I also need to take it back to the seller's shop. In the need to legalize it, I need to get it smogged. Right now it is sitting with a 3 diameter pipe that goes all the way down the underside. She is loud and proud, none of that lawnmower ricy stuff. The downside is that it has no cat. That is in the truck right now. So hence the visit to the guy's shop and he will swap it for me for free.
He also said he can hook me up with someone who can install a tuning computer (not sure of the exact name) that I can self tune using a computer program and not have to go to shops to do it for me. That can be a good advantage for the future. But yea... everything works in it. All the stuff I poured money in to fix has already been done. Maybe if I ever do anything, would be to lower it on adjustable coilovers if I ever do.
On to some info on it. The old owner replaced a lot of the upper engine. Rebuilt heads, pumps replaced ect. Everything pretty much mechanically works. Only thing I had to do on Sunday was give it a fresh battery. His was going bad, and he had to jump my car once on the way home when I stalled out. I have not stalled out in a long time, but thanks to his stage 4 clutch, I can get used to that again and also build my left leg muscles. This car was planned to be a high HP racecar, hence the clutch. Right now he said it is still around 300. That is all I'll ever need.
I was able to get home safely and I think only stalled 5 times before I had hit the highway. Once I get the plates (or temporaries) I plan to drive around and learn again. I'll post pictures here too, but you have seen the same pictures in the panda's thread. I plan to take more. Maybe a video too.
The single pipe. One thing I noticed, is that the driver side rear light is the JDM orange tip... at least that is an easy fix. I was going to install my own pair of orange tip lights anyways lol.
There is http://www.ypass.net/misc/3sinfo/story.php that also tells the history of my VIN. Thought I would add it here. Pretty cool that mine is the 81st car built in the first year of the 3000gt.
