it's not identical, it's the EXACT ONE, same license plate and all haha...
when i sold it to him i sold it for $500, had BHG and found a crack in the block (purple dye). He threw a used block on there, stock head gasket torqued to 90 ft lbs. on stock bolts. He also put a the second cat on there (it's gutted tho), when i had it the bolts from downpipe to cat broke when driving haha, i am assuming rust. he also put some interior back in there (rear panels, rear seats, door panels, center console) it will all come out once again tho =P he even replaced the targa, he said mine was leaking.
now the problems it had when i bought it was Crazy oil leak, 2 qts gone within driving distance of 10 miles. Starting Issues. TPS code, and O2 Sensor code, couldn't pass smog. and a stalling issue.
so far fixed the leak, the cause was a COPPER CRUSH WASHER, that went between the block and the hose itself. the location was on the turbo side, under the turbo, and located in front of the oil filter and behind the oil sending unit.
the starting issue is a battery and/or a starter, got the part, just need to do.
the TPS code, well when i get it to start i'll check the adjustment on the TPS (code 51)
the 02 sensor code could be my fault, i through some fuel system cleaner in the tank and the code came on after driving afterwards, have to run the whole tank then erase the code go from there.
the smog, well ran it at work, passed the 15mph, but failed the 25mph. Hydrocarbons, and Nox only. i am going to change the plugs to hopefully fix the hydrocarbons, the Nox, well it was borderline, gonna go through some vaccum lines, and what not. also this is with just the one cat on the downpipe, secondary was gutted by previous.
..thats all i can think of right now, future plans still being planned. i would love 500hp, but may just settle for 350-400hp, but a well built motor to have more reliable power.
