No. Doesn't even matter if you keep it stock. That wonderful piece of shit will still grenade. It's truly amazing that people and fanboys still continue to buy these cars and platforms after how well publicized these issues are. I hear kids bitch piss and moan about the S55 crank hub issue, but it seems far more rare of a problem than the vast plethora of blown EJ's I've seen across numerous subie shops over the past decade and a half.
