...yea, I must admit I probably wouldn't feel so bad had it not been for the head gasket. Even then perhaps not so bad had I not had those silly pins holding the chain guide welded in place!! I had a heck of a job drilling them out.

Okay, so I'm not feeling quite so bad, might have to do with the feeling coming back in my hands (whacking that slide puller to get the pins out killed them!).

So what are peoples opinions on the 230 Coupe? It's getting near time to replace my commuter (a Porsche 944 with 175K miles). Are the supercharged engines as dependable? Any serious issues with the Coupe to be on the watch for? I found a 2002 with 48K miles on it for $15K locally...
