I recall, back in the day, the parking lot at Mopar's R&D offices was full of turbo'd and engine-swapped K-Cars and AA-Cars. The engineers seemed to especially love building souped-up four-door Acclaims and Spirits.

Speaking from experience, everyone snorted a lot of cocaine in the 80s. That is one of my all-time favorite commercials, even if the car sucked.

You really dont want to do that. My mom drives one of those with the big v6 with the 5spd and it is one of the worst cars I have ever driven. Overpowered steering with no feel, overly sensitive brakes with zero feel, clutch that engages at the very top of its throw with zero feel, shifter throw thats a mile long, horrible gear ratio's and an engine with a power band more like a diesel.

Centripetal Horse posted:Does this bike grant wishes or something? Update: This bike is still being listed, although he is down to $4,500. A quick search for 1986 Shadow VT1100s shows prices in the $1,400 - $2,000 range. This guy is a trip. At the current rate of depreciation, I figure it's about two years until the price comes in line with reality.

This is the most amazing thing ever typed by a human being. How in the gently caress do you go from spelling "radiator" correctly to typing out CONTERNER and DALLARS? Truly the very best of all wordsmiths.

Both the Probe GT and MX-6 V6 are great little cars. I've owned like 4 now. My Probe GT I picked up off of Craigslist for $1400, drove it for 4 years with almost nothing put into it, and got rid of it for $1100. Hell, Jeremy Clarkson even loved the PGT. It's kind of sad to see these cars wind up like that.

I'm always wary of the "easy fix" listings, a head gasket isn't all that expensive to get fixed. If you're willing to do it yourself, then it's a reasonable deal. I paid that much for my Volvo that was barely running, but I haven't been able to get it on the road yet due to other projects getting in the way.

It just seems like all my usual go to project cars are disappearing or actually increasing in price. In the early to mid 2000's I picked up a Taurus SHO, a couple fox bodies including an SVO, a MX-6 GT turbo and MX-6 V6, a Probe GT and a Nissan NX coupe with T-tops all for under $1500 each. Times are tough for scavengers like myself!

Noise Complaint posted:http://westernmass.craigslist.org/cto/3048730227.html The qr25de engine had a couple of issues to take note of 1) Screws for the intake butterfly valves sometimes were not secured properly come loose and get sucked into the combustion chamber with predictable results. 2) The pre-cat in the exhaust manifold would break down quickly and it was possible for some of the pieces to get back into the combustion chamber......similiar results as 1. Aftermarket for the qr25 was limited back when I was around them so alot of people actually the lower spec one that had the sr20de since alot of jdm turbo equipment would bolt on with little work.
