Sold April 24, 2020 
During my stewardship, a lot of the heavy lifting has been done to a well documented, original car such as timing belt, PK tension upgrade, LH computer and MAF rebuild, new tires, rebuilt Brembo calipers and new steering rack. It is not perfect and still needs the heat fixed. I had Stephen Cramer at Autocore Performance Group work exclusively on this car and it just came back with a fresh oil change and new timing belt as well. No dash lights on however we suspect the heat problem is behind the dash. We’ve adjusted the shift modulator and put on a new cap to help smooth out shifting between 2nd and 3rd but it will still give a high rev every once in a while in around town driving. The tires may need need balancing as there is a slight shake at highway speeds. These cars need to be driven and unfortunately I haven’t done that much in seven years which is why it is up for sale.
