Installed Figs hood struts and gave the bay its first clean in 25 years. I’m replacing it next week regardless, but I can’t believe how good this OEM timing belt looks after 15 years and 44k miles.
Picked up this 2001 with 118k miles from the original owner for $2500. Dealer serviced its entire life and she saved every single receipt, never missed an oil change in 25 years!
But she wasn't much on car washes, parked under a pine tree, and bumped into a few things. Recent services had a list of pricey advisories for slow leaks from the cam seals, oil pan, rack, rear main, trans pan, and rear diff.
I always wanted one of these when I was younger, but worried tracking down a clean one was impossible these days, luckily this one fell into my lap through a coworker. It's far from perfect, but a solid starting point for the price. After spending the last 6 years in an IS-F and then RC-F, I've been craving something lighter and a little more old school/analog feeling.
