Looking to pickup a non running '93 Stealth TT tomorrow.

120mile tow one way, so I'll be renting a truck and a flat bed as all I have is a Subaru wagon.
It doesn't run, and has bean sitting for a few years. But I should be able to get it cheap.
Seller is fine with me running a compression test, so I'll be bringing my tools to pull the intake and plugs.
I assume he's already tried to start it.
Transmission was replaced with a 6 speed, otherwise I would have preferred a '94+, I still prefer the newer headlights, but that's minor.
After anything it needs to run (I'm currently suspecting fuel pump):
Drain fuel and install new fuel filter.
New oil and oil filter.
Plugs (NGK copper)
Plug Wires (they look brand new, so shouldn't need to be done).
Timing belt kit with water pump and hydraulic tensioner.
Accessory belts
New coolant
Transmission oil
Rear Diff oil
Brake fluid
Clutch fluid
Power steering fluid
Battery
Pads and rotors, if the calipers need to be re-built and can't be I'll upgrade to 94+ brakes at the same time.
If it is the fuel pump, I'll go right to a Denso 9500155
First few mods as they're cheap/free:
Rear Mount Battery
Remove rear seat
Lighter Manual front seats (old driver's seat is shot anyway)
Front Washer Fluid Reservoir Delete (using rear tank as feed)
Replace power antenna with fixed
When funds allow and in no particular order:
New downpipe and gut pre-cats
Cat-Back exhaust (It already has a good looking aftermarket exhaust)
Gravel coilovers
Aluminum 2-pice driveshaft
I'm looking into an Air to Water intercooler setup, bit more complicated, but allows for much shorter piping after the turbos, so I should get less lag when I upgrade those.
Fuel pump (if not already done)
550cc Injectors
Instead of a boost controller, I'm considering moving over to a standalone ECU.
I can fit a Microsquirt module, and peek/hold injector driver inside the original ECU box.
That can run everything for me, and it's happy up to 44psi (not that the car would ever come close to that).
That would convert it from MAS to a MAP setup.
It also lets me do ridicules things like launch control, or possibly flat shift / power shift.
The ultimate goal is to rally cross it, and I have a fondness for dirt/gravel.
Not exactly what she was designed for, but it'll be fun.
What do you think?
