Default The new daily

I wasn't really intending to buy another car but found this one locally for REALLY cheap, but there are many things that bother me. It has almost been a month since purchased.

●Odometer stopped working at 40k miles after 5 speed swap. Previous owner says it has about 120~k miles now
●AC doesn't work due to leaking refrigerant somewhere
●No radio since the 12v connector to the unit broke
●Driver's side buckle is broken so needs replacement
●Speedometer stopped working after mtx swap
●Reverse lights stopped working after swap
●Got a minor hit in the hatch so that doesn't open
●No rust and paint is decent besides hood
●Was really dirty inside and out
●Purchased it for $575 with a full tank of gas though

As of now I purchased a new battery, radiator, spark plugs, new belts, thermostat, flushed coolant, and replaced engine oil. Having the P5 as a secondary car is really helpful since my ms3 needs some work done to it.

Mods of the P5:

●IHI VF-22 turbo
●Haltech F-10 Fuel controller
●Greddy profec b spec2 boost controller (6psi low, 8psi high)
●Innovate motorsports lc1 wide band
●Gt spec rear trunk cage
●Ground control coilover sleeves
●MP3 front and rear sway bars
●Greddy catback exhaust
●Defi boost guage
●AWR engine mounts
●Exedy stage 1 clutch
●Apexi turbo timer
●Strut tower brace

Don't really have any big plans for the P5, but just trying to fix those little problems that it currently has.

Have a before and after pic of the engine bay.
