    Default FS: Turbo '93 w/ ~ 82k miles - Now asking $5,869

    I purchased this car in the beginning of the year and I'm about ready to free up some garage space to move on to something else. When I bought the car it had an overheating issue that was due to a huge leak at the exhaust manifold gasket. Since replacing it I have only been to the track one time, but the temperature gauge only started creeping on me once during 3 sessions on a 93* day. The temps were happy again after a single cool down lap :) This car is an absolute JOY to drive on the track, but I really don't get out there enough to justify keeping this. I will be moving to something a little more street friendly in the future.

    Basics
    1993 w/ ~82,100 miles
    Asking $5,869.
    Only trade I'm interested in would be a c5 Z06 (w/ cash on my end obviously)

    Please direct any questions to Stevenh766 AT yahoo DOT com


    MOTOR
    LINK ECU (Laptop and hand held programmer for tuning included, see below)
    AEM Wideband hooked up to autotune fuel on LINK
    Full FMII kit, installed for ~17k miles
    440CC injectors
    FM Intercooler
    Turbo Dual Stainless exhaust w/ FM Catalytic converter
    Aluminum 'race' radiator (From FM but they don't sell it anymore)
    Fan Mod (they are both on, fans controlled by Link)
    Turbo Heat Shield (not installed at the moment)
    Cooper S scoop for heat extraction
    Turn Signal Intakes

    SUSPENSION & TIRES
    Shaved Toyo RA-1’s on Team Dynamics Pro Race 2's
    FMII Stage 2 Suspension
    KYB AGX adjustable shocks
    FM Rear shock mounts
    FM Strut Tower Brace

    DRIVELINE
    1995 4.1 Torsen rear diff w/ new seals
    Driveshaft, axles, rear hubs/ bearings were replaced with diff, also from 95
    1.8 Brakes on front, slotted rotor on rear
    It has an upgraded clutch in it, but I need to get in touch w/ previous owner to figure out what it is... ZERO issues with slipping. I think it might be a Clutch Master product.

    INTERIOR
    Sabelt 4pt harness
    Foam-ectomied Driver seat
    1 Corbeau Clubman seat with bracket and slider (not installed)
    Alpine CD player (all speakers removed besides those in headrests)
    All Carpeting/sound deadening removed
    Hard Dog Hard Core Single Diagonal Roll Bar
    FM Boost gauge on A-pillar
    Momo Shift knob
    Momo steering wheel

    MISC MAINTENANCE
    New Valve cover gasket
    New NKG Blue Spark Plug Wires
    New NKG Spark plugs

    MISC. ITEMS INCLUDED W/ SALE
    LINK PC Link cable serial - serial
    Old Toshiba Laptop for tuning / data logging loaded w/ software
    Haynes manual
    LINK/FMII Tuning manual
    Fog Lights

    I can only think of two issues with the car at the moment...
    -When reinstalling the downpipe (after replacing exh. mani. gasket) I didn't ziptie the wideband cables down properly and the harness sort of melted together... It still functions perfectly, but if the wideband ever needs to be replaced you will probably need to clip the cable and solder up a new harness
    -when installing the cooper scoop I scratched the front area of the hood up a little bit. I just took some very very fine sandpaper to smooth it all out and get rid of the scratches. The paint is perfectly smooth with no visibile scratches, but it doesn't have the shine that the rest of the car does. Barely visible in the photo below.

    Outside of this the car has been incredibly reliable and fires up and idles perfectly every single time I get in it. The transmission still shifts perfectly. On the exterior the car is in pretty good shape considering the age... No dings or dents and the paint is in good shape outside of the usual wear & tear / rock chips on the front bumper.

    Yup, I bought it from him in February... I think he owned it for all of a week or two.

    But come on it's got a nice turbo! And it's faster than an automatic, I think that's all the proof we need.

    No but seriously this looks like a very nice car at an attractive price, good luck with the sale.

    Is that like "Can I use you Dictaphone?"
    "No, use your finger to dial like everybody else."
