even if you do beat on it, it'll be fine. i've never babied mine. i've never abused it by doing repeated donuts and drifts (only because i don't have a place to do it safely), but i do launch it whenever necessary (autocrosses, dragging, or if i just get the urge), and it sees redline and triple digit speeds every day. I use my daily commute as practice between autocrosses. my car never has a day off, and it's still running great.

Fun to see that I will buy a car that can actually be very reliable for a long time use. Did you encounter big problems during those 150k ?? I mean beside upgrades, how much did you put in the car for maintenance ?

nothing but standard maintenance. oil changes every 5k, timing/acc/balance belts every 60k, diff/TC/tranny fluid changed every 30k, brakes/tires as needed, water pump at 120k, clutch/flywheel change at 70k, then again at 120k, and other than a couple light bulbs in the dash around 100k, that's really about it.
