Yup. I'd bet he modded to race and then lost a lot of races thrashing the transmission! Bouncy coils? Won't that screw up the struts faster? If you check it out more and have the skills (and you seem to have them) then maybe still take it. New coils will be hundreds. New struts would be hundreds too.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
