Think about it, if you beat the PISS out of a Honda, it would break. You mod a car, it will break. Plan and simple.

Nope.
I tried to keep mine stock, really. But first the turbo went, then the motor, then the alternator, then the throw out bearing sepperated, then 2nd gear went to hell. By this time I had replaced all of those parts with upgraded parts, neccesitating further mods such as injectors, fuel management, intercooler, ACT 2600, etc. Those upgrades also neccesitated further repairs. Clutch hydrolic system went to hell, more boost blew the head gasket, pressurized cooling system blew coolant and heater hoses.
This massive and tragic downward spiral all started with inherant flaws in the quality of the car that I started with. For 4 years I dumped enough money into it to have bought something REALLY nice. Now I sold it and consequently have something really nice. The end.
