This car has been my daily driver since moving to Las Vegas in 2004. It has a hardtop, and the soft top is in great shape, no rips or tears. Two years ago I installed a Megasquirt, and six months later I installed a turbo system. It is a very dependable combination, and has seen multiple autocrosses and a track day. It made 145 rwhp @ 6 psi, and spins the tires in second @10 psi. Due to the nature of running a standalone ECU, you should be prepared to have access to a laptop for troubleshooting and tuning. It has passed smog twice with the Megasquirt, once with and once without the turbo. The stock ECU is in the car and running idle control and the AC, while the MS controls the fuel, ignition, and boost control. The tune right now is great except for two things. The idle has a bit of oscillation which is most apparent during warm-up and minimal when cold or hot. Second, cold start needs a bit of work. When it is cold the car may need to be re-fired or may need throttle during the first few seconds of running. It gets about 24city/ 30hwy, and uses a bit over ½ quart of 10w30 every 3000 miles.

obo?

 

Maybe if nothing happens for a while, but I'm not desperate to get rid of it. Do you think I have overvalued it?

 

Hi, PM sent.
