all stock GTS coupe. Picked it up for $425 with a siezed engine. Put my old engine that I swapped out for a 4agze into it, and here it is. I had some problems with a couple injectors that decided to stick, but that was solved. Just needs to be timed and has some odd idle surge. Might be from the timing being a little off. Thought I would share. This car won't have a build thread as I probably won't have this car much longer.

yeah. I paid a decent amount for it, buuuuttt with just a few little dings here and there and the clear coat coming off in spots... I figured it was worth it. I'm thinking Imma have a guy PDR the car for me... if he's willing to do so. Clean it up, and make it pretty again. The interior is damn near perfect as well! It's got a lot of aftermarket parts on top of the goodness of the car. To be honest this is probably the nicest car i've ever owned... hahaha.

I almost feel like I need to create a "Reviving Cars" thread and post up the cars I get and bring back to life... lol


Afterkmarket goodies/reliablility mods:
Greddy exhaust, Sparco steering wheel, NGK wheel hub, sparco short throw shifter, sparco shift knob/boot, sparco ebrake handle, 2002 instrument cluster, bigger "PF" or "PIF" intercooler, All aluminum radiator, aftermarket turbo intake pipes both have K&N air filters, SSR wheels, all new vacuum lines, new aftermarket clutch (cant remember what brand he said), unknown brand Carbon Fiber hood that needs some work..or replaced, and a few other things.

The bad on the car:
dings in the body, and engine running horribly rich.

When I first got it, it wouldn't even stay running on it's own. Disconnected the wire from the MAP sensor to the instrument cluster, and now it runs on it's own but crazy rich. Tested the vacuum solenoids and not 1 of the 9 passed the test procedure. So I'm just going to eliminate the emissions portion of that, and run the simplified sequential vacuum setup.

here's another picture.

Also what simplified sequential vacuum setups are for hahaha i'm seriously not joking about the 45 feet of vacuum lines either... they recommend when changing the vac lines out to get 35 feet of 4mm and 10 feet of 6mm.....

Here's the stock vacuum diagram.....

here's what I'm going for....
