BlackFrog- I'll PM you with the info. But the car is near Boston.
Sisteve- What about this one?
"Blue 86 4Runner- A beater, but a beaut! - $500

For a 17 year old car, she's in pretty good shape. But here's a list of what's wrong...
-Heat doesn't work
-Tailgate doesn't open (needs a new release cable)
-Parking brake needs to be repaired (already failed inspection)
Everything under the hood is in great shape. Brakes are 2 years old, engine cooling system is 1.5 years old, exhaust system is 6 months old and the battery is 3 months old. Only around 150k miles on it.
All she needs to pass inspection is the emergency brake fixed. I love the car but I just can't afford this latest repair. Please give her a good home."

i actually suggested this long before she bought the car. B)
perhaps scrap the teg and sell the z6 to clayton? thats some potential for those turbo parts.
yup... im such an idiot for wating till it was cold to change the thermostat in the rage. blows hot nice and quick.

NO!!!
The Si is also my work car. I haul my antiques to out of state shows like Texas in it. It's reliable and I can put 87 octane gas in it. I want to keep my Si simple and SOHC. The teg will be good for around New England. I'll see how it grows on me. The teg is obviously more powerful and with more features, but perhaps boring in her smoothness. Driving an Si is a more exciting experience. Maybe because she's red... and has the Koni's in her. Buying a set of Koni's for the teg very soon... wheeeee!!!!!!!Also the steering rack is different between the two cars? The Si has power assisted steering, whereas the teg has full power steering perhaps? The Si just feels more in touch with the road so far.
I am not in a hurry to sell it anymore, but its still for sale. My deal fell through on the s dime. Tellling a sales man to fuck off breaks the deal, lol. I am thinking about buying a Silverado now and getting rid of the z. WHo fucking knows. Buy a Chevy truck.
a buddy of mine just traded his 98 banshee with ported head, exhaust and extra rims/tires for a 95 chevy s10 rwd... 75k miles mint condition. 5spd.

do it, but there are plenty of others in this area...
I'll have an extra head when I get around to pulling out the dead engine, to replace it with the engine I got from your parts car...hehe, if you want the head back, just come grab it...then you can slap on some weber 45 Doec's...and kick the snott out ouf a lot of other cars...
Steve, There is a first gen in Westbrook past my marina going towards Clinton. Its on the right hand side past all of the boat dealerships at some kind of tune and lube place. It looks like a red si. I can check it out next time I am in that area which should be within a week.

What a small world! lol. I was considering buying his car also... at about the same time I went to VA to look at the '84 CRX with Chris last week. It sounded like a good project car. I just didn't feel like towing it back home. I only wanted to consider cars that were drivable. Well not my idea of a good winter car, because of its light body construction. But being FWD, it will be okay in the snow. And later on, it will be great to autocross in the summer.

I love looking at this car too. It's so damn sexy. lol. Eg hatches are still first in my heart. I feel lucky that I get such a rush looking at both of my cars.
And this grey color is really yummy too. Dark metallic grey>>>taffeta white... B) What did you do for weight reduction in your sedan? How many pounds lighter than stock is it do you think? And what rims do you have on your car?
