you want a turbo 2nd gen? if the price is good ill possibly sell you mine. its running fine. idles a little above 750. a/c works, ps works, power everything works. umm.....the interior needs to be put back in, but i can do that. replaced the drivers front fender with another one. the only other body damage is rear "quarter panel". you can see it if you want. just pardon the interior. still not EXACTLY sure if i want to sell it, but i need to get some thing else off the ground first. anyway, just hit me up on the forum and maybe i can meet you up somewhere. i daily drive it as well.

you know, im am kinda unsure at the moment. i will list the "Bads" First (im the type of guy to hear the good news last).
Bads:
Body work needs to be done on the rear drivers side "Quarter Panel" (we all know its not a quarter panel).
Painting DEFINITELY wouldnt be a bad idea. the front is okay, its just the clear coat starting to come off. but, the rear bumper is pretty scaved. it has some black/white looking stripes. other than that, the body is pretty much okay.
there is no radio as of current, and i probably wont end up putting one in either.
drivers side demister grille is missing ONE separator. passenger is completely missing. however, the center column is new!!! so, there are no cracks on that
Transmission is kinda screwed up. Shifts fine (its my dd) but the 5th gear synchro is out (per usual) and i think the reset spring in the transmission is screwed up. theres like, this little *bump* you have to go around from 1st to 2nd. its really weird, never seen anything like it before. Also, i notice the shift **** is pointing 90 degrees to the passenger side of the car (thats as tight as it gets, and its tight, just sits oddly)....that pretty much sums up the bad.
The "Good(S)"
newer engine with good compression (when i installed it last year, had 115psi each face on both rotors (havent done a check since).
All emissions removed.
Front mount intercooler with a **** load of piping. much can be removed by simply going with an electrical fan however (the stock fan shroud limits route).
Koyo Aluminum Radiator.
A/C works! P/S works!
Centerforce Stage-1 clutch installed.
Walbro 255lph installed.
780cc secondaries. Rtek 1.7 ecu.
full 3" turbo-back exhaust.
Cross drilled/slotted brake rotors all around.
o2 sensor bung is already welded in, just need the sensor.
Light weight flywheel not yet installed, 9.5lb rb with rebuilt friction plate
oh yeah, twinscroll flapper door not yet removed as well (since the twinscroll solenoid is gone...)
relatively good rubber all around. no need for new tires yet.
pretty much power everything works. the sunroof needs a little "Convincing" every now-and-then, but you just have to push up on the sunroof from the inside for it to close some times.
not really any rust anywhere.
FD alternator
oh yeah, theres an aftermarket alarm system on it, but the keyless entry actuator was removed when i replaced the door with a non-dinged door earlier this year. although it DOES have solar-genic reflective window tint (the silver looking tint) installed.
so, yeah, anyway, if youre gonna be out at C&T tomorrow night then i can show you the car and you can see whats up. the car runs rich and it doesnt start to boost until way later, so....it feels slow, but it still handles relatively well! its not stock suspension. i think the previous driver installed monroe's on it before he sold it to me. but, yeah...i have it prepared for a 400hp car right now (i have 680cc injectors in my room i would need to get rid of as well. so, you could drop those in the primaries if you wanted to go larger hp right now). oh yeah, the intercooler core is 6" tall, but like, 28" wide (yes, the core, not with end tanks), so ive still retained the front bumper support. when it was getting installed, the guy had it flow tested with my stock intercooler and the aftermarket one. he said the stocker flowed about 300 some thing cfm, the after market flowed more than 1400 cfm. "good enough for me". so, that gives you an idea of how much it can handle.
i also have a spare engine that i am trying to sell. it has a waterpump, crank angle sensor, and the flywheel still attached. it had decent compression 95 in front and 103 in rear when pulled about a year or so ago. i will sell everything (car, engine, flywheel, injectors in my room) for about 4k obo. im completely open to negotiations as well. im also not in THAT much of a rush to sell it, as it is my dd. but, im just getting another car built for my dd before i starting going back to school. so, it would be nice IF i sold this car to be sold in about 2weeks to a month at the earliest. anyway, its obo, so haggling is not a problem, just no low-*****. i suppose this will go into the classifieds huh?
Thanks guys,
Ry.
