I got the exhaust leak fixed today on my newly acquired 1999, and also had the rear trailing arm replaced, because it was making a knocking noise when I would hit a bump on the right side. The leak was coming from a cracked manifold on one side.
Took her out for a cruise this afternoon on some curvy roads in 80 degree weather with the top down.
Man it feels nice to ride around in a nice little sports car that sounds like it's supposed to. Just saying.
