its leaking from the connection on the hose that goes to the oil pan, its just a bad connection, as far as fixing it, you could prolly just change the hose, or have someone change the fitting on the pan itsself, to a screw type fitting, the one on there now is just a rubber hose with a clamp.
 
If I was closer..OR..The deal was sweeter...Sweet enough to make the trip...I would probably pick this up from you.
 
aww shoot, I just realized you have no cats... don't think that's going to work with DC inspection

i was gonna have a test pipe made up, with 2 cats smallerst i could find, so it would restrict the s*** outa it, im positive it would pass then.

this is a sweet deal, i dont know how much better you would like me to go, but 4k is well worth it, and my bottom line price.

i heard or read somewhere that the 1.6L can safely boost up to 18-21psi. I'm not sure if that is with stock internals or not. The reason why it handles boost so much better than the 2.0L, is because the 1.6L cylinder walls are so much thicker and also as mentioned before, the shorter connecting rods.

Bump for really nice sleeper.
 
got any pics of the dent? how's the gas milage? how's the clutch for daily driving? I do mostly highway, so I don't care, just want to know.

-RO
 
ill snap a few of the dented fender, its not that bad, once you get used to driving with the clutch, its cake. and the gas milage is still very good esp if your driving highway and stay outa boost,
 
thanks just so you guys know the car will be going on ebay very soon like mid week, so make your mids up soon, or watch it fade away on ebay.
 
someone snatc this baby up! how can you go wrong! most turbo kit's cost 4 grand...you're getting the turbo and te car for that price!! hurry up!!
