Well, exactly one month after ordering, one of the Woodhouse Delivery trucks pulled up with our long awaited RT/10! The delivery turned into a neighborhood event as people from our block gathered around to watch the car get unloaded.
It's is a '94 with 19k miles. The paint color is a custom red, as the previous owner didn't like the orange tint the factory red contained (point being, repaint due to owner preference, not an accident).
The car already had smooth tubes installed, along with a short shift kit and MGW shift knob. It has 18" wheels off a 2001. Also, a very nice Alpine head unit with an XM (Satellite Radio) Antenna already installed, with Focal 6.5 component speakers in the front... a nice surprise!! Now all I need is the JLs mini-subs to pop in back.
Car lurches a little in low gears at low RPMs, so thanks to this board I know that a throttle cable re-alignment is probably in order.
Only issues were an exhaust rattle that we're guessing developed during transit, as Bill P said he didn't notice it when he had the car (and it's very noticiable, even at idle). Bill said he'll take care of it though, so that's good. Also, no soft top! I guess I just assumed that one would be included, so I never specifically asked about it. But as I didn't see it in the trunk, I guess I'll be scouring the classifieds in the near future.
Here's a pic that I think does a good job of showing the uniqueness of the red... I really love the color.
Thanks again to everyone on the board who helped me out in my quest, and thanks to Bill P for being as devoted (and anal ) as everyone said!
