SALE PENDING 4/11/2022
LOCATED IN BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON
ok. selling for real now
. READ WHOLE AD.
Car has 6,500 miles since build and semi-restoration (5000 of which were mainly highway road tripping across the western states). Would ideally be purchased by someone who is a fan of DSM and/or mechanically adept and inclined to fix all the TLC things that need done (see bottom of ad for list of issues).
Car is INSANELY FUN in all conditions, sounds incredible, and shifts/rev matches like butter once used to the clutch. Most recent maintenance not included in below link is a new alternator, clutch slave cylinder, rear hatch struts, windshield, Front LT wheel bearing, LT front ball joint and tie rod, addition/replacement of a couple interior panels, full-size spare wheel/tire, and new oem valve cover with custom pop bottle oil catch. While irrelevant since the car is restored, it is worth noting that the title reads unknown miles. Odometer has always functioned under my ownership and reads 106k. Title in hand and have a folder of receipts for nearly everything.

BUILD LIST
Originally 320 awhp p3 tuned for 90 octane
Only 6500 miles since the engine build and body restoration (body restoration was done in a high school shop class so it's not perfect, small runs on the lower body and waves in the primer and be found with the trained eye, but he did a great job considering) Car largely sat in the previous owner's garage until I purchased it 1 year ago.
MODS-BOLT-ON:
FP exhaust manifold, billet compressor td06 20g turbo, punishment racing o2 housing, 3" stainless straight pipe, fp intake pipe, vrsf fmic, electronic boost controller, avid racing poly engine and trans mounts, tial 38mm wastegate, walbro 255, fuelab 818 filter, fic 1050cc injectors, aeromotive afpr, jay racing alternator relocation, fluidyne aluminium radiator, aquamist methanol injection kit, DEI reflactagold tape, power steering delete
MODS-ENGINE:
6 bolt block .020 over, Eagle h beam rods, wiseco 8.3:1 pistons, acl race bearings, acl oil pump, arp head studs, 7 bolt head, 3g lifters, delta 272 cams, aem cam gears, balance shaft delete kit, ported oil filter housing
Mods-EMS & Logging:
dsmlink v3 full, speed density conversion, gm iat and omni 4 bar map, aem boost, oil pressure and wideband gauges.
MODS DRIVETRAIN
60k mile galant vr4 transmission, act 2100 pressure plate, act 6 puck unsprung disc, act streetlite flywheel, 91' shifter converted to solid bushings, autozone special axles (lifetime warranty ftw)
Mods-Handling:
d2 rs coilovers raised, front and rear strut bars, 6 piston wilwood big brake kit, enkei RPO2, Blizzak tires
EVERY SINGLE ISSUE I CAN THINK OF
- Under heavy rain highway conditions the car struggles to keep up electrical power (wipers start going slow, dash lights
dim, ect.) Why this is is beyond me - drives excellent under regular conditions. Battery is small and on its way out -
maybe it just needs a new large battery?
- Meth injection system is currently inoperable (been withholding the urge to boost like crazy all the time - supposed to
be spraying between 6-24psi) should be safe up to 14psi since this was tuned on Alaska 90 octane gas
- O2 housing to Downpipe exhaust leak (both flanges likely warped and need sanded down flat)
- AEM Gauges will cut out when interior fan is turned on/bezel also needs secured better
- Exhaust could use a bit more clearance near end of driveshaft
- Decel rear end vibration. This is normal for built 1g DSM’s (rear diff has been inspected and not faulty)
- Idle occasionally likes to drop until car fully heated up
- Coilovers handle excellent, but don't dampen bumps quite so well
- Broken front bumper bolt
- Headliner sagging badly
- Missing random interior bits (no radio)
- Driver window finicky
- One small noticeable scratch on front bumper, couple paint chips on fender, and some paint wear where fenders were
rolled
- E-brake need re-adjustment
- Steering wheel cocked right and the car pulls right slightly. Suspension is level and alignment corrected best as
possible, but tie rod is adjusted to maximum.
- Drivers seat belt slightly frayed
- Alternator belt slightly tighter than spec.
- Door side moldings missing
- minor oil leak
- radiator core approaching end of its life
NOTES:
- Interior pics are old car has regular seatbelts no longer have harnesses
- roof rack may or may not be included
