Hot. That's a steal of a deal right there.

I know what you mean about the hatch going under the knife man, I'm in the same boat. I burnt up the steering rack running it manually today. It lasted six months or something.

i have another waiting for tie rods and itll go in, also need some custom lines, the hatch is a 90 so the dohc lines cant bolt down and just clunked everywhere...i needa figure out bolt size for the CA P/S pump so i can install things

see I dont get that at all....... here in florida hatches are looked down apon as lower class and a non-running coupe sells for 1800+ these days IF you can find one.

**** is crazy. I see people post here on nico all the time downing coupes...... I wish I had one

you could easily flip that in florida for 3-4 times that price.

"you know u wanna drop an sr in it"

im like ''no, why would i wanna f*** up a perfectly good DD with that"

ive got a lot of dips asking me were i got my ''aftermarket HUD unit"

2 things about this car

1. im a HB man thru and thru2. i prefer analog gauge set up...
