head gaskets 
i have had 2 of them
i have a low milage (33k on a C-reg) total standard one been stored for years, had it 2 week and head gasket went.
i have also been told alot of other people had the same problems.
i also have a R5 Turbo 2 with the engine in the back RWD thing but never used it, restored and sold.
tin box with a turbo.....
for the same thrills but abit more reliabule get a Uno Turbo Mk1 1.3 we had a 200bhp one which was mental and no matter how much abuse you gave it, it would always start up and go
