From un-explainable phantom problems that start small or in one part of the car and spread to the rest of it, causing unheard of repair costs. To buying new parts and having the train the parts are on derail to shops wrecking your car while they are suppose to be fixing them to anything you can think of and things un-imaginable. I have had almost every peice of my car break in the time I have oned it (one year) the engine blew up, I mean it blew the %#@$ up! in the middle of the new mexico dessert (while not even driving it hard) my clutch has been replaced twice in 3 months, I'm on my second transmission with the same problems as the old one, I can't shift, I can't sell the car, there is a phantom problem every time I go or stop....the left front end makes a snapping noise, my tie rods went out ( that's right inner and outter), the new tie rods were put on with boots ripped IN HALF!!! and I had to pay extra and wait 2 extra days for these ripped in half tie rod boots, my cv axles went out and were replaced and are going out again three months later, I put on a new altenator belt and now the serpinteen belt is screaching, the high pressure line for the slave clutch cylender sprang a leak out of no were and I am unable to fix it on top of that "it seems to be unfindable, unless through special order", and after I replaced the first engine from it blowing up, the new engines crank shaft is %^*&#$, not to mention the radiator over flow suddenly felt the need to spring an instant leak which is pretty conciderable, also the car keeps getting to hot even under normal operation this was before the second engine and after, as well as with a new water pump and both fans running ALL THE TIME. I bought Tokico blues and eibac pros and the back end hangs over the tires hitting the tire every time I hit a bump, It's had two back to back four wheel alignments and still pulls, not to mention the steering wheel is crooked as hell and no one at the import specialist shop I took the car to and bought the suspention from can tell me why the car won't ride like it's suppose to as well as any were else that deals with suspetion, stearing or alignment. I bought this car with great asperations of making it nice as hell INSTEAD SO FAR IN THE LAST 7 MONTHS I HAVE SPENT A LITTLE OVER $12,000, YEAH,,, }TWELVE---THOUSAND---DOLLARS{ JUST KEEPING IT RUNNING AND IT STILL WON'T RUN. Every time I fix something, something else brakes or explodes and just when I think I've replaced every working peice of the car something I've already replaced breaks AGAIN!!! and every thing I have replaced either gets lost in transit, broken upon installation or is broken in transit to me. These cars are cursed more than satan!!! himself. The most agrivating thing about this giant piece of cow shit is that NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!- kmows anything about, anything to do with these cars, even on here, and no one will buy the %&^*#$% pile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T GET RID OF IT, I'M GOING TO DRIVE IT AND MYSELF OF A #*%^$*^% CLIFF. Sorry to hear the bad news, I understand the money part tho hay I over paid and can't mod it in California the way I want w/o the lawman giving me a ticket so 27 grand (with intrest included) down the hole so don't feel too bad. And stop saying you are gonna break the law there are people who read this stuff the wrong way (Because we on this site know you are just shoot'n off at the mouth in frustration  ) and may wanna have a talk with you. I hope your next car is much better than the one you have now Good Luck!
Hey thanks man. That was pretty much it, a long day of working on the car and fustrated. But for all the rest who want to know where the 12K went. I did alot of work myself but not all.... so here goes. Replacement engine, timing belt, alt. belt, motor mounts, two clutchs (in three months), tranny, CV axles, rotors, brake pads, shifter bushings, short throw, tie-rods (inner and outter), two 4-wheel alignments, tires (lots of tires at $750), slave cylinder, master cylinder, header, exhaust, intake, camber kit (to correct previous bad camber), clifford alarm (cause crack heads can't stay away from my car, ha), $1,700 7 speaker sound system, and various tool and fluids. I guess it doesn't really sound like it should have costed that much but it did (unfortunetly). The engine ran me about 2.2K and you can guess at the rest. Now since the last time I posted the bearings are going out so I guess you can say it is a pretty cherry ass lemon lol. I know a few things on the list have nothing to do with making the car run better like the stereo but it's money I've spent on the car.
I never even got to spend money on the looks so it still looks like a pile lol. I've been trying to sell it but no one will buy it so now I figure I'm stuck with it. I'll have to suck it up and keep sinking money into it with a good attitdue. So expect alot more post from me when I run into problems and can't figure it out. By the way that suspension set up only fits on the car right one way and if I installed it wrong the back would sit up higher than the front, not the other way around.

Have had my car for 4 years now, replaced headgasket and timing belt and waterpump at 60k (the previous owner ran the car into the ground, automatic trans was fucked) and ahd a trans shop rebuild the auto trans in it.
