I purchased this car on Ebay from Massachusetts in Dec. 2004 and it's been a daily driver since then. I'm selling it because I purchased a newer vehicle and no longer need this car. The engine runs great, it shifts well, especially with the Jose short shifter & Centerforce dual friction clutch. The exhaust has an aggressive sound to it without any of the rasp.
It's a great car but could use some work. It's got approximately 187K miles on it. The upper 60K maintenance was all done at 150K while replacing the crank position sensor. The oil pan was replaced in 2006 and I have always used synthetic oil in the car along with premium unleaded fuel. Oil changes every 3,000 miles. Check the link below to see nearly everything that's been done to this car, maintenance and modifications.
Asking $1,000.

What's good about the car?
Performance:
-Jose Short Shifter!
-Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch
-Forza Flow Mufflers
-High Flow Cats
-Customized Stock Y-Pipe (rounded out 90 degree turn)
-K&N panel air filter
-Bosch Platinum 4 Spark Plugs
-Kumho Ecsta 225/55ZR16 Tires
-24MM front sway bar w/ TPR bushings
-26mm rear sway bars w/ TPR bushings
-Aluminum subframe bushings
-Rear strut tower brace
Interior:
-White faced reverse-glow halo gauges
-Mustang black shift ****
-Green LED vent lights
-Green Floorboard neons w/ sensors
-Painted accents (piece surrounding instrument panel and door switches)
-Red neon in the trunk
Audio:
-Kenwood head unit with original JBL speakers
-Stock sub and amp not included (previous owner removed them)
Misc.:
-Silvania Silverstar Ultra headlight bulbs
-Painted black stock slicers
-Hornet Alarm System with ignition cut-off (car comes with two ignition keys, one trunk key and two Hornet remotes)
-Green Yamaha Emblems
-Rain X Latitude wipers
Things to consider
- Speedometer recently quit working (I have a new-in-box vehicle speed sensor with receipt that comes with the car, $150 that I didn't get around to installing)
- Brakes are a bit spongy but still work fine
- A/C doesn't work (compressor won't seal) but all new A/C components (new/old compressor w/ receipt)
- Anti-lock brakes sometimes engage when they shouldn't so I pulled the fuse to turn it off, for this reason, the Anti-lock brake light remains on
- The Parking brake light sometimes stays on after the brake is released. The parking brake works fine (I replaced both sides of the cable in 2005). The parking brake pedal is a bit loose and does not always make full contact with the sensor to turn the light off.
- Some rust (especially underneath the gas cap) I sanded the driver side quarter panel and painted it
- Some damage in the rear of the car as someone rear ended me and took off years ago
- Driver side rear window switch needs to be replaced (goes down from driver seat, but must use rear window switch to roll it back up) I have a replacement switches for the driver side, but have not installed it yet.
- Driver side vanity mirror is broken (the one in the visor)
- sun roof control panel came loose and is being held up by two screws
- Far left and right air vents are partially broken (the entire piece doesn’t move as one)
- The rear bumper cover does have some damage, mostly from when I purchased the car, but also from when I was rear-ended. This did push back the trunk about an inch next to the passenger side tail light. The trunk does not leak and it does not affect anything else on the car.
- The 3rd brake light lens is cracked from the minor incident.
- Both valence pieces under the tail lights are cracked (easy to replace, included is one side that is purple in color)
- The keypad on the driver side door does not work (hasn’t worked since I bought it, probably due to the aftermarket alarm system – Hornet)
- The passenger rear JBL speaker didn’t work, so I temporarily put in a 5 ¼ speaker.
- The rims are stock slicers painted black. A few have some minor paint flaws or scratches.
- The fog lights don’t work as they need a replacement relay ($5 part)
- The climate control works, but since it’s a 1994, it doesn’t have the hard-button EATC. The heat works fine (the A/C does not as stated above)
