-MINT ass seats, there perfect, soooo comfy  
-quarter 180sx windows  
-rear tail lights  
-front bumper w/ 180sx signals and vents

the bad things… When I bought the car it barely ran, was dirty as hell, and had the most ridiculous side skirts on it(i assume to cover rust,) I took them off to find rusty rockers, not that bad. Looking at the rust is better then looking at the old skirts. I cleaned the shit outta this car and nurtured it back to life and was surprised on how bad it ran on old ass spark plugs. I put new plugs in and it ran PERFECT!! Fixed leaky ass coolant lines, fixed the vacuum line situation which was a shit show when I first picked up the car.

Also the car has issues running when its not fully warmed up… It just studders a bit around 3000RPM if you try to boost hard. I blame this on the 440CC injectors. The previous owner had a t28 on it, but it has a t25 on it now, so it runs a bit rich, and runs funny cold, i believe a tune or a t28 would definitly fix this, and make this car 100%. Once the car is warmed up it boosts great, idles great, runs great and eats mustangs and rx8s.

I think that this car just needs some side skirts, stock injectors and some nice wheels and it would be done… perfect car for drifting!

Price is OBO, and will take trades plus cash for anything!  
Your not gonna drive this car unless you are serious and show me some CASH. This car drives straight, brakes hard and accelerates fast.

I have a parts car in the back yard with all the steel that car needs to be cleaned right up. Would you consider trading straight up for my 99 Polaris RMK 700 sled. It has an extended track and custom tunnel. Runs really good fires up everytime. It is very fun to drive but I find I am more of a water guy than a snow guy. I only rode it like 4 times this winter.
