Engine 4age reliability

4age reliability

I am planning on a 4age blacktop swap for the summer. Unfortunately I don't have the funds for another car so I would still have to use the rolla as my daily driver. I know I won't get the same gas mileage which I don't mind too much but is the 4age reliable enough to be a daily driver? If not that will unfortunately keep me from doing the swap. I am in school and work 30 hours a week so I need a car that I can count on. Any input is appreciated, thanks.

it's reliable but there are quite a few tuneup parts (spark plug wires, gaskets, etc) that are not widely available in the US. What suck is you cant just run into a autozone or pepboys for parts if something breaks down. These parts are available from a few US importers like Pass Racing but these guys take advantage of the fact that these parts are not widely available and charge higher than dealer cost.

That's not too too bad. I can deal with the occasional maintenance issue as long as I can drive it without having to take it appart every month to fix a big problem. I know it will take a while to work out all the bugs but after that I hope it will be reliable.

sorry, i wasn't sure where I would get a better answer
