Rhyno posted:So about two weeks ago I was watching a buddies band play and I wandered outside of the bar for some air (and to vomit) and saw this on the lot next door. It didn't have any details on it but I love me some boxy 80's cars. Well earlier today I saw this pop up on CL and it prompted me to go check it out. Probable TFI ignition box failure for the idle problem 'bout 25 bucks and two screws. Find and plug the vacuum leaks and drive the snot out of it!

http://wichita.craigslist.org/cto/3207048111.html What should I offer for this? I hope it's not terminally rusty, I can see what looks like a bit of rust on the rocker panel and front quarter panel.

rscott posted:http://wichita.craigslist.org/cto/3207048111.html That's an 81 (certainly not an 82) and I will guarantee you its terminally rusty. Stay the hell away unless you want a lesson in tears or have a friend that wants an L28ET since you'll have a motor available after the rest of your car falls apart.

Man I don't even http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/3207134350.html quote:Dam dude I hate to tell you I told you so... but I told you so. smh. There is no reason to drive all over the neighborhoods making that noise. You "tryed" to show off your corolla too hard there buddy. The evs, menaces, beymas or whatever the hell you had in there is now gone and either in somebody elses car or gonna be sold on the streets soon. But NUMBER 1 RULE with systems unless your sh*t sleeping in a garage, DONT SHOW THAT poo poo OFF. There are some JELOUS people out here. Its sad tho too because your car wasnt a BENZ, A BMW. A LEXUS or anything. it was a 1988-1991 toyota. Blue book at 1200. The rims costed more then the car. So word of advice to the music heads out there... SOMETIMES ITS BETTER TO KNOW YOU HAVE MUSIC THEN TO LET EVERYONE KNOW. Thats how I knew he has music, his big self couldnt even fit in the car when he drove by my block playing that scratchy music, tune up your eq buddy your killing your ears. ANYWAY. GODBLESS YOUR CAR MAN. I hope you atleast get the car back.

rscott posted:http://wichita.craigslist.org/cto/3207048111.html That's a death-by-rust spot right in front of the rear wheels. The subframe mounts are probably almost floating in space. If you have safety inspections where you live, pretty much guaranteed the car will not pass.

I bought this car because it was on 2f2f and paid a fortune for it. Please don't make fun of me  http://alberta.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-2F2F-1999-Subaru-Impreza-RS-Coupe-W0QQAdIdZ404288440 quote:Please read this carefully. I purchased this car on eBay about six years ago. The pictures you see are what I based my bids on. The car was in the movie 2Fast2Furious. However it came to me in severe disrepair. I paid close to 20,000 to purchase and get it to Canada (shipping and customs were around 4000). So now it is for sale as is. It does not run. My mechanic says that you will need to find a 1999 RS manual and take the wiring harnesses, computer etc... to get it to run. The car's doors are not on the lambo hinges as East Coast Customs removed them for shipping. Body has minor damage, although no rust. I believe it is Stage III Turbo. It has carbon fiber hood, exhaust, tri-coat pearlescent paint, NOS hookup etc... So if you are willing to sink abbout another 4,000 into this car, it can be yours and running for around 10,000! No stupid questions please or insulting messages. Email only if serious about purchasing this project. If you want to see the car in its current condition, make an appt with me.

slidebite posted:I bought this car because it was on 2f2f and paid a fortune for it. Please don't make fun of me A college buddy of mine was really into the Final Destination series. In one of the FD movies (3 or 4 I think) there's a scene where all the kids are graduating and they get diplomas. After the movie finished shooting, the movie company started auctioning off props including all the diplomas from that scene. My buddy spent like $350 on this diploma and was super excited about it coming in the mail. A few weeks went by and he finally showed up one day fresh from the school post office because his diploma had come in. He opened it up, untied the little string around the diploma...and the sheet was blank. It seems to me these stories are analogous except one spent $350 and one spent $20K.

This might be the most truthful ad I've seen on Craigslist. Also, did the 780's have the PRV or the red block? I'm in the middle of rebuilding a PRV and have zero interest in doing it again unless I end up with a DMC-12 somehow. Sir Tonk fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Aug 19, 2012 |

The cluster of men are all thinking what pretty much anyone who sees a car like that thinks. "Well god drat, thats a hell of a messed up car, glad i wasnt in it" especially the one dude's face, says it all right there.

Q_res posted:I really don't know what to make of... this I recall a friend of my dad's having something similar that he made from a Pontiac of the same vintage. As I recall, it was a 4 door and they chopped out the section between the A pillar and B pillar (save for the trans hump/firewall and the back doors became the front doors. He had these ridiculous wide tires on it, and the front suspension was altered to be further forward of the stock location. I think he was aping the gasser look? I dunno.

I'll be honest, I'm impressed in no small part by the number and quality of the pictures, for a CL ad. I'm slightly suspicious about the mileage (either he's selling it shortly after having the timing belt done... or it needs a timing belt immediately) but I've tossed him an email so we'll see what's up with that (and the rear bumper). EDIT: dude responded to inform that he's had it for three years and hasn't done the timing belt. Google seems to indicate that the 120k maintenance interval would run about $550 in parts alone. Barf.
