I bought this car as a daily driver and the turbo project took on a life of it’s own. This car is not pretty but it is fast. It does have rust and if you are looking for a pristine ride, this is NOT the car for you. If you are looking for a fun, fast car that is inexpensive, this is it.
I have been using it as a daily driver and it has been very reliable. I am running stock boost and that has been plenty so far. It has a 4-speed manual.
It is fast and it is fun. I am pretty sure that it would be safe to say that this would be the fastest e12 that most of you (not all, especially not Zane) have ever ridden in.
I have to sell it because I have way too many cars and I just sold my house, which had a 4 car garage.
Please ask if you have any questions and let me know if you need additional pictures or would like to take a look at it. The car is located in the Chicago area.
Make me an offer on it.

I also have a Metric Mechanic 3.7 Sport motor with approx 45k miles and a 5 speed.
Thanks,
