As much as I love those I say CP. I can see from the lead off photo a wavy front fender and missing rub strip

I'm no expert in these, but I still really want one.

My friend had a modified xr4ti with the 2.3 turbo. It was fast.

I'd have to say NP.

Its under 4k can probably spin the tires all the way home.

So I have played mechanic after the first owner didn't check the oil, so I helped a family member put a used engine in this bad boy, manifold to exhaust painin the ass to hook up and make sure nothing is leaking oil, cause a month later the owners gf got called down to the parking garage and a burnt car...

she decided not to tell the bf that its been smelling funny, oil feed to turbo decided to start leaking and dripping right onto the turbo which turned in to a fire... so long story short get one but make sure all oil leaks are fixed.

ooh there is pictures of the engine bay that enough should tell you what a pita it is to work on, things had v8's in them and that 4 cylinder is sucking up a lot of space.

Yeah my buddy's leaks oil. Needs a few cosmetic things.... he bought it just to have it and it has sat in storage ever since.

Say's he'll pull the motor out someday, and re-gasket it.

After his STi is done being built.

After he fixes the head gaskets on his DD 2.5RS.

After he replaces the motor in his '95 Supercoupe.

After he gets his white 2.5RS on the road.

After.....?
