Other than a synthetic oil change, roof basket, and alternator, all modifications were done by the previous owner, who can probably tell you more about the mechanical work. The only reason I'm selling is because our family is getting bigger, and we've moved up to an Odyssey and my commuter appliance to accommodate. I was intending to use the car to get into rallycross, but alas, my priorities have shifted for now.
The car runs and drives great, but has many squeaks and rattles that come after 386k miles. It was my daily driver/hopefully-getting-my-feet-wet-in-rallycross car for the last year until very recently. Everything from the head gasket up is from a newer (1993?) turbo 940, with the boost set to about 9psi. The car was consistently "middle of the pack" in Modified Rear at Detroit Region Rallycross events according to the previous owner (artur1808 here on the forums who I bought it from).
It's kinda dirty in the engine bay, but there are no leaks. There is a leak at the pinion seal on the differential; it's not gushing out or anything, but the differential housing is wet and it'll leave a drip on the ground if you've been driving a while. Plan on adding about half a quart over 10,000 miles. The driver’s wheel well has some rust at the trailing edge, and there is some rust around the cowl/windshield. The windshield also has 2 cracks in it.
Asking $1800 obo. I'm really wanting to pass it along to someone here to avoid Craigslist. Located in Indianapolis. Email me at aphoff@gmail.com.
