Two DIC's is bad luck, sorry to hear that. 80k is when my problems started also. Until then, only the SID, the pulleys, and some other minor things went bad.
There is a thread here about how to diy the fuel pump motor replacement. The motor is only around $120 online.
After mine failed I had to call around to find someone willing to replace just the motor and not the entire assembly with fuel lines. Even then it was close to $700 parts and labor including a new set of straps for the gas tank (corroded), fuel filter, and testing the pump to make sure only the motor was bad.
I have been able to reduce the coolant leaks to about 4oz/1000 miles by tightening hose clamps, and I plan to replace as many hoses as possible along with the water pump, thermostat, and temp sensor soon.
After the turbo, I would say the big expenses are the headgasket, fuel pump, clutch & cable, and timing/balance chains with associated parts. If you do all that, I suppose the chassis and engine will last 200k+ (chuckle). Not sure how long the suspensions last in these cars, but mine is starting to get a little soft.
