Clarification: I'm in CA.
Caution: I recommend you tow this thing. It WILL keep running and start, but you'd be an idiot to do that. Here is the original story on what happened to it.
Doing the math on my end: Repairing it is time, investment and risk wise not feasible. I'm selling it at an optimistic parts price. I can't attempt any of the labor myself because here in CA, my landlord would personally murder me. Parts for this thing would be cheap - but you are definitely looking at a bit of labor to get it back in shape.
Parts:
New, wide tires and fancy rims (not from me)
Rocketchip ECU
17/22 Garrett Turbo
Some kind of nozzle upgrade too
ALH Engine (Durr)
8-month old plenty-of-CCA battery
Timing belt with about ~15000 miles on it
New injection pump
Spare set of floormats
Recent work done:
Timing belt (&water pump &all the other ****)
Serpentine belt tensioner
CCV rebuilt because the previous owner had modified it in ways that made it not pass smog
Current issues:
Needs oil pressure, yo.
CV joints could eventually use work, but are fine right now
Legal status:
Clean CA title & registration
Pictures:
When it's light out again. It's Silver, it looks fine and it hasn't been hit.
