The car still looks good for it's age and runs good.  It has a lot left to work with.  You will need to do some work on this car to drive it regularly.  I am still driving it now so the miles may go up a bit (but not a lot).  I have enjoyed this car for quite a few years, but I need to cut back on my car volume (I also have a 300ZX, a Stealth, a Barracuda, and a V8 Audi).

I have owned this car since 2007.  I had it in my garage from mid-2007 through 2011 because the turbo was was blown (loaned the car to a friend for 1 day).  The car developed a bad oil leak last winter, which I believe to be coming from the head gasket, although I haven't had it professionally looked at.  Since the oil does not get into the coolant and only leaks out of the engine, I have still been driving it and adding oil regularly.  Be aware that the car also needs a brake line replaced.  I have patched it with braided high pressure hose, but if you really push hard on the brake pedal it will leak.  

I also have been keeping the overdrive off on the transmission so that the turbo will spool up quicker.  The transmission does not like to go in to overdrive now, potentially because I have left it turned off for so long. 


TEMS working (this is the computer controled active suspension that adjusts base on throttle position and cornering.  The "Sport" and "Normal" switch doesn't always work, but the computer always reacts to your driving).
600 Watt Sony stereo amplifier in hatch
Turbo is upgraded to a T4 (from stock T3) which gives about an additional 35hp.   I have not increased the boost but with a boost controller and a racing head gasket, the engine could be at around 300hp.
Rear tires are Eagle GTs with less than 1000 miles on them (cost over $300 for both).  The fronts should be replaced soon, but probably have 3000-5000 miles left on them.
Has removable Targa top with the original removal key.  Targa top stows away in the hatch when driving (see pictures)


Hatch struts are bad (see wood shovel handle in pictures which is included)
Oil leak believed to be from Head Gasket leak (no coolant in oil, only oil leaking from engine)
Rear brake line leak has been patched with braided hose but needs to be replaced
Targa does leak some
Dent in driver's side rear from where a homeless guy kicked the car after I refused to give him a pizza (seriously)
Engine blows white smoke under heavy load and when started after sitting for a day or two.
Battery drains if not started for a week or so.
Ignition key is broken off in ignition so ignition key is shorter that normal (see picture).  2 ignition keys included.  Both doors and hatch re-keyed to regular key and 2 of those are included.
Ignition works intermittantly with key so push button ignition override installed (under steering wheel, turn key to on and press button).
Some rust over the rear wheel wells
Front bumper is no longer shinny (see pictures)
Seats have some rips and tears
Car has some scratches and scrapes plus a few door dings (see pictures)
Glove compartment lock is broken

Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells.

Watch this cement truck roll into Toyota minivan from driver's point of view

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

If you've been having an easy day and haven't received your daily dose of unmitigated terror, then this video is for you. Dr. Guan Zhu, a Texas A&M professor, caught the above view on his dashcam in College Station, TX, as a cement truck ran a red light, lost control and rolled into his Toyota Sienna minivan.
Although he received only minor injuries, Dr. Zhu says that he blacked out during the accident. The truck driver also avoided serious injuries, and the Sienna took the hit rather well too. Scroll down to watch the footage and report from KBTX. Hopefully, this is as close anyone else ever gets to a terrifying event of this nature.
