Oh... lol. Yeah they repainted where the scuffs were, can't event tell they were there. Been looking for a front lip though, since the bottom lip piece is missing from it. I like the Seibon DL, but I'm gonna wait till more pressing issues are dealt with first (suspension, etc...). I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but do you know the condition of the timing belt on here? I know the Serp belt is kinda rough, but been too busy lately to pull off the timing cover.

cody bought it with 60k and never did the timing belt. I would say it needs replaced. Im sure he would have done it if he had the money. As you know he was in high school when he got the car so he didn't have a job therefore no money to maintain that type of car. His family was cool enough to buy him the car but not maintain it for him lol. The serp belt was actually about to be replaced when he found that diesel truck and traded it in. He may still have the belt for it ill ask him and let you know. Oil changes for this car were expensive enough because we both only use royal purple. Ill admit the oil changed weren't done as often as he would have liked but what can ya do.
Ok... well at least I know what I'm working with. I really don't want to go through the timing belt failing like I did with the Ralliart. That was a huge PITA. I'll just pick up what I need this weekend and replace the Timing, BS, and Serp belts... The shocks are gonna have to wait till tax time unfortunately, but those belts need to be done ASAP.

Yes I agree. The last thing you want is that thing jumping time and valve hitting piston. If that did happen I would just put an entire motor in it. I may have a set of stock shocks and springs. I say I may because right before I bought my car the previous owner switched it over to the evo 9 mr suspension so he may still have it. Let me know if you are interested and ill ask him.
That would be great if he still has the stock suspension... I'd like to get it replaced as soon as I can, but the cost of brand new struts and springs all around is a little much to do till tax time comes around. Hopefully the used (but still functional) stuff will be a good bit cheaper.

Not too worried about the stock IC and piping... what kind of shape is the turbo in? And is it a 9.8 or 10.5 hot side? Shoot me a PM with prices if possible.
The turbo needs a rebuild. I do see them needing a rebuild go for around $100. He would probably sell it to you for around half that. Rebuild kits are pretty cheap...
