Well I have decided its time to part with this beauty. It is my daily driver and is a blast to drive everyday. There is lots and lots of parts I have replaced and fixed since owning the car to make it nicer looking and to make it more reliable. The car is sure to excite just about anyone with how light weight the car is with the fast spooling stock turbo. The beauty of this swap is it all came from one donor car so the miles on the cluster represent the miles on the swap other than the rebuilt motor. Because the complete wiring was used you also have the DCCD work just like it does in the car stock.
The motor was torn completely down this summer to bare block to have the decks and heads flattened, Then rebuilt with all new OEM gaskets, OEM Oil pump, OEM water pump, All new OEM idler and tensioner pulleys, Gates kevlar timing belt, ACL race bearings, New OEM piston and rings, and ARP headstuds. While the motor was out the TGV's where deleted and a AMR hard pipe was added. The heads where gone threw and the valves where lapped to insure a new seal.

Overall the car is head turner but like any older daily driven vehicle it shows some wear and tear. The paint is in no way perfect and has some little dings and dents. The interior is in great shape with very little wear. The mechanical side of things it is in tip top shape and will be trouble free for the new owner.
16,000 OBO and may consider trades.
