If you haven't noticed, the calipers on the brakes are pretty large...so it's typical to scream like an 18-wheeler as you slow down.

Squeaky brakes are a by-product of aggressive pads. Go to a race in person (like ALMS or something) and listen. You'll hear some SERIOUS brake noise. Nothing's wrong - don't worry about it. If it sounds louder than normal, check the rotor for scoring (lines or scrapes on the rotor). If that happens, you have a problem.

Only problem I have is I've worn out the magnetic stirp from my credit card at the gas pump from being addicted to driving the car!

I had to have the throwout bearing replaced when I first got the car, but i'm now at 50K with no problems! That's right 50,000 miles! Oil changed every 5,000 miles as directed my Mitsu. Still on the stock clutch.

Oh yeah, I have thrown the P0300 CEL a couple of times.
