lol 128k not alot of miles but the car has likely sat for awhile? Just enjoy the E X T R E M E sleeper effect of the big old 9k... put on new polyurethane mounts for rear sway bar (very cheap/ instant gratification upgrade); add some bilsteins or sachs shocks to reduce the big under-steer; check out SAS front sway bars and T5 suite. beat on it. fix what breaks.
fuel pump if original will die soon since they only last 150k at best; if coolant changes neglected then flush + change thermostat + look for any seepage on upper block (corners); check plugs and keep at exactly 1mm gap; the DI cassette must be 'perfect' - as in no cracks and preferably no burnt looking marks anywhere; if clutch pedal feels wonky replace the clutch master and clutch hose. this will save possible hose failure (common) and keep your clutch hydraulics in perfect working order. Expect to easily get 200K + out of the clutch even if you stomp on it
