[S13Grl]

I must drive with unrestricted passion and love... Ahh! And I promise thee.... I shall be careful...

Man... I can't wait to go get that car today. I just hope everything goes smooth and the only things that are wrong with it are the ones he listed on E-Bay. I'm so excited... I'll tell you guys how it goes, I promise.

I go get her! In like 2 hours. Now I must go meditate now... Irena go through process of spiritual preparation enabling better handling of '91 240SX, 5-Speed, with a stock Vicious (haha) Limited Slip Differential... Ahh... guess what I'm most excited about.

So, AceInHole... did you know I was excited? 'Cause I am excited! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I drove it today... it definitely has an LSD.

All LEs had LSD with ABS unless the first owner requested otherwise.

[S13Grl]

Thank you all for your words of concern and happiness <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>..

Here's about the car...


I can't pick it up right away because my bank screwed something up.

However, I went to see it today:

-BAD clatter in the timing chain area. Seems that the upper guide has completely fallen off and is just clattering all over the place. My biggest concern: if it isn't the upper guide, maybe it's the tensioner... if it's the tensioner, then the timing has advanced from the 10 degrees and the piston head might have colided with the valves. I'm going to check the compression to make sure it's set at around 150 on every cyllinder just to be on the safe side.

-The body has a decent amount of dings. The biggest concern: someone spray-painted the fender and the bumper... looks pretty bad. Also needs original Nissan hood latches, hood sits higher then is supposed to, won't close properly unless dropped from 10 feet up in the air... ok, well two feet. Minor dent on front right fender. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Rust.... man... that rust underneath that foam spoiler. (My coupe!!!! I cry for you!)

-Heat shields rattling. (not a major concern at all).

-Leather seats. God... I like them as much as I hate them <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

-Did I mention the timing chain? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I can't wait to pick the car up... I'm still finalizing everything, but I have 10 days to give him $180.00 which won't be a problem at all. So... yeah <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

Thank you guys...

Post your opinions if you'd like <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> .

[drift freaq]

well when I saw the mileage it looked like a killer deal but of course it still is at the price you got it for . thats a pretty cheap price especially here in Los Angeles sounds like you have some work to do . though I think you will have it well under control.n sounds like it might have been hit in the front and fixed but if your going sil eighty no big deal because your gonna put new(used) parts on it anyways.

the auction was in chicago?? i didnt know that.. im just 3 hours away in iowa.. i thought you were from california?? ah well.. congrats on getting your car now you have something to play with

[240racer]

s13girl - that's why you work in a dealer so you can fix the car easier. &nbsp;Why spend a lot of money on a car when you can fix one really cheap. &nbsp;Also, nice job bidding, got it at the last second.
have fun with your new car, sorry about the bank thing, banks have one purpose in life screwing you over.

later

Thanks, Adam! Thanks, all of you!

And Zephyr, I don't want to switch! haha!

Have you picked the car up yet? &nbsp;You must let us all know! &nbsp;=)

Also, if you could give those of us without 240's at the moment some hints about how to keep the withdrawl away, that would be awesome.

And, Chris... you can't prevent me from making fun of you for your lack of a Viscous Limited Slip Differential . La, la, la, la, la. You all know I'd much rather have the Cusco or the Kaz (sp?) but... hey... this is better then nothing.

It's a project car... definitely. If anyone has S13 fenders they'd like to get rid of that are in nice shape, let me know. I also need a good hatch (the whole rear door). &nbsp;I need to repaint the rear bumper and the right fender. But that's alright!
