You should be worried about the rocker panels, fenders, floor, and door bottoms. At least the exhaust is easy to replace.

I have had my 13 fr-s from new and am around 35K miles. At the rate I am going I might be looking at at least replacing the dampers...

I don't have one of these on the car, but it just sounds like normal belt "squeal" to me. Usually resolved by increasing tension or changing to a different brand of belt.

I would love to see this work with pump gas and a stock block. It would give the room for growth that seems to be the biggest shortcoming with the 210. What about making an "underdrive" smaller...
