06 STi so is a bit stronger. But never had an issue with the MY98. Had it from 38000 to 83000km and drove it very enthusiastically but never abused it. Didn't used to launch the 98 though. Save the piggy for AHG or drags. Nice to it on the street.

Think the big thing is if you do it all the time your going to break stuff. Occasionally yes there is a chance things will break and you will wear things quicker but if your nice to it 99% of the time you should be fine.

Choose carefully if you do flog it on the street. Coarse bitumen gives heaps of grip and is very hard on the drive line. Motorplex is pretty slippery ( especially if you go through the puddle ) is much easier on things.
