Lots of dry sockets, brake parts and connections here and there. The rattle is worrying me, but I have been advised to try resetting the ECU and see what happens. I've done a little reading and I think, maybe, it might be a water pump. It's running a little hot (a little above half - which is hot for a NG900 apparently). I'll have my shop give that a close look tomorrow. I must say that non-turbo 2.3 engine is actually quite strong - at least this one is - revs up quickly too.. No exciting turbo rush - but then - much better mileage. The final tick in it's favor (after a pretty low asking price) actually came down to the fact I really won't care as much about this one as I would a really good example of a 9000T and thusly - I'm not going to worry as much about having some fun with it. The suspension feels tight enough for the model, wonder how it'll do in a on cone track. - J Dexter - webmaster - http://www.dexterdyne.org/ all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Mississippi John Hurt - Frankie http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/197.RAM
