Oil pressure is low at idle. One trick is to use a 3000gt VR4 oil filter. It helps raise the oil pressure in the head and can quite lifter tick. Next oil change thats what im putting in. Smoke out of the exhaust after its warmed up is a bad seal on the turbo. Mine did that too. It can be fixed with a rebuild. Just buy a 14b and a install kit. should be about 200-250 Better turbo.

I would low ball the shit out of him. 2800-3200 max

I paid 700 for mine(95) with a bad engine that turned out to be ok. Dude broke 2 flexplate bolts and the rear mount crumbled in my hands. I was lucky. I still put a new engine in but I have a spare now :)
