BUMP.

She is back available for sale.

She now comes with an OBD1 datalogger (Shivver harness with palm pilot), Flex-A-Lite fans and controller have been removed and OEM fans have been reinstalled and wired in properly.

Why she is back up, Flysh had purchased the car. After delivering him the car she just died on him after less than 3 hours of owning the car. I went out to him and initially could not see anything that was wrong. The car started back up and ran. About 30 minutes later the car died on him again.

He towed her back to my place and I voided out our contract and returned his money. The issue turned out being the PTU plug was loose just enough to lose connection, but not enough to look unplugged.

Plugged it in and she was back in business. I have also redone a few things to the car since taking her back.

I have not been able to get back in touch with Flysh after the repair work has been completed so the car is back up for sale. $5,900 OBO.

She pulls very strong and runs great.

Monday Bump!

There have been some good questions on the other site about the car that I will post up here.

Whats wrong with the paint it doesnt look so bad in the pictures?

Mostly the paint is just old. The rear is all original, no pink and shines up nicely when waxed. But doesn't keep for more than a month before needing to be waxed again. Some panels have been resprayed and had a clear applied. There is some clear chipping.

Here is the worst section on the car. It is the passenger side fender. I had the fender, hood and front bumper repainted back in 2000 but they used a clear. It has not held up to well over the last 12 years. Please note, the front bumper has been resprayed just a few months ago.

Ever find out why the title was rebuilt in the first place?

The car was salvaged for a side impact first part of '99. The first owner was hit in the drivers side front fender.

The car was totaled, then flipped and sold to me in November '99.

I bought the car for what was a great deal at the time, a '95 N/A with 63K original miles for $12K. It wasn't until a year later when carfax became more popular that I found out about the salvage title.

And it's a fwd TT correct?

That is correct. The engine is a fully built TT engine with receipts. The block is a 2 bolt main from a '92 Stealth TT, 9:1 Ross pistons merged with 2nd gen internals and CAS setup.

I have receipts for the car totaling over $4K.

Transmission is the original FWD tranny from '95 with a SFR LSD insert, taller 5th gear, new 5th and reverse synchros (replaced when installing the taller gear) mated to a spec stage III clutch.

Some pictures of the car from this morning.





These were taken a couple of hours before the new owner drove her off.

She is now SOLD. And yes, the PTU is plugged in this time. haha

Excellent! I was about to say...if the car wasn't sold by January I would have seriously considered purchasing it. Congrats and save that money up for the baby!

Thanks, the car was only test driven 3 times, each time she was test driven she was "sold". First guy put down a deposit, but couldn't come up with the rest of the money. Second guy was the PTU issue, this 3rd one paid and she is off. I always joked that all someone had to do was drive the car. I think she just was waiting for the right new owner. Darn finicky car. haha

I'll admit, I am happy and sad at the same time. To help me with the sadness I put down the deposit to oohnoo for a FMIC for the '99.

The money is going in a couple of different places, a portion is for me to blow on my VR-4, another portion is to redo the kitchen and the largest portion is just to go into our account to have just in case.
