I just can't say enough good things about the turbo coupe. I got it with 80k and it just rolled over 200k. I don't drive it easy and it has required very little work to keep it on the road. It has a solid 100k miles running 20 psi and the motor is in great shape and still runs as hard as ever. It's not as pretty as when I got it but who needs pretty when you can spin the tires from a second gear roll on a dry road.

Congrats!! Around here, they don't usually last that long. They can run that many miles, the bodies just disappear....

Zero rust around here! I did give the car a check over and an oil change with Mobil1. I also pulled some boost from around 24-25 psi back to 19-20 and gave it a couple more degrees of timing. I like it better that way. More power at lower rpms and less of a TQ hit at 3800 rpm that would break the tires loose easy in second. Now it still spins in second from a roll but it's not so hard to control.
