Got it for a song ($3000). It was 100% bone stock when I got it. No mods whatsoever. The guy I bought it from is a well respected DSM guy in Tampa. He found it sitting at a mechanics. When he asked the mechanic what was wrong with it, the guy told him the bottom end was fried. He bought it for like $800 and took it home. Turned out all that was wrong with it was the balance shaft was 180° out of sync. Since he had the car apart, he replaced the crank and pistons, as well as most of the small ****, and sold it to me for what he had in it. A car in this condition would normally go for over $5000. Had to jump on it.....
If you want AWD and a turbo, snag your self up a 1G TEL. All day long for 2000 or less.....
