Default Considering a 951

I am looking at an 86 951 that has ben worked on/upgraded by PowerHaus in AZ. Anyone had work done by them? Are they a reputable company? The car I'm considering has 145K miles, PowerHaus short throw performance shifter 930 Turbo steering wheel Autometer boost and air/fuel mixture gauges built onto custom a-pillar PowerHaus/APE Mass Flow Sensor with custom EEPROMs Complete stainless steel B&B exhaust system Brand spanking new tires all the way around Kinesis 3 piece polished aluminum wheels 18x8.5 front, 18x10 back Rebuilt A/C system All new belts, including timing belt Newer water pump Many new hoses, boost hoses, vacuum lines New motor mounts...

Just a little wary...any comments appreciated.
Cheers, Phil

Expensive too! I dont want to imagine what that car costs even with the "low end" powerhaus stuff.

Sounds like a nice car but as mpd47 said it is probably very exspencive. But if you get a good deal then go for it.

Thanks for the info....do all the mods make for a reliable daily driver? Of course as long as you don't thrash it...??

yes, those mods arent pushing the engine much harder than stock.
