That's a VANOS motor, it has the bulge. E36 vanos is pretty reliable anyway, and not hard at all to repair. If you could get that for 2k and can do the clutch yourself it would be a good deal, e36s make a cheap and fun autoX car. Just bring a booster and make sure it actually starts/runs. When you get bored of it sell it for the same price.

That's what initially interested me about the car, I thought it was an M motor glancing at the pictures. Instead it's the ~190ish HP I6 with a misleading cover. And "won't start with a jump" is always code for "severe electrical issues" to me.

My favorite part about that civic is the 10k tach where 1/4 of the entire tach is above the redline. Seems a bit optimistic to me.

I don't know anything about aftermarket tachometers, are they specific to certain engines or do you just get one that goes up to however many thousand RPM and the tach guys just choose a certain amount to put the redline at?

The cover is a pretty common swap for idiots since the M5x/S5x use the same plastic. Notice how the stripes get mismatched after "Mpower", he reused the M50 screw covers. Isn't even really an "M3" transmission either, it's the same ZF 5spd that got put in 328s.

atomicthumbs posted:http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/3259354296.html I'm a fan of the SLC, mainly because it avoids the SL tax by being a personal luxury coupe. The 280slc 5mt is the one to have, but a 350slc V8 4mt or the 500slc aluminum homologation special would be great as well. The cost of entry is low, but keep in mind it's only the down payment... Later SLC's have a fuel injection system that is easier to service, but have a troublesome automatic climate control and other malaise era USDM ugliness. The SL and SLC are puny cars by today's standards, but weigh 3700lbs dry and 4500lbs loaded.

Either way, you could HAVE the job done and still be at least $1500 under what it's worth if all it really needs is a head gasket. But we all know how those kinds of things work out in reality. If they are disclosing a head gasket, it probably means his wife drive it until the motor locked up.

There is a 1974 Opel Manta for sale near me, http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/3257793082.html I'm very tempted to take a look, but I've emailed the seller and he sent me back this "The panel issue started with an overheating light switch above the brake (which i disconnected). Because it was overheating, it kept blowing the fuse and the blinker and stop lights would not work afterward. This is a $2 part. I have been using this car as a commuter and have had no issues with the engine. When the car is cold, however, and you press the gas too quickly the fuel pump can't catch up. After the vehicle warms up however, this is not an issue. The interior is old and original so almost 40 years is obvious in the condition." He also noted that "The car has an 11 gallon tank and I am getting about 150 miles to a tank in stop and go traffic, so about 13-14mpg? I drove it up to Long Beach a few weeks ago, and had about 180 miles to the tank. Pretty standard" Am I unwise to still be very enticed into buying this as a project/daily commuter?

I was surprised to see them show up, but it turns out S80s just don't go for a whole lot in good running condition and it seems that especially with the automatic transmission issues, they're very expensive to keep running.

Factory posted:There is a 1974 Opel Manta for sale near me, Having owned a '73 Opel GT (which was basically a Manta in a smaller package), it will be very much more project than commuter. However, it was so much fun I can't tell you to do anything other than BUY BUY BUY. Check for rust since Opels of that vintage practically rusted from the factory. $40k is abso-loving-lutely delusional for a 'restored' example - I dare you to find an actual-sold restored Opel Manta, Kadett, or GT of that vintage that sold for more than even half that amount. Even the cleanest restored GTs have a hard time topping $10-15k. Expect plenty of other wiring issues like that brake switch. Bosch electrics of the time really weren't much better than Lucas, and a lot of the parts are either NLA or hard to source, or the replacements are just as poo poo as the part you took off; ignition switches, for example. A lot of GTs just get the key turned into on/off for the car, and get a separate pushbutton to actually start it. You'll be using OpelGTSource a lot for parts since I'm pretty sure most of the parts they carry would also work on the Manta, and it looks like RockAuto also has a pretty good selection these days (they either weren't around or I wasn't aware of them when I had the GT). Buy it and post a thread since the one Opel thread we have here gets progress every 6 months
