Hows it goin i'm joining this forum in anticipation of my Sti arriving in the drive way in the coming months so i just wanted to say hi and had one question i have heard nothing but great things about subaru reliability but those all came from indiduals with early 90's non turbo unmodified machines so are there any major reliability issues i should be aware of when i get my sti?

Reliability is inversely proportional to how much you mod it. The tranny is very tough, and many people pushing 400+ horsepower are on the stock tranny. The engine is pretty much okay all the way up to Stage 2 (turboback + engine management). Once you start swapping turbos and internals, it's anybody's guess.

Generally speaking, suspension mods and the like don't affect reliability, just driveability.

Welcome to IWSTI. Please read the stickies and enjoy the forums.
