Not much. Window motors, fan relays. My biggest issues where to deal with overheating. Fan relay went out so only one worked, fixed that. Thermostat went out, then something was causing the fans to only work at half speed when they did work. Powering steering went out too, but I think it was due to it getting to hot cause I was cruising town when it went out, and that goes by very slow (1st gear slow).

Thats it.

I have tried to break it while it was under warranty, unlimited mileage for 1 year, with no success. Its the difference between rebuilt and remanufactured.
Curious, location of Monster Motorsports??

Most recently I think its the original radiator. It had a good run, 160k if it is the original.
Knocking on wood here, I haven't really broke anything, and I pound on this car just about every day.

I'm sure in a few months I will be breaking a lot of things.........
Well I suppose if the first thing I break is traction, I can hope the trans/rearend will hold together.
