^^ that's one of the popular problems 6th gen's have.

As for an engine stamp, it should be located just under the left side of the headers as shown below:


Mine says D16Y8 but you can't read it cuz my car is really dirty
????one spot weild on the header "where the tube meets the flange" ???

Looks like someone needs a valve cover gasket $15 and should get rid of that oil leaking down behind the header son

and $3700 aint bad, if he has papers for the motor, its riced, but nothing that can't be reversed with some simple tools for example: lime green painted everything, painted vents, fart can exhaust, fat whale tail wing, painted drums, i would scoop it up (if the motor is legit) and put some different rims and sell those on craigslist, buy some 99-00 taillights, some $12 black stock windshield wipers, and that should put you back to stock, and when you mean wobbly shifter you mean when its in gear and it wobbles from side to side, thats normal

Yeah I found out that the wobbly-ness is normal. And For the rice factor it isnt TOO bad only thing i really hate are the altezza's and The windlshield wiper blades. Theres no painted vents or anything haha.

haha word! First things on list 99-00 tails, Short shifter, and new windshield wiper blades :]. After that im saving up for boosting it by spring!

Anywhere I can find 00-99 tails? Also Ive heard mixed things about ebay short shifters. Some people say they are fine other people snap them. I cant see me snapping a shifter. Only thing im worried about is them not working as good as say a skunk2 or B&M.
