I documented my work on the car over the few months, and took pictures as often as I remembered. The car was cleaned inside and out, and when I could, I put all new parts on. See http://www.xceedspeed.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1962766&postcount=2 to view some of the pictures.
The Car:
Amazingly, both the ECS and Active Aero work on the car. I removed the front dam and bar, to help keep it working. I'm not sure if the active exhaust works, but that's not something you really need / want anyways.
Breakdown of the Car:
- 40k on JDM Motor Swap
- 20k on JDM 5 Speed Getrag ( Output shaft is Perfect )
- BRAND NEW 0 Mile Getrag Transfercase
- BRAND NEW 0 Mile Stock OEM Clutch / Pressure Plate / Flywheel
- 116K on Body, with suspension / other parts replaced through its life.
The Interior is in great shape and the removable sunroof works great with no leaks or problems. ( The handle is not broken either! ) Unfortunately there are so many new things I may forget all of them.
New:
- Fuel Filter
- Spark Plugs ( BCPR-7ES-11) NGK Copper
- Slave Cylinder
- Flywheel
- Clutch
- Pressure Plate
- Exhaust Gaskets, Oil Crush Washers, Coolant Crush Washers
- Vacuum Lines
- O2 Sensors
- And More
Low Mileage, Almost New:
- Tires
- Slave Cylinder
- NGK Spark Plug Wires
- Transmission
- And More
The previous owner had AEM installed on the car, and cut the 02 sensor plugs. I have replaced the front and the MAF plug which were cut, and the car fires up instantly. Unfortunately the rear 02 sensor plug wiring is back in the harness a bit, and I haven't had the time since I'm living in chicago to go back to South Bend, and undo the electrical tape, and solder the new wires on, and get that working. The car only needs a slider plug on the oil pressure sending unit ( 5 minute job ) and the 02 Sensor wired back in. These are 2 things that are extremely easy to do, and I am willing to do it, and will attempt to at my earliest convienence. If you want the car for a little bit less, and feel comfortable doing those 2 things, you will get a VERY VERY good deal on a very solid car.
Modifications / Options:
- Removed the AC and Added Short Route Belts ( no tensioner, no compressor, etc, dropped a few lb's )
- Battery is an Optima Red Top relocated to the Rear with VERY large gauge wire.
- Polished Intake Plenum
- Powdercoated Valve Covers
- K&N Intake
- Manual Boost Controller
- E-Bay Downpipe ( no cats or precats! )
- Pioneer Head Unit ( flips around when the car is off to look like it is gone )
- Aftermarket Pioneer Speakers
I believe that is it.

Feel free to call me @ 574-360-4684 in the evenings. I will do my best to answer any and all questions. Of course this is a used vehicle. I can only tell you what I've worked on, what I've replaced, and it's up to you to do the rest.
For a very quick sale, I'm offering the car for 5,600. You won't find a deal like that anywhere.
WHAT THE CAR NEEDS:
The car needs the crank pulley tightened, blow off valve return line added, boost controller ( I may have one ), and the rear 02 wire soldered in. 2 hours worth of work.
Thanks

And for the record. No. I don't suggest driving this car 1,000 miles to las vegas. And yes, I have been asked that. I have not driven the car at all yet, because it isn't finished.]]>
