oh man, i see that thing all the time, its a shame to see it leave town ....

There's another black GTU here in town a older lady owns, and bought new, its for sale, but only has the sighn in it, i have looked for places she might have posted it but never seen it there. Talked to her one day, and looked at it, its MINT, 65K original miles, always garage kept, a real beauty, i think she was asking 3500 for it

But yeah, shame to see another rotary leave corvallis if it does, not enough around here in my opinion

is it just me or does 3 clutches and a tranny seem a bit much for this car? seems like someone might have been a bit rough on it.

What does a vacuum leak have to do with the builder?

Let's see, are there any hoses under the hood that the installer might have missed?
Nah, couldn't be.

Could any one of the multitude of hoses be cracked?

Probably couldn't be the Bypass Air Control either.

Nah, couldn't be any of that stuff in a 24 year old car.

Damn! All the good finds seem to be in your neck o'the woods.
If only I actually had a garage to store/rebuild in, I'd freakin love to do one of these from the ground up, my way.

If I had 200 on me now I'd go get that. have AAA tow it home for me. install the FB's engine into her. or steal the roll cage and put it in mine... witch ever would be easyer.
