Seems like when you want something, you sometimes get more than you bargained for. I wanted a slight upgrade. I got a melt-down.

all you are doing is showing your pure ignorance for all things cars while thinking you know everything

as for your other concerns, as a one-time career mechanic, i can say that the thermostat is a wear item, as are CV boots, especially on a FWD car where they are turning frequently (as opposed to the rear where they only rotate in the same direction). if you wanna complain about CV boots, go find the B5 section on vwvortex and come back and cry some more. those fools are replacing them every 50k miles and it's normal

SR20 is a great engine. I was just stunned to see the cap/rotor under there considering my first car was a 93' crown vic ex cop-car and it didn't have that setup still.

yes, the CV boots are wear-items. I agree with you. Ticks me off that they both broke 5K miles after I bought the car, though, lol.

I haven't been around very long I guess, but I have never had a car break the radiator or motor-mounts randomly before, though. Also, almost every rubber bushing on the car has had to be replaced. That's new to me also.

On the plus-side, the accessories ALL work, ALL the time.

I meant it's a good value. I live small in areas I don't care about, such as my daily driver, etc. so that I can afford things like a Z06. I did not mean 60K was cheap, but for what you are getting, it's cheap. Will know in a month or so if my living somewhat frugal has allowed me to save up and roll one
