13,000 miles and almost three years later and mine still isn't fully sorted out.
Alternator wire broke. Cost me a battery.
Two thermostats replaced. four tranny pulls to diagnose and fix shifting problem. Replaced master cylinder once, slave three times, throwout bearing and pilot bushing four times, complete clutch assembly and clutch fork once. Grinding in reverse.
Three intake manifold gaskets. Leaking.
16 valve guide seals. Oil consumption.
Cobra valley ball joints, adjustable shocks and springs and several trips to the tire shop to get rid of front end vibration.
Three cracked windshields.
Four Tire replacement at 500 miles (sumitomos, need I say more?). Needed traction.
Replaced oil temp gauge. Died.
Replaced nylon oil pressure tube with stainless line. Leaked.
Replaced carb with prosystems dp once. Street avengers are crap!
Replaced valve cover gaskets three times. Leaks.
Replaced restrictive side pipes and gaskets. Choking engine.
Fixed parking brake. Adjusting nut fell off.
Replaced painted wheels with polished wheels. Just for looks.

Other than that, my car has been trouble free.
