I blew up the original 2.2 motor in it, because the person I bought it from had swapped in an engine from a NA 2.2...too much compression.
Broke the drivers axle between the street racing and drag strip launches.
Alternator took a crap.
Seats were leather and were not taken care of before me... all cracked.
Turbo lasted until 126,000---original with the car--at 16 psi of boost... not really bad I guess.
Clutch and pressure plate shot.
A lot of parts were worn out at this point due to the mile I guess.
I love this car, but luckily I am very handy with things like this.
If you are looking for a reliable car... look else ware, I always seem to have something smoking or broken, but if you are like me and your girlfriend has a newer car...ie. 97 neon, grab it!
Not the lightest Chrysler had to offer, but still lighter than a lot of newer cars.
Get a Neon? Your kidding right? The Shelby lancer would win hands down reliability wise over a neon.
