This is a nice solid vehicle for its age. I dailyed this car for 6 month without a hiccup. Just had a major service in the last 2000 mile. The timing belt, water pump, thermostat, and valve cover gasket where replaced. Also a B&M short shifter, new guibo, newly restored BBS Malhes, Yokohama S-Drives and exhaust were installed. We ran a catless exhaust through a magna flow muffler and some may want to tone it down with a cat. Interior is in excellent shape for a 29 year old car. No cracks on the task (looks new), no tears in the leather seats, and a great stereo powered be an Alpine head unit to Rockford components. Exterior paint in a 6/10. It is a mostly clean car, with a little rust behind the front tires in the front quarters, and bottom edge of the rocker. Could be easily handle if taken care of now. Car was resprayed approximately 10 years ago in it factory color. Could use some touching up to be perfect. There is some paint oxidation on the hood and a dollar bill size oxidation spot not the passenger rear quarter panel. Top is in OK shape. I think its the original top, so it maybe due for a replacement. It is a manual top, so no worries about motors going out. The tack, odometer, and miles per gallon gauge do not function. I imagine its the gears in the gauge as the teeth on the plastic gears get brittle. This car runs great! Its hard not to stretch it out. The driver engagement is awesome, with the steering being sharp and direct. The shifts are crisp, and the response from the M20 engine is amazing. You will definitely have people wanting to talk to you about it.
