In Reply to: MAKE SURE the maintenance was properly done on that car. oil changed every 2k. YES, 2k. any more, and no sale..... posted by Matt on July 23, 2002 at 00:07:22:
I agree there are a bezillion things to look for.. But I have been around the car for at least 2 years and seen it on the track and on the street - it's been a very reliable car so far. Has a few sensible mods - new Fluidyne, Apex'i exhaust, Blitz intake, etc. I will look into the lower rad hose - hadn't heard that. It has boiled over once when the air separator hose popped off during a track session, but everything was fine after we replaced the hose. The only known problem is notchy 3rd and 5th synchros. Get to drop the tranny again... The thing is like working on a big green Chinese puzzle. Anyway, I figure if I am gonna get one, it's better to go with a car I have been around for a couple years than one I have never seen before. -Jacob
Not sure what the oil change interval has been but the car gets a strick diet of Redline. I know the people that bought it new and I have personally done lots of work on it. Put in an ACT not too long ago (PITA to the T).
