Mechanically it runs perfect, clutch is strong....flaws are listed below.
I've spent about $2200 on upgrades & new parts (not including the $500 i bought it for), and still have issues with leaks & clunk from the rear subframe. Car exterior is a 6 out of 10 at best....interior is about a 7, but can easily be an 8 if you clean the carpets. 3 rust holes (1 underneath windshield, 1 underneath the usual battery tray, 1 underneath the drivers front fender) and dings/dents throughout.
Hit me up at aesmilla@gmail.com if interested.
Things that need to be replaced down the road:
-Oil pan (small oil leak)
-small coolant leak (i've already replaced the water pump, and its still leaking elsewhere)
-rear subframe mounts? ....faint rear clunk on acceleration (happened after I dropped the rear subframe)
-speedometer never worked (never bothered me)
New or newer parts I've installed:
-new vogtland springs + KYB shocks
-new waterpump + gasket
-new valve cover gasket
-new BMW roundels (emblems)
-new sway bar front links
-new rear upper shock mounts
-used stock Recaro E30 seats
-used glove box + lock
-new turn signal stalk + relay
-used 17 x 7.5 Alpina replicas
-new 215/40/17 Falken 615s
-new hard brake lines installed
-new front rotors & pads
