in number two and four cylinders.
This car was purchased because a friend had one and was talking a lot about it. Mine happens to be heavily modified with a.020" overbore and titanium sleeves with port and polished head and TRD metal head gasket. I run a ct20b turbo at 18 psi and punch over 300 to the wheels. She flies with power to spare. The specifications from the factory are unbelievable, but with an upgraded turbo, intake, exhaust, throttle body, and boost controller, this thing flies. I have yet to be beaten on a real track with turns because the suspension is to die for. This is a pretty fast car at a whopping 11.9 sec @ 118 mph in the quarter mile. Haven't been able to top out yet, but the speedometer has tacked out. Very nice car for the money and very easy to modify if you have the time and patients to maintain the vehicle. If I could find another, I would buy it in a heart beat.
This car only has 4500 miles on it?
Would the 4/10 reliability rating have anything to do with that?
