In reply to johndej :
Today I had two different friends share the Marketplace list. I messaged the seller hoping he had more info on the history of the cars, but he didn't really share anything that I hadn't learned.
Then I thought sell the WRX again, and have a pair of race cars. One historic, one actually race-able.
I finally had the brakes looked at. My friend with the garage and 3 lifts let me know that apparently the front rotors were bad, but the pads looked almost new. The rear brakes were fine.
We're wondering if maybe the PO just replaced the pads when they felt bad and didn't check the rotors? I picked it up today after finally getting a ride over to Xenia to pick it up. Drove completely normal - 2 rotors, 1hr labor - $300.
I was ready to replace everything if needed.
I did some garage stuff recently, a bit on the GR Corolla. But while I was there and in warmer weather, I replaced the harness in the Celica. Bought from someone here fairly cheap, I'd like to put the lap belts in but not sure I could keep the OEM seatbelt and would wear that 99% of the time. Apparently when the PO restored the interior he covered up any spots where a harness would have mounted.
Even with the new harness being a 2017 version, it beats the well-worn 1997 bits.
