Service History - Rebuilt engine

Aftermarket - Replace the factory alloy wheels, HKS muffler, intake & pulley, Single fogger NOS system (not installed yet). Ported and polished head, disabled computer control of blow off valve, installed electric fans underneath intercooler, removed spare tire, raplaced cat with test pipe, custom oversized down pipe from exhaust manifold to test pipe, Just shy of 200 HP wo/NOS!!!

Audio Upgrades - Alpine in dash 3 disk changer/tuner, Boston Rally series speakers (mids in factory location, tweeters installed in air vent [no loss of vent function or air flow]). Bazooka 8" powered tube, Sony Class A 4 channel amp.

Notes - I decided to rebuild the engine while I had the head off being ported and polished. When the head was pulled I noticed the pistons were glossy, so in preparation (lack of $$$$) of future modifications to the engine (HKS level 4), I had everything redone. Valves, rods, pistons, rings the whole deal. It didn't really need it, but looking back at my decision it was worth every penny. It'll run another 100K, or until I kiss a wall.

Any Damage - Currently need to rebuild the transmission due to syncro wear.

Previous History -  I believe the previous owner was a woman in her 40's and somewhere on the west coast. Before I bought the car I came to find out that the seller had the following replaced to make it saleable; Exhaust manifold, oil hoses (braided), oil pressure sending unit, water pump, outer timing belt, both cam seals, crank seal, oil filter offset gasket. (apparently it had a serious oil leak)
