Here is the Actual PPI:
You might notice that some of the items are not "items" at all, for a race car. Such as "hood release wrong" (It's just a cable with a handle), or "Headlight mechanism removed" (The car has brackets that allow the headlights to be positioned either up or down).
All and all I think it's a pretty good PPI for a 20 year old race car. The big pars are all solid- cage, seats and belts all current, new fire bottle, good compressions, etc.
Some of the items are what I would consider "personal preference" items of the builder / owner- such as the oil pressure setup, or the fuel lines (see photo). I prefer new wires and new fuel lines to factory used parts- but that's just me.
Vinny at Gulf Performance did bring up some good points- One of the items is "injector harness taped". It hasn't been spliced, but I guess the PO wrapped it with electrical tape. Also the routing of some of the wires he didn't care for. If the injectors lose power from a broken wire, the car will not run. I bought a new Injector Harness from Linsey Racing, but I haven't had time to install it yet. The loose / unsecured hoses and airflow sensor are mostly a result of the removal of the stock air box- I am currently running a pod filter. Most of that stuff is secured to the stock air box assembly, which I have, should the new owner care to install it and secure everything to it. Again a personal preference item.
Some items I will be correcting myself as time allows, some I already fixed, like the brake line routing and tightening up the steering column at the firewall.
Regarding the motor mounts, I got a second opinion from Ian at 944 online, he seems to feel the motor mounts are fine, they are the good quality ones and they are not broken or leaking.
Also included some photos of the oil they found, gotta be careful with those oil changes. How the bolt disappeared from the injector rail is a mystery, but there's one there now
Anyway, for a backyard mechanic to finish correcting these items would probably take a whole saturday, so in light of that and the fact that I need garage space, I've dropped the price to $9,500.
Secondary PPI's welcome of course.
