Transmission:
Fresh rebuild this week. Previoously rebuilt by someone who knew enough to F' it up. The wrong axle seals were used and the tranny ran dry trashing the front and center diffs. I just finished rebuilding it replacing both diffs along with bearings, syncro's, axle seals, output shaft seal, breathers, clutch fork boot, and and drain plug washer. It has 50/50% Royal Purple 40/170 Synthetic and regular 80/90 in it. I also put fresh fluid in the transfer case and rear diff.
Suspension / Drivetrain:
Tockico Blue Struts
Eiback Pro Kit Springs
The rear diff is mounted solid with aluminum spacer in place of the rubber bushings. The drive shaft is also mounted solid. I just rebuilt both front axles and inspected the rears which are ok.
Electrical / Gauges:
New Battery
engine managed by DSM Link
GReddy turbo timer
GReddy gauges - EGT, Elec Boost, Elec Oil Pressure, Elec Fuel Pressure
Exterior:
The car is a beautiful black which looks good on this car. It was originally red but the prep work was done right. All the door jams, under the hood, all that stuff, is painted black. The only place you will find red is under the car and under the carpet.
The paint is not clear coated so it doesnt hoold up real well but if treated with care it should look good for years to come. It does have some scratches and many will buff out but not all. Its not perfect but it looks really good as is.
19x8.5 ADR wheels with 3 like new Falken tires. One was damaged and replaced with a good used tire, reason only 3 like new Falkens.
The side skirts are not factory. I am not sure of the manufacturer but they look good, yet close to stock. The only real difference is the air inlet at the rear wheel. One of them is cracked which is pictured.
It does need new door handles. This is a common problem with 2G DSMs I cold replace them if the new owner would like. The driver's side has a broken lock and the pass has a broken handle.
Tinted windows
Tinted tail lights - no more name badges on the rear
Tinted head lights - cant see shit at night though
Carbor Fiber Fuel Door
Interior:
Other than the gauges, its pretty stock.
It does have Momo pedal covers and a Pioneer stereo system with all Pioneer speakers. It was been wired for an amp and sub but they are not in place anymore. The shift knob is polished and carbon fiber. The center arm rest has been replace with a carbon fiber one. The rear carpet and tire cover are missing along with the spare tire, tools and jack.
Beautiful Grey leather. Some light wear on the drivers seat but in really good shape still. The rest is almost perfect. The ash tray is missing. The floor mats are new, OEM style though so they fit correctly.
Sun Roof - and it works!
Power windows, locks and mirrors - all work
Tinted windows
Over all the car is nice, runs well, shifts smooth, handles well, and is comfortable to drive. It looks great, I think. It could use a couple of things that are really minor in perspective. It could use polyurithane motor mounts. It needs some more tuning on the DSM Link, runs rich right now. The upper front ball joints need replacing. It is missing one lug nut. I just replaced the stud but havent picked up a new nut yet. I can do that I guess. It needs bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump before mcuh more power can be had. That is really all that is holding it back.
This is a friends car who is in LA going to school. She asked if I would fix the transmission problem, do the timing belt, and sell it for her. Thought I would get that out in the open. She needs to sell it to pay for school and cost of living in LA.
Asking $8500 obo
