Pickin up a new toy 2moro.

[popo8]

Nooo... its not an ltx car.

A friend of mine was planning on scrapping her sons old car cause they cant get it to pass inspection.

According to her, the mods done by the previous owner are what is holding it back from passing.

Its a clean 96 eclipse, non turbo...

Couldnt say no, due to the low sales price. Will go over it... get it inspected, then either flip it or use it as a cheap daily...

hell, it would be hard for me not to hold on to it for a bit. Finding one of those unmolested is like finding a unicorn these days. IDC if its not LTX I am an automotive enthusiast.

I like the thrill of learning about a new platform. What tasteful mods are, weaknesses and strengths, how much power they hold, build quality. Etc.

Hope it's a solid machine that needs little effort. I hear of younger people offloading cars because they can't pass emissions and whatnot. Big plans and then no money to make it legal.

[popo8]

Well took it for a lil drive with the help of SSlowBoat and his lady. After fighting like a million bees living in the mirror, it drives real nice.

Spoke to my friend, the mother of the kid who owned it. She told me that the garage they took it 2 wanted like 1200 to do ball joints to pass inspection and thats why it has been sitting.

I was also told that the car holds sentimental value to the boy because it used to belong to his friend that passed away.

Moral dilema... i may have different plans for it now. We will see what bluebottlez says it will take and cost to make it 100% again and I will go from there with my decision...

Didn't sound terrible. Only a little blue when it was initially warming up and u were first driving away. Prolly why it was hard to start too, bad gas and oil on plugs.

I understand the moral Dillemma. That's why even though I bought my maxima outright from my best friends dad, I don't want to do too much to it. It would hurt to lose it, especially over something dumb like not passing inspection.


****edit: F**K those bees. Shady sneak attack on me when I was trying to start it LOL

Hahahaha when wasps nested in the fender of my Camaro I gave them a nice shower in brake cleaner. Took 2 rounds but they didn't come back.

Car looks really clean. I've always liked the 1 and 2g dsms.

Well it looks like the car just needs some rear struts and some front tie rods. So Im gonna have it fixed up and ready for it to pass inspection, then offer it back to the kid for free if he wants it. My gift to help him hamg on to the memory of his late friend...

I'm curious if others in the community have had good results with the ebay turbo setups on this platform.

Id be willing to try. She needs a small kick in the pants. I think it would add to the sale value to a kid who cant afford insurance on a gst or gsx as well.

Found a local gst/gsx wing for aale for a decent price. Always liked the look of the higher factory wing. Should I do it, or do u think its a wasre of money if I am just gonna flip the car?

I would just keep it stock and reliable. Selling modded cars is usually more of a pain than it's worth.

Found one on line for 115 bucks. I think it would really make it more attractive to a young buyer. Also found full exhaust set ups for about 200 new on ebay.

And although Im not the import fart can sound kinda guy... Im thinkin that would also make it more attractive.

Figure Ill ask for 3k on it... and sell for between 2k and 2500 depending on how much I have in it total.

Its;
tinted
Lowered
Custom wheels
13x,xxx miles
Cai
Wing
And exhaust...

I think lile that a kid woild smatch it up.

Omly negatives are thay its auto and non turbo.

What do u all think?
