No, I have not really addressed the oil consumption. I have a rebuilt a short block and i have a head gasket kit, but they are on the floor of Tommy's garage. I could either move my current heads over or get them freshened up first. I'd like to go that route as i would expect/guess i could get an other 130K miles out of the motor the way i treat it (lots of racing, lots of hard driving)
he took the turbo out (chasing down a coolant leak) and said its broken. which the last time i drove it the car made no boost at all (i thought i was due to being in limp mode Cel + flashing cruise) but i think it went into limp mode due to the dead turbo...
Anywho i actually just had my "make an offer" accept on Ebay ... they were asking $400 and i offered $300. i'm a bit shocked they took it (but happy)
