here is a summary...
2000 MT with 161k, stage 1 (giac X), original Ko3's, stock brakes.
Problems/Issues:
Valve cover gaskets leak, maybe other seals as well?? Oil smell is more prevelant due to colder ambient temps.
recently discovered intermittent misfires on cylinders 1,2,3 and 6.
need all control arms (replaced within first year of ownership...over 100k ago).
need front swaybar links (loud clunking sound while turning slow).
leak in power steering system? (heard moaning, checked and reservoir was totally drained).
leaking small amount of coolant somewhere (sending in oil sample...found coolant in oil).
boost leak somewhere (could be throttle body boot, f-hose or 710G's, yes G's).
steering rack?? front end is sloppy when hitting bumps in turns at highway speeds.
needs brake pads.
abs module is fried (3 beeps and lights).
CEL for O2's, had a cat die so I replaced it with Vast piggies (relocated bungs), but I've had CEL since for O2's.
oil temp gauge doesn't read.
slight grind while shifting into 2nd and 3rd, but only when cold.
need to replace brake, clutch, tranny and all other fluids except oil.
need a new tb/water pump within the next 10k to 20k.
Spark plugs changed at 119k
air filter changed at 134k
oil change at 156.6k

i kind of like the stiletto markings, she was dirty. i actually laughed about that one. i also hav
a mark in the drivers side rear door where another girl threw a tire iron/rod at my head and it bounced off the ground....this is AFTER i changed a flat tire for her.
