Default Just bought an LS1

So, I bought a 98 Formula
Its an A4, 98,300 miles, and looks stock. Not even a lid.

one question, it looks like the rear end is not even with the body. I'm assuming an adjustable panhard rod fixes this?

Welcome, nice formula you've got on you hands. I haven't heard of any problems with the rear end not being centered on a stock height fbody, but yes that will fix it. Completely stock fbods are getting hard to find

There is some slight damage to the hatch I think, either that or the previous owner didn't align it properly.......It sits canted, and someone put washers underneath one of the hinges.....so I was able to get the car for 6000

Is that with the ported oil pump?
Mine seems to sit at 22ish while idle and about 30ish when at 1500rpm cruising.......
Is that too low? I'm gonna take it in to get a full checkup soon.....
