    Just figured I'd make this since everyone always complains about how much of a money pit our cars are. In the last year and a half I have paid a whopping $40 in repairs consisting of a new IAT sensor and ambient air temp sensor. I know my car is going to explode now but oh well.

    harmonic balancer: failed epicly
    LIM gasket:also failed
    catback:failed.... fell off in the middle of an intersection
    sway bar links all around: rears went, front i replaced when i did my LCA's, for $8 for the pair you'd be stupid not to replace them.
    LCA's: the front bushings were partially separated.

    Wow dude that really sucks. Hopefully you're over that hump lol. I know about those failed LIM's, except I was stupid enough to have a shop change mine. After that boom, and I have an L32 and debt.

    They installed them wrong and coolant got in the oil. It was awesome paying them to blow my motor.
