well i got the car for 500 and it needed alot of love. (new diff, tune up, seals, hugh sway bars and the usual upgrades) Ive only had the car for about 2 months now (yes im friggin hooked) it burns oil pretty excessively (leaks it still too) about 1 quart a week of commuting about 80 mi a day (curvy costal roads)
the compresion is good and even on all but #2, its about 15 psi short. im thinking rings because the only time i see smoke is when i engage the clutch and accelerate theres a nice puff.
ps its the car on the left in the pic
