Currently the car has a Sinsei Evo front bumper on it, but it's cracked so I'm replacing it with an OEM 97 front. It's being painted now so it should be on the car soon.


For 100% disclosure, here's the bad:
- small oil leak. I think it's coming from the oil pan, but I'm not 100% sure.
- I have JE pistons and my piston slap is pretty loud. I don't mind it because it reminds me that I have a built engine. :)
- has a small dent on the driver's rear quarter panel from some idiot trying to turn around on a residential street and bumped me. No paint is missing, just a dent.
- the hood has quite a few rock chips, but I might try to get it painted along with the new bumper. Not sure yet though.

I am located in Colorado Springs, CO. I can ship if you make arrangements. If you have any questions, shoot me an email or PM. I'm asking $8500 obo. If no one here is interested, it's going on eBay and autotrader in a week or so. Thanks!

Here's a couple of pics....

The power steering hoses are covered with red wire looming.

BUMP

Bringing this thread back to life. The car now has the OEM front bumper cover on along with brand new fog light covers and clear corners.

I dynoed the car last weekend and made 263whp and 296tq on 93 octane and 16psi spikes/13psi steady boost. The car would easily make 300whp on race gas and 18-20psi. See dyno sheets below....

Best horsepower run...


Best torque run....



The odometer still shows under 150,000 because I haven't driven it much lately. Basically the only times I drive it is to car meets on the weekends and to the dyno last week. I'll be posting it for sale on other forums and websites at $8,000, but for the 2gNT community that I'm sure will take better care of it than anyone else, the price is $7400.

I wish I could work some deals like that, but I need to sell it for full price so I can pay off my bike loan. I'm trying to buy a house here shortly.

BumpinTalon - good luck with selling your car man. And let me know if you get the money together.
