80,000 miles = new transmission. I need to keep that in mind.

Raluek posted:Are those the right wheels/tires for that? Looks... strange. They might be deuce tires (9.00x20, or 38" diameter) but the stock tires are 11.00x20 (42" diameter) on those and are pretty much dwarfed by the wheel wells. You can put 46s on without any changes to the vehicle, and I know of people who have put 54s on with very few changes. When I say "dwarfed" I mean it. I can stand between the back of the tire and the fender on mine just by sorta bending over the top of the tire and under the fender since I'm too tall to fit under the sloped part of the fender. You don't realize how big they are till you've worked on one. Those lug nuts are 1.5" hex and the fenders are made from like 14 gauge sheetmetal, the brake drums weigh ~80lb each and the turbo is the size of a basketball. Geirskogul posted:
Why the hell would anyone ever put a 5.2 *into* something? I mean at least you can drop a 5.9 in to replace it easily enough, but wow. They would have been way better off with an 8.0 V10 or any Vortec engine.  http://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/5292079209.html This is actually a friend of mine selling this. He originally had it listed for 10k a couple years ago and it's been slowly coming down ever since. Really wish I had the money to add another giant camo shitbox to my yard fleet...  He's not kidding when he says they're loving huge and make deuces look like toys. That's an F350 it's parked next to in the second picture.

What does "stage x" mean when ricers talk about these things? Is there an accepted standard way of grouping and classifying modifications, or is it just some Yu-Gi-Oh "with my stage 8 turbo, my car's power level will reach 35, far surpassing my rival's which is only at level 29!" bullshit

It's all YuGiOh/Gran Turismo bullshit. Even if some manufacturer labels their poo poo as "Stage 2" or whatever, compared to what?

kastein posted:So yugioh bullshit, basically. Not even that, actually. And 88h88 is wrong. In almost every specific car modding community, stage x refers to a specific set of modifications. What those mods are changes based on which car you're talking about, and often varies between mod package manufacturer. A Cobb Tuning Stage 1 Ford Fiesta ST package might be different than a SWR Stage 1 Ford Fiesta ST package.. For the Ford FiST, for example, "Stage 1" is air filter/intake and software tune; "Stage 2" is intake, intercooler, and tune. Compare that to an Evo X "Stage 2" which is intake, cat-back exhaust, downpipe, and tune. I hate that terminology and the people that use it, by the by, because you already have to be in the scene to know what the gently caress that person's talking about on their specific car.

When you guys are buying something you want a PPI on, do you ask the owner to do it, or does it usually fall on you? I'm looking at flying to pick up something and don't want to be disappointed when I get there.

I'm looking at flying to pick up something and don't want to be disappointed when I get there. I would think it falls on you. There's mobile places that will drive out to the car to inspect it. Ace Inspectors is such a place in Atlanta for instance.

Even if a seller did claim to have done an inspection, I wouldn't trust them. I'd want it done by someone I knew, not the seller's brother-in-law meth addict who works in a chop shop.

The General is well represented in this $8000 game, and with significantly less rust than you'd expect 1995 Chevy Impala SS with Mods - $8000  http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/5345756416.html 1956 GMC Pickup Truck - $8500  http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/5318806222.html 1974 Chevy C10 - $7900  http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/5313037785.html redgubbinz fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Dec 6, 2015 |

I'm looking at flying to pick up something and don't want to be disappointed when I get there. PPI is covered by the buyer and even if the seller 'had one done' I'd get a second opinion and pay for the PPI. If it's a rust prone car or something you're very familiar with give the inspecting shop a specific list or offer them $10 per photo of everything the seller didn't disclose. Did that when I was E30 shopping and it was money well spent. You'll need to work with the owner and the inspecting shop to get the car to/from the inspection of course. You could also fly up and take an extended test drive which includes an inspection if the seller is ok with it.

Sagebrush posted:Even if a seller did claim to have done an inspection That's a huge red flag anyway IMO. I've had many sellers drop that one. More than once I've been told the timing belt was inspected. So your mechanical went to all the trouble of removing everything to get to the timing belt, but didn't change it after somehow determining it was "good"? For run of the mill poo poo under 5k I never bother with an inspection, I just bring some jackstands and a floor jack.

Well that's kind of a bad example because you can pretty much inspect the timing belt by looking at it and poking it with a screwdriver, while replacement (done properly) entails also doing the tensioners, water pump, etc. But I know what you mean.

Plot twist: It was bought last week and the new owners (in the last post) are attempting to flip it for a tidy profit. Clearly the value increased as the mileage magically decreased. Rugoberta Munchu fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Dec 8, 2015 |

I think if you really want to trawl for gold you gotta do a search for pictures, rwd, and manual. Set the price minimum $500 and max $2500 or what have you. 1980 Dodge Aspen with a slant six and a stick. $2000  Or this clean as hell Isuzu Amigo $1800

Paid $400 for it. I wish I had bought this one instead just for the seats. If anyone can scout this one for me, $1600 is a bargain just for the parts. I would be good to offer a grand and have it trailerd here for another $500.

Ten large seems a lot for restoring something that does not appear to be eaten by rust and has a somewhat intact interior. You could probably get away with leaving the paint alone.
