Just about all of us do our own work on the cars. I dont like anyone messing with my car and mechanical work on a car is Damn expensive.

$2500 just sitting around waiting to be sold would not be a comfortable thing for me. I guess you could get that much for it, but who knows? It's a risk. I guess if I was in a little better position I might go for it. It's a lot of work too, considering that virtually every area of that car needs some sort of work.

The steering has me baffled. He ran into something with it, and now the steering has a lot of play in it, and when you turn it, it wants to stay turned, it's like it's really weighted or something too... what do you guys think?

I've made up my mind, if it's not sold, and if the owner returns my phonecall, I'm going to pick it up tonight. Crazy not to, I could at least break even on it. I could have the bumpers replaced and the car cleaned up tonight, and that would make it all the better. It hasn't been washed in years.

James did you buy the car? i clicked the link and it said that the listing was removed. also when you sold the black s13 did you sell it to someone from columbia because someone that lives not to far from me just got a black hatch and it looks just like the one you sold.

yup, I bought it. I just took the $1500 from the black hatch and just put it in this one. The black one went to Atlanta as far as I know. If you see it again, mine had lots of paint peeling off the spoiler, pinstripe just on the front fenders, and a missing emblem on the front. I seriously doubt the girl lied about where she was from though. She paid cash, so I don't care.

A cat back exhaust is a catback exhaust as far as engine choices go. They are different from s13 to s14. The downpipes are different for each engine, but that's it. As far as 2.5 inch, or 3 inch, I don't know what's best. I run a 3 inch, and it's the same one I ran on my KA and now my SR.

dalzell, what's the deal with your parts car? Do you want to sell it? Drop me a line.

how much are those final konexxions?

I love ressurecting 240's, especially when everyone seems to want to part them out. Sooner or later there won't be any left. I'm fixing to go out and take some pics of my newest project.
