I have wanted this model for a long time and in 2018 I was able to pick this one up. The body was well-cared for and came with a lot of receipts. Previous owner had installed a new ej257, which shortly after I brought home had cooling/head gasket issues. I took the car to a mechanic, who (long story short) botched the job badly, leaving me with more issues than I started with. I took most of 2020 reviving the motor, converting to a vf52 w/supporting mods and had the car tuned by JR at Six Star Performance in Pittsburgh. Lately I've been working on suspension (Fortune Auto 500 coilovers and I'm working my way through Whiteline's catalog). Thanks for your consideration, I'm looking forward to the event!
