Nope, it still has the original water pump (newer belt though  ). 2000MY had the revised pump, so no threat of plastic impeller explosion. Not too many repairs (see previous reply to Davo). Original CV joints/boots, wheel bearings, ball joints, etc. A/C blows cold, heater blows hot. Best damn car I've ever owned.

Wow, that's awesome. Some good preventative maintenance I'm sure. Good job ! Looking good as well. I'm about to hit 114K miles on my 98.

Looks great and clean and tasteful. IMHO tint and SE skirts would help.

I like the car a lot. And you said that was the BAT kit? Aren't they supposed to sit higher in the front? I like your stance.

Thanks for all the compliments. Yes, it's the BAT kit. Anyway, just for info sake, I dug up measurements before and after the BAT kit install (measured from ground to fenderlip):
Before BAT kit (four wheelin' stance):
LF:27.0"
LR:26.8"
RF:27.0"
RR:26.8"
Day after BAT kit installed:
LF:25.7"
LR:26.1"
RF:25.8"
RR:26.2"
Today and 80K miles on BAT kit:
LF:25.1"
LR:25.5"
RF:24.8"
RR:25.5"
After three years with the BAT kit, the car now sits 1.3" to 2" lower than stock. Not too bad.
