NO, I'm almost certain that's not what he meant...
Oil pan gaskets, clutches, front oil seals and belts, etc. The belts need to be changed every 30k miles. If it isn't documented, DO THEM. The clutch is a serious PITA to replace, try to buy a car with a recently replaced one. Same thing with the oil pan gasket.
These are fun cars that if mildly neglected will cost you a TON of money to set back right.
don't you need an very expensive tool to do that timing belt ever 30,000 mile?
And they like to eat the #2 rod bearing when run on the track. Additions like a baffeled oil pan, crank scraper, etc help but don't seem to completely cure the problem. When the rod bearings spin, the cylinder liners scuff and then you need a new block since the bores are Nikasil (sp?) plated.

I've done plenty of them without it and never had a problem.
This may help:

Add an Accusump (as I did) and the whole #2 rod bearing thing goes away. about a $200-300 fix.
Old photo from my car. I have updated things (zip ties don't pass tech)
Great track car. By today's standards a bit heavy but HPDE and general track fun it is a great car.
Wait.. . . ya they suck!!!! Don't get it!!!! By not purchasing you are keeping the prices of these cars deflated so I can own them all!!!!
