Hi-
I would avoid TCS, but the DI really is not a big problem. I bought a spare one on E-bay for $70 and have put 30k on it. A new distributor and wires must run $50?
I have a 1994, but most will say get a 96 or 97 as most of the bugs have been worked out. I have not had any unusual problems with my 1994 though. Everything seems to break at predictable intervals, and I look at it as a cheap car payment. I actually enjoy keeping up with the repairs. Some I do myself, and I send the more complex go to a trusted mechanic.
I feel like I am drinking Champagne on a Pabst Blue Ribbon budget.
Mike
