Full disclosure:
I bought the car with 90k miles in November 2015 from a dealership in Washington - have the carfax, etc. I am the 4th owner. I have done 8 track days in this car, the last of which was where I blew the motor.

The car had 100k miles on it when 5th gear starting having an issue. On my second-to-last track day, I noticed it seemed like one of the cylinders would miss sometimes when doing a long right-hand turn under full throttle, so I took it to the pros at AR Auto in Lake Oswego.

They had the transmission rebuilt by Marsh Transmission, who replaced the 5th and 6th gear synchros, flushed the fluid, etc. They installed new coils and plugs to address the symptom I described.

The coils and plugs made no difference, and unfortunately, it appears that the issue was actually caused by running low on oil. So I blew the motor immediately upon getting the car back! Doh!

I found a replacement 2004 AP2 motor with "no miles" (cool story) and decided just to use the original AP2 transmission already mated to it. So now I have my newly rebuilt AP1 transmission with less than 100 miles on it, for sale to the highest bidder.

Thanks for reading!
