Yep. The Cavy is officially for sale.
Mileage: Hitting 90,000 miles this week
The Good:
The engine runs like a top. I'm so much more satisfied with how the car runs now versus when the engine was turbocharged. First gear is insanely torquey again and the car pulls hard throughout all the gears.
Clutch was recently replaced with a stock clutch that has 44,000 miles on it and is gripping great.
The exhaust is quiet so you can hear the supercharger really well and your neighbors won't be pissed off.
The Bad:
Windshield is cracked. Claim it on your insurance after a couple weeks of owning it and I'll pay the deductible. State Farm doesn't have windshield insurance anymore. Otherwise, I would of fixed it on my own.
The paint isn't perfect. On the right fender, there's a tiny bit of cancer that can be sanded off and repainted pretty easily. The right quarter has a nice 3" long key gash that was on the car when I first purchased it back in July of 2004. Multiple other paint imperfections around the car which is normal given the age.
The Ugly:
The car needs a new hood. Over the summer last year, I had a slight oops with the car in the garage. I accidentally pulled forward a little too far with the hood up and buckled it on some stuff hanging overhead. The hood closes no problem and actually looks pretty good over 95% of the surface. The problem is near the passenger side bracket. The paint chipped off when it buckled. If you're planning on getting a different hood to begin with, this really isn't a problem for you. I have Drew's old hood sitting on the side of my garage that's in perfect physical shape, but doesn't have the best paint. If you're not looking to get a new hood, you can have this one to repaint.
