Can your wife cook? His box may turn out more tender than the meatloaf if she cooks like my momma does...:biglaugh:

His ticket is ~7x what I paid for my car and more than my last 4 cars combined.

Hells yes, I'm interested, my intake is hacked worse than the U.S. Governments computer system...

I'm pretty sure yours is OK then. Some drifters rebuild once or twice per month, but it all depends on use, if you haven't used it much, the service life of a well maintained LSD can be pretty long.

Ditto!

So it is confirmed bad?

Never replaced one but here's an easy way to test it... Drive to a parking lot/deserted road/[insert place to avoid cops here], and just have a little fun powerbraking. How to powerbrake if ya don't know: put your left foot on the brake and right on the gas, hold the brake down hard at...

We actually share alot in terms of engine troubles with the SHO (v6's), they are plagued by BHG and rod knocks! They also run into alot of tranny problems though...

After the car is in 100% original stock form and in top running condition, depending on what's involved in a manual swap, I'd probably go for it. I will probably hold off until a major engine or trans problem and save a little cash to do a rebuild/NA-T/5-spd with some goodies (read: blow most of...

Hey, just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Mike, I'm in Bradenton, 45 min. south from Tampa.

Exactly how I feel, once it's all done, the more I saved/harder I work on the car I start with, the more pride I'll have in what it becomes.:drink1: -Mike

Non-Turbo, Auto.... but hey for the money.... But it just showed up at my door 5 min. ago, (towed from the closed down stealership I bought it from) and I can start working on it now so....let the fun begin:1zhelp: I like the idea of a 1k$ or less supra club, realisticly mine won't be...

:confused: Isn't it factory? 177,xxx Yeah, I got no idea what brand, but it sounds nice so I doubt its a cheapo.

Yeah, it runs well on starting fluid so far... Only things wrong are whats listed above. Oh and I'd like new tires and some general maintainance in the next 3k miles. -Mike

300$ needs a fuel pump, battery, and cleaning.... sweet!

After a history lesson with the P.O., I found it sat in that spot for a year or so, but was started and moved a few months ago and then parked again and sat, all along with the same gas in it. Since the Walbro pumps have a good rep. and low cost and I do plan to mod the hell out of this...

Ok, UPDATE! I bought the car. Turns out the fuel pump is dead, but the engine and trans are "promised" to be good, and my uncle, cousin, and I are just going to make a project of it. I had 3 mech. friends advise me to buy it. I don't normally buy cars that aren't immediatly driveable, but...

thanks a lot for the info thus far folks it will help a bunch when I go back tommorrow

OK, the car cranks with no result when starting fluid is not sprayed, when a short burst is shot down the intake then the gas pedal pumped 1-2 times it fires right up. It dies azfter the fluid is combusted no matter what, but it will sputter if I spray a relatively large amount, if I spray only...
