My car, totally affiliated.
I've owned this car for over 4 years now but have decided I need to thin the herd a bit. Too many cars, not enough space.
The car has a rebuilt title. I've never really figured out why except the front bumper cover has been repaired. That's the only damage I've ever found.
The car is showing it's age in several areas. The front bumper cover has multiple paint chips and a few cracks from the less than stellar repair (looks good from 15 ft) and the front seats need to be redyed. They are cracking and don't look great but there are no current tears (1 tear repaired a year ago) or broken seams.
Everything on the car works. I have OCD when it comes to this. There is nothing that needs to be repaired. I'd trust this car to drive cross country and back without hesitation. It's been my daily driver for 4 years and I've put over 70K miles on it. Only 1 key. I have repaired or replaced various maintenance items over the years. Brakes, rotors, front control arms, e brake handle, fuel filter, radiator, hoses, belts, exhaust (still has the stock rear muffler). Professional alignment by Gran Turismo East. AC works great. Pixels are screwy though on the HVAC. They work when it's not hot in the car.
No sludge (oil pan dropped 2 years ago to verify), rear ARB, front polybushings, steering rack brace, rear transmission poly mount, Eibach lowering springs, Koni adjustable struts, Aero wheels, Kumho PA31 tires, rear upper strut brace, K&N filter, auto dimming mirror, Redline in the transmission and brake fluid has been flushed and filled with DOT 4.
$3300 as it sits w/ Kenwood HD radio w/ Clarion amp and all speakers replaced.
$3K with the Kenwood and Clarion amp removed (stock amp and radio supplied)
$3800 as it sits with all my spares
Spares: new top strut mount, rear brake pads, e brake shoes, good set of used Viggen axles, used Viggen struts (no springs), 2 good ignition cassettes, extra fog lights (multiple ones), various rear view mirrors (stock and dimming), various poly bushings, new tie rod ends, stock radio, amp, speakers, window switches, new CV boot, alarm module, door handles, regular black 9-3 front bumper cover, SE front lip, used front rotors, full slightly used clutch kit (less the slave cylinder), various interior trim bits
One note: I have the clutch kit ready to go due to occasional slippage. Sometimes the clutch will slip (mostly in 4th and 5th under power) and sometimes it won't. It's been like this for years. Never really understood it.
I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting but for the moment that's it.
Car is in the Atlanta area.
