Sorry, it was late when I wrote that up quick and didn't see the videos. Wanted an update on the miles anyway. What size tire were the R888/Rim specs? I'm assuming the stock rims with worn tires don't hook up very well heh.
How is the transmission holding up? I see that it was from a salvage yard so that worries me a bit. Have you thought about building it up more?
Any other items that may be worn down and maybe need replacing relatively soon?
How do you feel about shipping or meeting half way? I'm in MN and it sounds like you would want to explain a lot in person.
Thanks!

I'm assuming the stock rims with worn tires don't hook up very well heh., Neither would the R888s in first, but if you can dance with the peddle, she goes real good.
How is the transmission holding up? Just fine. Running Redline D4 Full Synthetic ATF, a large trans fluid cooler, large external trans filter, plus the low water thermostat and low temp fan switch and doing a full fluid flush at regular intervals keeps it in pretty good shape, plus most if the miles on it are highway from commuting
I see that it (transmission) was from a salvage yard so that worries me a bit. I purchased the trans on 2/4/08, IIRC it had ~16k miles on it, so its been in the car for quite a wile with no issues, no worries, see below
Have you thought about building it up more? Yes, too expensive. I tried to do it myself using Alto Red parts when I did the motor/turbo install with the OE trans and failed, It would shift into 1,2,3, but not 4 or 5. So I bought a low mileage stocker, put a valve body kit in at with a good torque converter and its awesome. I still have the OE trans, you can have it too.
Any other items that may be worn down and maybe need replacing relatively soon? Not that stand out. I'm sure a set of new sticky rear tires would be a good idea
How do you feel about shipping or meeting half way? Sorry, MN, thats a little too far for me to go half way, I just don't have the time. You could have it shipped. But you should spend a day with me going over the car so you know all the details.
