Greetings!
I am the not so new owner of #15/2000. I bought this in the Seattle area around 12/15/12. Long story short it came broken from a high school kid but was somewhat drive-able. I put 2k miles on it thoroughly enjoying the screwed up trans, oil leak and ps rack leak right up until the water pump grenaded. I neglected it for 6months and left it outside But now its on the road to recovery. I have it in a nice clean garage on jackstands with a good list of parts on hand to start things off.
Known Mods:
unknown BOV
unknown tubular manifold
Some whacky mix of exhaust parts welded together
To do:
oil pan replacement(crushed by previous owner somehow?)
replace front p.s. rack
replace trans with used unit(already purchased, further questions about this coming.)
replace clutch as needed once old trans is pulled.
driveline rebuild (thanks JNZ tuning!)
TS&R high idle issues (Bad ecu from bad caps at minimum)
Change from VTA BOV back to stock? this is supposed to help fix the hard drop in power between shifts under load?
TS&R burning oil (Turbo Seals, valve guides???)
TS&R power antenna (stopped working since I had the Car)
Remove and replace stupid boost gauge that just flops around on the dash
reroute and clean up vacuum lines
New wheel stud
EZ-OUT and fender liner bolts...oh how I hate you
