Eric is going to try to get some pics of the car...
his email is ericlangbein (at) hotmail (dot) com
the car is running good fro him, could use timing belt and h20 pump soon, as last change is unknown and water circulation is questionable.
This car has been reliable for him driving 4+ hours back and forth to pittsburg as well around Dc, and down to harrisonburg from MD, mutliple time is the last few weeks.
I have not driven the car, however Eric has been using it as his daily driver for the past month or more....he will be able to answer questions as to what it may need attention wise other thatn the already mentioned timing belt/tenstioner and h20 pump...good I dea to replace them all at same time as most of the work to do water pump is done when changing t-belt.
as far as the extra parts motor carbon hood, and tranny...those are not needed, but as you should know these cars are pretty rare and finding spares in junkyard is unlikely. ST185 motor that is offered as a spare is supposed to be a better motor than a 165 motor, but we can not run it in PGT rally car so we have no need for it. Same goes for the carbon hood...
we had it made for the car, it has vent hole above the turbo and exhaust manifold to allow heat to escape teh engine compartment. Steve Maxwell of Custom composites in VT made the hood, it mounts to stck hinges with hard points and closes with hood pins....very nice carbon piece, it is unpainted, and has stainless mesh in the vent....
the spare tranny is nice to have but the car has a good tranny in it talk to eric for more details....I have pics of the hood, on our rally car if anyone is interested in them email me.
We ran two rallies with it, before changing from open class to PGT.
It is extremely nice and light weight, fits all St16x cars.
AS far as interior parts for the rear of the car for sale, seats and carpets/trim etc are the same as St16x hatchbacks.......seats are same as all ST16x hatch and trunk not sure on convertible...
