Here is a list I have compiled over the years for the repair work:
• All three front radiators (right front now twice)
• water pump
• coolant expansion tank (as a precaution with water pump)
• power steering pump/reservoir (for the annoying squeal)
• right front bearing, left rear bearing
• front diff (due to front bearing issue)
• clutch accumulator and slave cylinder (4 times now for the slave - one time lasted only 4 days and it failed - PCNA pulled all the parts on the shelves in the US as a result of this and a few others in the country with a similar issue)
• wiring harness repair (passenger side front most cylinder – harness to the coil pack chaffing issue)
• rear main seal (while engine was down for a wiring harness repair we pulled the tranny to inspect the bearings, clutch, pressure plate and flywheel)
• two bearings in the clutch assembly – one was bad, one was fine
• Decarbon the secondary air ports from the intakes to the exhaust
• Gas cap – the gasket finally went at 186,000+ miles
• Check valve and carbon canister on the vapor recovery system for the fuel tank
• normal services done on time
• brake pads (only on the 4th rear set and 5th front set - car has PCCB's and is tracked 6-10 days/year)
• oil changes every 5000 miles religiously – Mobil 1 0W-40
• tranny and diff fluids every 60,000 miles
• Baileys DV's
• GT-3 Cup front brake ducts
• Idler pulleys
• Belt (done a couple of times)
• Suspension will be replaced shortly (KW Clubsport)
• Carden shaft will be replaced (second time now) when the suspension is done
• All four half shafts will be replaced with the suspension
• Motorsport Sways and Tarett drops links will be replaced with the suspension
• Protomotive intercoolers going in when suspension is done
• Two rear heat shields will be replaced when the suspension is done
The car is on the original turbo's, original clutch and original engine still.

T2 did I read somewhere that you are from New England and you are driving your car in winter? Salt, slush, rain + you are tracking your car! Amazing, may be that is one of the aspect of this kind of car it should not be a garage queen, but driven daily!
