What are known issues with STis?

I have been hearing about the newer models having ringland issues.
Are transmissions still weak in them?

Got it, I confused people complaining about 6th gear. I guess they want a taller 6th for better MPGs - fuck that.

I no longer care for MPGs, the less the better!

I'm more concerned about what problem areas there are. Need to budget in what preventable measures can be taken.

I want to know if I have to build the motor right away so I wouldn't have to worry about it later.

Yes build the motor if going big power. Or go big power and build later.
