Before we start let me tell you what is wrong with the car I had invested about $7-$8000 in the transmission torque converter arcarr the transmission has several thousand dollars Investment, lots the heavy-duty components steel drum shift kit I believe a 10 or 12 vane pump. However the transmission developed a leak in the front seal and all of its transmission fluid have drain out. you can attempt to fill the transmission but it will drain out very quickly the transmission has about 4000 miles since it was rebuilt. However the trans break has pushed its limits I would consider installing new seals and clutches all of the hard parts are either new or mechanically sound I would have to say. Over the 10 years I've owned this car I've invested approximately $28,000 the car is capable of running 11.60 on pump gas. These cars are notorious for consuming tons of money and my days are past of investing in Zero return investments it was fun why is lasted but I am now putting my money into a EVO MR. Let me see if I can give you a general parts list as to what this car contains, engine was completely removed at the beginning of this project and was completely rebuilt top to bottom the motor was meant to withstand 22 to 25 pounds of boost continuously. it was built by machine shop in Indiana. Total investment for this bill was just under $8500. Things bolted to the outside the engine are, exhaust gaskets are now copper, the turbo is a P 51 all exhaust is ATR, factory headers, crossover pipe is a ATR unit with 3 inch single Exhaust, Injectors are 60 pounds it has the airflow spacer plate in the Plenum of the intake, It has the larger extended intercooler that was almost $900 by itself alone. The car obviously has an aftermarket wastegate with aftermarket downpipe. Cooling fans were upgraded to a set of $500 be cool aftermarket fans. Aluminum alternator and aluminum water pump pulleys. All inlet tubing for intercooler and intake air are ATR along with respectable hose clamping. After market transmission cooler. Aluminum vacuum tree. Of course it CPU chip has been reflash for all onboard components and properly matched. High-volume fuel pump. Onto the suspension in this department we have cross drilled slotted rotors stainless steel flexible brake lines halk racing pads front and rear. The tires are factory size in the front and drag radials in the back DOT Approved. Onto the body the rear glass was shattered by a rock however I have a new rear deck lid it is red not white but goes the car the paint is extremely faded it is nowhere near an original shape small dents and imperfections, overall clean looks okay no rust holes overall extremely solid car. Interior contains a foldout stereo system and has a large custom-built speaker box in the rear that actually helps with traction. Both front seats or ripped treat seat is in overall good shape with leather interior is a Scanmaster inconspicuously located in the – but very accessible. The transmission shifter has been modified for the trans break so as not to pass into neutral when holding in first and reverse. The entire front suspension is also been rebuilt new steering box tidler arms & pitman arms tie rod ends etc. I can personally assure you that every part you could ever imagine buying for this car has been installed or is installed I built this car with a somewhat limited budget and never stopped installing parts I also have a garage of about $10-$15,000 worth of aftermarket and original parts these I will sell separately on eBay but would consider a package deal only for Convenience. Basically what you're buying is a car that needs a Soft parts transmission rebuilt and deck lid installed but other than that the car is turn key extremely fast, this is a great everyday driver or a track car. I've driven it for years and enjoyed every minute I will miss it much the realities she must Go. On Jan-14-13 at 06:58:03 PST, seller added the following information:Forgot to put in the at the car has a set of new 373 gears the Rear end was rebuilt approximate 500 miles ago. I will need to see if I can pull my paperwork however the posi rear was replaced with a aftermarket I cannot remember which type. I will try to find my paperwork and let everybody know.
