So...the day has come. Life has caught up with me, my garage is gone, have a new job, and I love this car. I HATE TO SELL THIS. So here's my story... I bought this car last year with a blown head gasket. The guys I bought it from were prepping the car for road racing, which is why the suspension, clutch and radiator were completely sorted when I bought the car. I was lucky enough to find a stock B6T, from a JDM importor in Compton, that had less than 45k miles on it and compression tested 185+ across all 4 cylinders. I had the new motor installed by Ivo at Renner Motorsport in Inglewood. Read below, the car is legit, legally registered, and fully sorted, ready for primetime.
Unfortunately, I just don't have a place to park it at my new apartment by the beach. I just got a new job that will take all my free time. And quite honestly, (pretty much all) business clients and (most) fine ladies don't like getting shuttled around in a (amazingly sweet and rare, fast pocket rocket) car with no back seat, no stereo, and no sound insulation.

Extras
