lol...
I am still making out good.
only $3,200 invested so far.
and it has a freshly rebuilt trans, including torque converter,
it runs and drives and went up to 73mph today according to them.
so i am still happy with my purchase.
worst case worst i pay another $2,500 to have motor rebuilt.
then id have a perfect 8 for $5,000 total.
can't beat that seeing how i was going to finance 1 with cloth interior
for close to $13,000

Just picked up my 8.
Drove it all way back from universal city to my house near sea world,
man it drives awesome!!! Love the handling!!!
Felt like a million bucks lol.
Now few things. radiator light is on, weird cause he had it replaced 3 months back, does not overheat.
Also im sure the cat is clogged. the plastic above one of the exhaust tips is melted lol
so not sure why cause the other is not melted at all.
Either way im pretty stoked right now!!
Also ac compressor is out and the guy said so is my power steering,
i thought the 8 had electric steering?
it does feel tight but very drive able

When my engine went, I melted the shroud on the left. Cat was fine. Radiator light is probably the sensor going bad in the overflow tank. Not a big deal probably. Unplug the sensor and watch your fluid level from now on is the cheap way. Steering/AC is not my forte.

Ok really weird now!!
Remember how i though cat was clogged cause it wouldnt rev.
well, just took car on 90 and opened it up redlined etc,
and bam! now my check engine light went off.
and the car revs without any hesitation.
what happened?

I'm not being serious, that is the dumbest **** I have ever heard and there is a good chance you will flood it. You need to pull it out and clean it properly. Have you even checked the SSV to see if it is stuck? Search for the thread on how to remove and test it.
SEARCH MAN!!

lmfao!
Yea man 3 people on here sprayed the carb cleaner in and it worked.
supposedly on the 4 port you can move ssv with fingers.
I will get it done right according the the 1 thread. that your talking about.
that 1 made the most amount of sense to me any way.
