    -195/40/16 Yokohama S-drives – 90%


    The Bad:

    - Very small rust spot on right rear fender and by hatch glass. I have a rust free hatch that I can include in the sale. The body is otherwise an 8.5/10. There are a couple very small dings. Hardly noticeable. The front bumper and hood have some normal marks due to tiny road debris.
    - The odometer doesn’t work. Never bothered me enough to get a replacement.
    - The compression is slightly lower on cylinder four. I did a compression test recently and came up with the following:
    #1 120psi
    #2 125
    #3 125
    #4 95
    This is Exactly the same readings as when I did the test 2 years ago. The PO did some troubleshooting before me. He dropped some oil in cylinder four and re-tested compression. When he did this the compression jumped up to nearly 140psi. I’m sure if you were to re-ring it, you would see even more power. The readings never got worse and the car pulls hard, so I never bothered with it yet.
    - Battery has a very slow drain. The battery cut off switch is there for when it sits for extended periods.
    -Sunroof tilts fine, but doesn’t slide without issues
    -Could use a better tune to realize the full potential of this set-up. Spoke with John Grossman of Grossman Tuning about this since he has the same Tec2 standalone on his Rabbit. Again, this is just being completely honest if someone wanted a perfect car. It runs great as is.
