  1. I do it myself and use the turtlewax scratch and swirl remover.... it works nice on your paint and works really well on the headlights. I still have to give them a quick going over every 6 months or so, but it's just a 5 minute job.

  2. I've got a 1994 wagon and I have not had very few dramas. I got an older one with a EJ20H solely for the reliablity of the long block as I didn't want to have to rebuild after a BEB 3 months after buying it. I have had mine for 2 years and the most I have had to spend on it at one time has been the rear struts and some bushes but it will need a new clutch in the near future. One thing that the older TT tended to to was spit out cel dode 66 fairly regularly. This means the sequential turbo systym has a fault of some sort and can be basically anything to do with the turbos and can be a pain to try and sort out. My car is fantastic and I take it on the track every now and then and if you want the extra 20kw that they didn't have it is very easy to find that back with a few simple mods.

    The primary turbo can be swapped for any of the later model twin turbo's so if the original primary died look at getting a primary of a 2000 or 2001 RSK or GT-B. Good luck

  3. I'm heading along the same road shortly and have decided to go with a factory rated one. Even though I do a few track days I prefer to have the standard rated clutch die instead of rebuilding the gearbox. Not this will stop it shredding gears if it's going to but rather have the weaker link in the drivetrain being the clutch nott he gearbox.

  4. From my limited experience you will get a good sound for a bit and then they will probably crackle and die and sound like mud after a while. That won't be until a wee bit down the track though so you should be fine for a bit... the louder you play the music the quicker they will die...
