The Bad
The car will need new tires at some point not much tread left.

Also could use a turbo upgrade to see full potential of the engine swap.

I am going to ask $4,000.00, if your interested make an offer, i will probably take the best offer i get.

Im located in central MA and available any time for questions or if you'd like to look at the car.

Is that a T7 DI cassette or a T5 DI just painted black to match? From what I've heard it should stick with the red DI since it is a 9k motor because the DI's have different sensitivities to knock and such.

t5 can use black
t7 cannot use red

What are you looking to replace it with?

spanky · Apr 9, 2011

A motorcycle would tempt me.

I know T5 can use the black DI, but I remember reading in a few places that if you want it perfect, you should stick with the red DI because of differences in sensitivity. I know it's on here somewhere.

T5 painted to match.

love the car, ive been wanting to do a b234 swap into a 900/9-3 for a while now. good job

How does it do MPG wise? Any better - closer and clearer pictures of the strut towers under the hood - rear wheel arches and floor pan including under sides of doors? Somewhat interested for someone or myself. Being it's a northern car I am VERY concerned on the status of it's rust - as you can not honestly tell me there is none, I know those cars fairly well.
Also - has there ever been struts or stocks replaced? Strut mounts look original!
Any interior pictures?
Thanks!
