Well-known member
Condition:
No major dents and decient paint for a 17 yr old car. (PAINT IS NOW FADED ON ROOF OF CAR, CLEAR IS PEALING ON REAR SPOILER). Nile Black with 95-98% tread life left. One small 1/2 dollar size rip on the dash by production # but can be glued back and Im sure would be hard to notice. Leather is hard and seams are ripped on top of rear seats, with some wear on drivers seat near adjustments... however there are no rips, stains, or tears (SEEMS HAVE SEPARATED ON THE TOP OF REAR SEATS-SUN EXPOSURE). 14b turbo crapped out 1st yr I owned it. Replaced with a very nice low milage 14b from a friend of mine. Compressor is ported and polished as well as hot side. Factory exhaust manifold had cracks so it was replaced with a EVOIII and was ported and polished to match the turbo as was the o2 housing (also a EVOIII). It also has a Keydiver EPROM ... stock took a crap and Jeff was nice enough to find me a EPROM, socket it, and chip it with every option (also have stock chip). Everything else on the car is stock.
Current engine in the car has no knocks, leaks, idle is steady, and compression is 160-158. Body has 180,000 on it, not sure about the engine and rest of the drivetrain. Tranny shifts smoothly but can be notchie in second if shifting over 5k. A/C and heat are both in excelent condition as are the brakes. All power buttons work. AWD and AWS are intact and work as they should.
Now for the bad:
When I put the EVOIII o2 housing I wasnt aware that it wouldnt mate up to the stock down pipe so I cut it at the end of the bend. The rest of the exhaust is there and bolted up but its missing about 1' from the o2 housing to the end of the bend on the down pipe. LAST YR DEVELOPED A DRIP BETWEEN THE FUEL NECK AND GAS TANK.. FILL OVER 1/2 A TANK AND YOU WILL HAVE A BASEBALL SIZE FUEL STAIN ON YOUR DRIVE WAY IN THE MORNING. Could use a couple of hundered dollars in body work and a nice paint job to finally start turning heads and get the attention it should.
I am not 100% firm on the price and will work with anyone that is interested and can give this car a good home... I would rather it sit here for another 2yrs in my drive way till my wife finishes school so I can finally have the money to fix it, then have someone buy it only to neglect or miss treat it and have it parted or junked.
Just noticed yesterday that the dash is lifting from the vents near the passenger side and there is some discoloration about the size of a 12" ruler where the sun has beat on it... so I'm dropping $300 off the price ... would imagine ball park of what it would cost to find a dash, ship, and get it installed. Should have car covered this car a long time ago.
New :
Timing belt pulley kit, w/accessory belts
Timing belt tensioner
EGR block off plate
Water pump
