Civic Type R Fd/Fn2 reliable?

[Bennyboi88]

So I'm looking at a type r as my mate had the Ep3 and I liked the performance but not the looks! My question is what's the reliability, especially when they get to the 100k mark which mine will inevitably reach (probs much sooner than it ought to!) any horror stories out there? Have another mate said his blow up at 90k but surely being a Honda this is due to previous owners not taking care of it and not warming it up etc

See that was my thinking. It's not a race engine but is tuned and they drink oil as higher stresses on things. The guy who blew his up was the typical boy racer type who drove like an idiot and never got it serviced or checked the oil...
