Have changed a rear caliper this year, normal old age related issue. Most items I have problems with are just due to old age, I normally just replace them anyway if I spot them early.

Still have a cracked cylinder head on port 4, but running as normal, no problem. :) its on the long to do list

To be honest it costs me very little compared with a new car, ie no large monthly payments etc (the car costs me nothing each month).

Insurance is dirt cheap, just fuel and go!
 
driving toyotas the last 9 years only time they ever needed to be towed is the snow and once from a blown engine which was my own fault
few small niggles here and there
dreadin the thoughts of ever havin to buy anything else

Only problem I've had is having to look at the car on axle stands for the past year and a half!! :p

Been a long project due to lack of funds but I've gathered a lot of nice parts for it... Forged 4E, WEPR TD04 Kit, Rays TE37's, EVO 6 Recaro's, etc.....

Just stupid bits going wrong that hold up the whole thing and not having the facilities to do the work needed.... Should have the project finished by x-mas :D.

Iv had my ep91 bout 4 months, everything that goes seems to brake seems to be aftermarket parts, like coilover, BOV's And also lookin at other peoples cars, that seems to be the weak spot. All the stock cars seem to be mules :)

i had a standard glanza for 3 years never done anything to it at all hammered it all the time, i got it with 56,000 miles on i done 55,000 miles in 3 years and it never missed a beat, then i put it up to .85 bar with supporting mods ran perfect until i hammered it for a couple of days not realising it had no oil in, it still lasted a good while then it started knocking =)

Had my car about 2 years, only had to replace service items, brakes, tyres etc. Will happily run all day without a problem :D Spent enough on the tuning/parts so it's very reliable
