I'm going back tonight for a second look. I'll check out the items that have been mentioned.
Emissions are not an issue here in FL. I may go with a straight pipe from the header back to the muffler. Should be well under $200 at my local exhaust shop. Where can I find more info on "non-cat version from Timevalve"?
Engine noise is fairly normal? Do you mean lifter tick/tap?

They are kind of noisy by nature.
Look for 1-2 bar oil pressure at hot idle.
The euro version has around 185 HP and is a blast to drive.
Passing emissions tests can be a problem, but I gather that is not an issue in Florida. If you need to find an exhaust system with a cat, that could be expensive, but you can probably get the non-cat version from Timevalve.
I have not had any trouble with title or insurance with my euro 107.
Sounds like a decent car that needs a new home.
