I will take $5500 for it.

OKay.

This car is sick. It's been for sale since I came onto this site. That is sad.

People are stupid. I only wish I could buy this car. With the mods on it already it's sacreligious to sell it for so cheap.

Yea, I miss my stock color sometimes. My black one is fine and dandy, but theres just something about the barcelona red that I fell in love with when I first bought Kandy.... So... Thom, I'm not already your best friend? ;( :bash

SHEEEEZ

I have the means to buy it, rather will in 2 weeks, but its just getting to Florida and getting it up to NH. I dont wanna drive it, nor trailer it since trailer to and from Ohio was a PITA and hurt Kandy more than I thought, so I'm hoping they have Amtrak or something down there. I'm kinda anal when it comes to my cars. :D
I NEEEED PICS DAVE! If you wana get rid of it, you need to get in touch with me.

I'll even drive his car up from FlA and my car up to you

Possible to fit everything inside the car and have it shipped? I'd pay for costs obviously...

Posted by J, Sep-02-05 07:34 AM
Well guys, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna buy it off him...

Fortunately I'm local 2 him, so it's EZ 4 me. I've already EMail'd him asking 4 the pics & will try 4 this weekend, if not then next (already Fri). I'm actually suprised he hasn't sold it yet. If U remember, he tried 2 sell it like 2 years ago when he bought another car if I remember right w/ a similar response (I wanted 2 B4 but had already bought my 2nd Eclipse then). Anyways, just thought I'd add my $.02 & say I agree w/ all of U either way, sad 2 C him go.

P.S.
I've gotta '99RS that more & more loox like it's gonna cost me more $$$ & time 2 fix than 2 replace.

Hit me up Dave & let's get the ball rolling,

If he woulda replied to some emails, he woulda sold the car to me already. Instead its probubly going to end up in some schmucks hands and blow the thing up.

Sorry I havent been on here much. I do not have a computer in my house rigth now. i only get onl;ine when I go over to my moms house. I decided to put the car on ebay. I figured I would get more money for it that way. Supposedly someone picked the buy it now for $7000 on ebay. So its sold. I am not sure who won the auction since my roomate is handling everything with selling the car. He owns a used car lot so I let him do the dealing. BTW I am selling a 1998 seadoo gsxl. Anyone want it? It goes on ebay very soon.

...that schmuck is me! I just couldn't stand 2 C a nice car go 2 waste, especially when needing 1x myself & B'ing local...

Been talking w/ James (your roommate) throughout the day (B4 & After alleged purchase). Asked him 2 ask U what your mpg was (or miles per tank), also he didn't know anything about all your stock parts you were going 2 dump w/ it. Am a lil concerned w/ not having an EGT gauge... also, what kind of FPR is on it, Cartech? (he didn't know). He also said 1x of your acessory belts off the UDP is off by a tooth.

He said the dealership's mechanic where he worx (didn't know he owned lot) is off w/ g/f till end of next week, but that he'd try 2 @least replace the gasket on your exhaust manifold. If I had probs, I could bring back & he'd shave it down... or alternatively, I could wait till next weekend & the mech would do both.

Not as great a deal, but @least some1 on the boards got it, right?
MWUHAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Well, B'ing unable 2 actually speak w/ Dave about the setup (a LOT of unknowns) & having no EGT Gauge... I reserve the right 2 B frigg'n pissed off if it blows up B4 I get that sh*t on there!

Just got back late last night from picking it up (3hr drive), I can only assume the engine & turbo is in Xcellent shape (Never dyno tuned, but was on Wideband @ 1x point)... C'ms 2 B alright best I can tell tho, nothing obvious. I prob wouldn't have bought it based on the state of the body (truly neglected) if it weren't 4 the board's trust of Dave. Also having my 99 of same color 2 strip & switch 4 parts is also VERY handy!

The car itself is actually in pretty rough shape after 7-8 months of neglect. Dry rot on the steering wheel, fabric coming down off sunroof panel, power steering not working w/ AC on, UDP shredding belts, fogged headlight, slight valve cover leak, blown door speakers, cruise isn't working, ghetto/old tint job, etc. Not 2 mention the truly NASTY exhaust leak @ the manifold (Think 3rd radiator fan strong, but blowing HOT air!). There's also an issue of rising coolant temperature which I'm a bit unsure of. The 3hr drive back 2 South FL is the 1st time it was driven 4 any good length of time in a long time... U better believe I milked it all the way home, no goofing off or boosting.

Anyways, good news is I'm going on a bit of a blitz 2 get this everything on it that "should" B there... namely the EGT Gauge & FMU (w/ hopes of an electronic Boost Controller).

In defense of James (his roommate), he truly didn't know much about the car since it wasn't his (he was nice, no probs)... and I will B returning 2 Orlando in a coup weeks where he'll fix the manifold Xhaust leak. He also has a 'Dyno Days' coming up to invite all his 4G6x customers back 2 tune their newly broken in turbo engines. Said he'd let me know when he finalizes arrangements w/ the local dyno shop & I could come up 2 get the car tuned (provided I've got the FMU). Said I can get it by then, but may not B able 2 get it on the car by then (L-O-N-G list of fixes 1st)... notta prob, just bring the FMU in hand & we can put it on there. Looking @ $75/hr for tuning on the dyno (not bad).

I'll stfu now, sorry 4 the bit of a novel, I REALLY do enjoy the boost... SOoooooooooooooo much better!!!!!!!

P.S.
Finished going through what receipts Dave had & I'm going 2 B wanting a lil advice (your thoughts) on a couple of these things... will post in appropriate forum then (hopefully 2night, we'll C). Your comments will B greatly appreciated!

Kewl stuff,
- J

::edited::
Oh yeah, he was also running a stock ignition, so a lil unsure about that also... would know better on Dyno, but think will B wanting a new ignition 2 retard. Looking 4 complete reliability w/out question once I'm done (not 2 mention the boost in effeciency from dyno).
