Old Forum head, New 8 Owner.
 
Old School forum user here, so don't worry I search and lurk more than I ask. Not my first rotary, but is my first 8. Running and driving for less than 1k. needs to be "unfucked" in a few ways.

04 GT Auto
133K on the clock

Has:
UNK CAI (Pending removal)
UNK Header/Midpipe (Pending removal)
LS2 Coils and wires upgrade(P.O Stated, and verified they aren't factory, have to get a better picture)

Needs:
to be rebuilt in all probably (Low power, hot start garbage, "yadda yadda")
All Recalls done
New Shocks/Struts
lower skid plate/factory diffuser
passenger mirror cover

Really im just gonna tinker with it, might as well have been free for all I actually paid for it, gonna take it to the dealer for recalls this week, get compression test done and buy the Zoom Zoom kit and Try to de-carbonize to see if it cleans up idle issues.
Its rough and slow, but it does start and run, Might go through and do all the recommended service stuff in the newbie section piece by piece and report back as i go.

Always wanted one as they were coming out when I was in college and always wanted one. Figured for this cheap I can bust knuckles, have fun, and worst case junk it when broken. Best case have a neat little wish list car.
