Ok this car has one problem and it is getting oil mixed in the coolant, no coolant in oil, oil stays clean. Temp gauge doesnt move past half, and doesnt smoke at all whether youre in boost or vacuum. The head gasket that is in it has 10k miles on it, head was resurfaced when the hg was done. The oil filter housing leaks oil so I think it could be mixing from there.
Im asking $4k. It runs and drives beautifully, its just getting oil mixed in the coolant. I've flushed it out real good twice and it keeps happening. Im ready to move on from this dsm though, Ive got an audi im just finishing up now so that should be a good winter vehicle.
so yeah, $4,000. Clean title in hand. Runs and drives great very reliable car and fast as well. Boost is set at at 15psi, fast and fun reliable dd.


1995 tsi awd with cloth interior, no moonroof, abs, build date of april 1994. Chassis has ~129k on it, motor has ~24K flawless miles since build,odometer just turned over 100k this week.
1g head, stock but has recently been resurfaced and tested when HG was done. Runs 20psi beautifully and is a pretty fast car.
The car spent time in new jersey so there are some decent dings on the doors, the hood also has some dings. Overall body is in good shape, NO RUST and no major dents. Has a 96 eclipse front bumper on it, with the stuff cut out to fit the greddy fmic. Looks good. Tails were colored black but most of it is coming off by now but they still look smoked. It has some "decent" 2gb gsx wheels on it. kumho supra ecsta supra 712 tires on it with good tread. It is missing the drivers side sideskirt corner, I havent been able to find one for it.
I just put a head gasket in about 10k miles ago, brand new water pump about 15k ago, new valve cover gasket and half moon seal. flawless 1g headswap which throws no codes, passes ny inspection without a hitch. Tranny shifts good and stiff, 3rd gear synchro is typical and makes a tough shift at high R's. Im trying to think of every possible thing about this car I can so if you have any specific questions ask me. Oil filter housing leaks a little. Doesnt burn any oil or smoke.
Hahn super 20g, greddy fmic, greddy type-s bov, RC 550's, Injen intake, K&N FIPK, 2.5" buschur turboback, rewired walbro 255hp, autometer gauges boost, a/f, volts,(only boost is hooked up) B&M short shifter, underhood bushing kit, fidanza 8lb flywheel, unorthodox udp, clutchmasters 2500 clutch, drilled/slotted rotors, axxis metalmaster pads

SAFC2- solid tune for 20psi, currently at 15psi for respectable DD gas mileage.

Engine Internals: Eagle rods, JE pistons, knife-edged crank, all new bearings, new oil pump 1g head, BS elimination, ac removed, receipts for motor build)
17" GSX wheels, kumho ecsta's
EDIT: Lower ball joints brand new on both sides(curved and straights), brand new tie rod ends, brand new upper control arms. Car also has SS brake lines and SS turbo feed.
Car is missing the interior kick panels that cover the ecu cage and wires.
Car also has a dual a-pillar gauge pod, "frog eyes" dual gauge pod above steering wheel. Safcs is mounted in custom plate over center HVAC vent with flashers, defroster and rear wiper still active.
Interior I rate 7/10 for a 13 year old car
Exterior how it sits Id rate it a 6/10, but with a few minor cosmetic fixes she could easily be an 8 or 9
Has an exhaust leak at the cat and a leak where the o2 housing meets the downpipe, just needs a new gasket.
Ex manifold was brand new stock 2g jetcoated, just apparently wasnt high enough temp, because its white now. But it is brand new.
I run ngk bpr7's in it, after 5k miles they still have a perfect gap and are not white or show any signs of detonation.

How does the chasis have 129,000 miles on, the motor has 24,000 miles, but the odometer just turned over 100k?

Looks nice though.

The previous owner put in a different dash cluster out of a 2gb. Yeah I dunno why either. But I know all the mileages are for sure

Looks like a very nice car with nice mods. However the oil mixing with the coolant is a sign of some possible very serious problems...

You said its a 1G head. Is the block still a 7 bolt?

The car is located in Binghamton, NY.

Yep the bottom end is a 7 bolt, with a 7 bolt knife-edged crank.

I didnt do the motorwork, if I did it woulda been a 6 bolt for sure.

Not in all cases. Try a compression test?
