That would be going for 5k where I live. I'm not a Honda guy, but hell, I'd pick it up myself at that price.

I found a nice 50k mile MR2 Spyder w/ leather on CL for 8 grand, price is negotiable because the owner is trying to pay off his second DUI. I'm out of town and can't look at it for two weeks, though, and I don't want to buy it site unseen because its been smoked in (I want to sniff it myself) and I want to check for precat failure (common on pre 2003s, it's a 2001), which I don't really know how to do other than asking him to be patient while I pull the manifold :P He says it doesn't use any oil so it may be OK, even at 12 years old.

Hope nobody buys it before then but I'm guessing he's on a tight schedule with his money situation.

Smoked in? It's a vert dude! I would make a strong commitment to buying that then back out if it really is terrible.

It looks mean as gently caress with those wheels and tires, and the soft cushy Lexus suspension is well-suited to off-roading.

I had a 9-2x w/ the 2.0 liter engine way back when. It was then given to my brother, who moved to Zurich and took it with him. I'm pretty sure he's the only 9-2x in switzerland if not europe at the moment.

The other pictures make that Lexus look way less appealing but I can't lie, if that were here I would be making an offer on it. Then I'd install hidden cameras and take it to the Lexus dealership for minor service.

it's worth it just to have mud tires + bumper guard on a (former) luxury sedan

Whatever they did to the door handles cracks me up (although it is also kind of badass). Would have fixing it really have been that much more expensive/difficult?

and this is the third of the postal series i have built {eddies motorcycles}BIKE IS CURRENTLY BEING FINISHED NOW AS SICK OF DEALING WITH TYRE KICKERS WITH NO IDEA

The CT110's were first built in 1980 so this is probably a CT90. A good condition used relatively modern CT110 is ~$1200 (from auction) to ~$2000 (registered), a CT90 is far less than that.

gently caress, just noticed the seat. If the seller bothered to put the chain on there you'd see there's only a couple of inches clearance between the arse end of the seat and the chain. Any clothing that even slightly drapes would brush against the chain assuming you don't slide off into the rear wheel first.

This doesn't seem like a very well done swap. A leaking gas tank from a mysterious previous owner drilling holes into it is scary.

Still though, it seems like it could be finished, and the price could be worse. Points for being unconventional though. I wonder what the mounts are like.

Are custom driveshafts expensive to have made up? That's about the point in the swap that I'd be going "gently caress it."









edit: I sure hope that thing on the passenger side in the engine shot near the FPR is not a glass fuel filter..

I've been doing my driveshafts for years and don't see that changing. Easiest if you start with one longer than you need and know the ID of the tubing in use.

If it's gonna go fast, you still need to have the shaft balanced... or balance it yourself if possible. I need to build myself a driveshaft balancer at some point.
