Engine

- AWR adjustable front and rear endlinks
- GT-spec trailing arms
- GT-spec v-brace panel
- AXR clunk fix kit (new brackets and greasable poly bushings)
- Red painted calipers

Problems:
1. The factory deck (which is notorious for giving out, has given out). I don't drive the car much anymore so didn't spend the time replacing the deck. Speakers, and factory sub still work perfectly.
2. Check engine light is one for a O2 sensor for the rear section of the exhaust. Time permitting, this may be fixed before selling the vehicle.
3. Right rear strut has a leak. I have the part number and it can be replaced from horsepowerfreaks or contacting TEIN directly and sending them in to be rebuilt. (TEIN recommends sending in both rears at the same time).
