Probably run for ever if left as stock, no one does that.

You can have a look in various threads but here's a few things that go wrong with them.

1. The original turbo needs replacing if at high KM's, they tend to break

2. The gearbox is strong but the changes of gear in 4th and 5th can be rough

3. The clutch will burn out if you use the car for power launches :-)

Lots of things can go wrong........

Get it looked by a good mechanic......

I would suggest you change all the pumps when you get it though..ie..fuel...water...and most of all oil.

Oh..yeah..if it has a after market computer..get it re-tuned..that is if you have no Dyno sheet.

Cheers

Oh yeah..look up the engine failure thread..you will see how they can fail.

and remember that they are old cars now. you're looking at a 10 year old car at least.

Worst thing about imports as you would know is service history from japen - or lack of
