"A fun car in stock form, but an absolute rocket and a back road dream after a few add ons"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Drivers side switch that turns the dome light on and off when the door opens quit, I haven't fixed it yet.

Replaced the 3 engine mounts with hi performance replacements, this cost about $700.00 for the parts alone and $300.00 for the labor.

The transmission likes to stick in reverse gear, this is due to the type of clutch disk used from the factory.

Replaced the clutch at the same time for $300.00 for parts and another $200.00 in labor.

Bushing fell out of the shifter rod linkage, after about an hour of trying to retrieve it with very long needle nose pliers, I put it back in and replaced the cotter pin that somehow came out, Do Not shift these cars hard.

Even after proper front end alignment it continues to eat front tires in 20 to 30,000 miles.

General comments?

Over all I love this car and have added some performance modifications to it.

Smaller diamiter pulley and matched cam shaft and computer chip $750.00.

Full german spec exhaust $650.00.

New Speed springs, and Billstein shocks $1100,00.

These modifications have brought the power up to around 210 hp.

It now leaves VR6 cars way back in the rear view mirror with ease.
