I've owned the car for around two months, but I tend to move through cars rather quickly. I have receipts dating back to 2003. It seems that the previous owner decided to make a few tasteful modifications and then rarely drive it for the following 15 years or so. When I purchased the car, it had on 13 year old tires. I put around $6k in major service and repairs into the car since it sat so long. Smog was just done and registration is paid for until 2018. This car has 121,xxx miles on the original motor, original paint with no signs of repaint, original seats, and has a factory option sunroof, as well as original owners manuals. I believe the car was in a minor fender bender in 2003, which is probably what led the previous owner to swap the lower bumper. Apparently it wasn't officially reported. No other damage occurred to my knowledge, and none came up in the inspection.
The vehicle is rather tastefully modified, in my opinion. On the outside, It maintains a mostly stock appearance with the exception of the boxed rockers & swapped valence. All mods were done by the previous owner.
I do not know the specifics of every modification made, but I'll list what I do know:
-Kokeln Racing intercooler
-Custom exhaust + turbo kit
-Custom intake w/ K&N filter
-Upgraded suspension w/ Bilstein shocks
-5 speed manual transmission swap (I do not have the exact info on what they swapped it from though)
-Voss Tek aluminum racing pedals
-Fikse FM/10 wheels w/ Michelin PSS (brand new)
-Momo carbon fiber shift knob
-Momo Mod 07 steering wheel (I did this one, the wheel the last guy put on was terrible)
-Alpine radio w/ original speakers
I don't know for certain but my mechanic estimates this thing makes around 450hp & sounds evil.
I will try to upload more pictures to Imgur or another image hosting site, as eBay only allows me 24 pictures for a listing.
I also had a compression test performed. Here are the results:
As you can see it's a very healthy engine with no weak cylinders.
Only known issues are a minor stress crack and some scrapes on the bottom of the front valence since the car is so low, and the driver side door does not lock from the outside. Feel free to ask any questions and I’ll try to answer them the best I can. Buyer is more than welcome to have a mechanic perform a pre-purchase inspection.
Please have funds readily available upon reaching the end of the auction. Only serious bidders. Please do not waste my time and effort.
If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be happy to answer them the best I can.
Thank you
