Ok been lurking for a few days now figured I'd get this part done. New to me 1998 GTP Gold with Black Leather 100k on the clock. Clean no rust no tears. Current mods include:
DIY intake - temporary with the pvc elbow cuz well i had the **** laying around figured what the hell. Other than that the car is 100% bone stock and well taken care of with a few minor exceptions.
Suspension:
Ride height set by the 4 blown struts mod.
Passenger side Diagonal brace missing. (Looks like it was removed to change the battery and forgotten about.)
Brand new tires though so BONUS (unfortunately some hard compound michelin's that squeal on every turn no matter how slow)
Interior:
So far so good on the interior it is very well kept and very clean. I broke the tab on the driver side switch panel when i pulled it apart to push the mirror adjust knob back through. Needs a good wipe down and the radio is a little schizophrenic if you dont use the steering wheel controls. Fan adjust buttons are faded through as are most of them.
Exterior:
Dirty as hell mod currently installed. (What is up with the side moldings turning blackish on every one of these i have seen around here)
No rust but as before mentioned needs 4 struts in the worst kind of way. Passenger side mirror was hanging on by a thread when I got it so I had a buddy that works at the local JY pick me up what he could find until a gold one comes along.
Drivetrain: Supercharger coupler rattles and SC oil seal is leaking. Other than that no leaks and runs strong. LIM are the cheap plastic but seem to be ok for now.
Plans: Probably wont do much as it is a DD and I have to keep the mpg up. I am however going to have said buddy pick me up an extra SC and since I work for an engine manufacturing facility I will port the SC and CNC a silencer block off plate and TIG it in place while I do a total rebuild of all the bearings and seals. Might as well since it wont cost me anything but parts. I plan on using timken bearings all around. I plan to redo the intake with something a little less DIY when funding permits but as always wife and kids come first. If momma aint happy then aint nobody happy right? Would like to paint the rims as they are close enough to pre-gens that i think they just need some gunmetal rim paint and will be good to go. Will probably space the spoiler this weekend to fix/prevent the rust issue there. Hopefully its not too bad.
