these cars are pretty fast. theyre pretty good cars if you know what your doin. they have a bad rep because of the owners screwin with the cars tend to mess the motor up. if you dont know how to work on it then leave it to someone who does.

Also, always keep an eye on the timing belt. That is what snapped on mine and I am using it for an excuse to completely build everything.
Also, everyone says if you don't know how to work on them, then leave it alone... How the hell are you supposed to learn how to work on them if you never mess with them? In all honesty, if you ARE willing to get your hands dirty and turn some wrenches when something goes wrong, then go for it. Before I bought mine I really had no clue on what I was doing... Now I can do most of the work myself on the car.
You'll be able to tell if it is cammed or not. I would get a balance shaft delete kit. It'll save you some trouble in the future. Also, safc2 at least if it is not tuned with anything. Maybe bigger injectors, also. Enjoy the DSM.
