Yes you read that, this is my second speed ive owned. Reason I purchased this is because I got it extremely cheap, I am the 3rd owner and it was taken to the dealer every 5K miles for maintenance via the Car fax, somehow it is on the original turbo and seems to be making boost, I can replace it no problem as I have done the engine on my previous 2nd gen. The clutch was replaced at 180K miles. I have done an oil change and coolant flush is next. No record of the VVT being done but there is no rattle on start up. Doing the oil change the only leaks I saw was the Oil filter housing and the Pivot shaft seal is pissing gear oil so i am addressing that soon. I do need new suspension so does anyone have any recommendations? along with anything else I should do to it. I purchased this expecting it to blow TBH on the drive home but it made the 5 hour drive back with no issues. I am also planning to do a compression test which is stupid considering I didn't check it at the test with with high mileage. Please give me any recommendations with what to do I am interested what anyone has to say.
Purchased a 208K mile celestial blue 2nd gen

Where do you want to endd up with the car it would be better to use the current engine to rebuild from instead of having to find a good core.
Just want to daily it, get it road ready first by doing suspension
Then just rock it stock
