Getting a ty few q's

[wrx2typhoon]

Sorry another newbie. I want it to run mid/high 12's looking for one with under 50,000 miles.What should i replace upgrade to get these times and keep it reliable?What should i look for on a test drive?

All these reliability posts have me a little concerned.Trying to avoid as much trouble as possible with a modified vehicle.
Thanks
Adam

You can meke a stock ty run high 12's reliable but the thing you have to worry about is the tranny you will have to have some build it.
Here is a start besides the normal tune up that occurs with these trucks.

Yeah, keep the WRX. That way when your Ty breaks and it's up on jackstands you'll still have the WRX to drive. You can buy a good Ty for pretty cheap these days.

You should keep the WRX as a daily driver and use the Ty for cruising, shows, track, etc. 8)
