I think this really depends on how you drive your car... ;)
But also depends on the car as well... ^_^:

I say the tranny ... I find that's the weakest link in most vehicles ... if your setup is good, the motor should last.

Is it an auto or manual?

Oh shit, voted wrong... hehe forgot you had Auto Tranny :D.

I know quite a few ppl with broken MT's in 2.5RS's after turbocharging... but I heard autos are much stronger.

Not too sure 'bout the RS, but we know where the weakpoint is in the WRX! :rolleyes:

the automatic is suppose to be stronger..... but not as strong as most people would think. after doing a bit of research, like the 5-speed... people have busted the automatic tranny. with that siad... i try to be really nice to the tranny. lol. the engine on the other hand...... haha. i guess time will tell.

Well...I would usually say tranny. But in my case, my engine blew at 549 miles. So...I don't know.

That's because you have an E46M3. The blown motor was inevitable.:D

I think its going to be your bank account if you keep playing Initial D hardcore like you do

well buddy, it depends, is all your shit stock, how hardcore do you drive, and performance modz, you should go to a proffesional technician though, to get the best opinion.

Yeah, but the free 6 year warranty is still cool. :)
