Gearbox: 5-speed synchros wear, especially 2nd gear. DCCD (STI): Can fail, check operation. Rust: Major concern on 25-30 year old cars - sills, rear arches, chassis rails, scuttle panel, boot floor. All STIs are JDM imports - verify paperwork, check km vs miles conversion. Values rising strongly. Budget £2-4k annually maintenance, specialist essential.
