It did get the complete catalytic conversion, under the pass seat is the "brain", last time I had it in with the mechanic it was running really rough. He diagnosed that the Ox2 sensor was bad, R&R that, replaced the fuse under the seat and it ran way better... The mechanic was wondering why the system looked "different" I told him "hey it's a grey market car" but it's all there!

He's a purist, snobby bastard, but very good at what he does, and I keep going back to him because he did all the work on the car for the PO. Makes for a nice paper trail.

Since my last post here I've replaced the Fuel Injection manifold gaskets, that was where I tracked down a vacuum leak.. Idles very smooth and now only "pops" when downshifting.
I will do the Cam Tensioner update, and run it until if and when something goes bad, meanwhile I'll continue to save for the 3.2/EFI conversion....

I also contacted the PO and he gave me some more info he had found after the purchase: the trans was bebuilt with a 40% lsd diff, 1st/2nd syncros, etc.
So counting the miles I put on it the Trans has only 35K on it..

best weight loss program for my SC Targa??
Pull out the rear seats, carpet, ?????
Best way to completely remove A/C system? The compressor is already out of the engine area, something in Fender well, condensor? Something under the Front pass footwell (looks like a finned cooler?) Trunk area too?
I already installed RS door panels
Thanks everyone, really!!
