I am not as long winded as the others, but I will say welcome to the forum and to answer a few of your questions, a lot of us do not have much money either, worst case scenario sell the car as a roller and you loose like 40% parts value is high on these cars. As for the ims, it does happen so do not feel invincible but the way I see it is to just drive and enjoy the car, then replace ims when it comes time for a clutch drive.
