Rhyno posted:If they turn out to be true? There's like hundreds of testimonials in the Google search results AND the very public theft of the Tonight Show from Conan. Jay Leno is an rear end in a top hat. I can't wait for that NDA to expire so Conan can tell everything that he did. Like I said, I'd like to have a chat with him about car stuff. Maybe he'd be a dick, maybe not. I've met dicks before.

Don't care. None of this is about importing Japanese cars beyond he had one on the show.

As a car person, I have trouble seeing that front tire tread as facing the right way. Darchangel posted:Don't care. None of this is about importing Japanese cars beyond he had one on the show. Have other models' communities noted any sort of market price change when cars appeared on his show?

A lot of people seem to have this rose colored glasses thing going about vintage two stroke motorcycles with lovely brakes and noodle like frames. Yeah, they are fun to poke around on or keep in the garage for a once-in-a-while cruise but...

I am more of a small V4 person when it comes to import bikes  Seems there is an alright market for the 250 2t imports, if someone knew of an auction site that covered them. Also no pesky RHD to deal with.

WHat I know about it (as I am not a bike guy) is it's a very unique build (the tail thing is made from another gas tank which is a rare part or something) and the builder;s bikes are very sought after. I reached out to the owner for more details but he hasn't hit me back yet.

Adult owned by a retired guy. Getting it for $2700.

Seat Safety Switch posted:I love it. How bad is the faceplate? Maybe you can epoxy it together. Epoxy and a cover to hide the crack should do the trick. The audio system is garbage and will eventually need to be upgraded. Gonna have the mechanic fix the AC and then turn it into my daily driver. I'll probably end up selling the 350z if everything goes well with this CRX and then use it to fund my audio and security upgrades on the CRX and GTR.

Looks good. For the crack, once you've glued it back together and smoothed the repair, black plastidip is great for giving the right look to interior plastics.

DJ Commie posted:Stock yellow Si? Someone's a loving time traveller, theiving cars from 1996. 230k miles in 7 years is doable but unlikely. The car is bone stock. Absolutely nothing aftermarket at all. My first car the 91 Crx Si was beat to hell, rattlecan black, primer, ebay cold air, ebay coilovers and waaaay to low. Needed to creep over bumps. The thing had been thrashed. Interior dash lights didn't even work. That's what you get when you pay $1000 for a CRX in 2005. This one has a few dents on the rear where someone tried to put on a roof rack and failed. It has some paint peeling around the back and sides but a totally straight body, factory paint, minimal rust and a perfectly running engine, transmission with no grinding and a clutch that doesn't slip for $2700? Hell yes. Ill post pics of the engine bay later. Its immaculate. Its had its waterpump and timing belt done recently too. Gonna get it a new set of tires since the ones on it are 7 years old and have all the fluids replaced since the braking fluid looks like bourbon.

You Am I posted:Holy poo poo 15 grand for those buckets of poo poo Now you see my/our business plan.    Strike hard and fast when the opportunity arises, $8265.90 american monies for this 3.5 grade, 42000 mile AZ-1.  That's two although one of them is strictly for re-sale since how many AZ-1s does a boy need?EDIT This is the AZ-1 someone in AI was looking at though because someone asked if the front hood was popped or broken when they posted it, it's not broken and was just popped up in the pictures, it's been very well maintained with history and invoices going back.

I've always liked Delicas, and reasonably available spares might help move the needle more in that direction. I'd be looking at anything from the 80s ones (although probably not if it didn't have PS) up to the more recent L400 type body style.

I absolutely cannot believe people in the US are spending 15 grand on Delicas. They're a fifth of that in the UK. e; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/delica-L300-new-mot/263715048929?hash=item3d66a44de1:g:D6YAAOSwF8lbCTd5 Even a really desirable, top condition one only goes for 5 grand or so.

Whatever you can't have is always exotic. My old man had (late 90s) a couple of colleagues who made some decent coin, drove a lot for their jobs, and were able to write off their car on their taxes, so they went all out. One got a Pontiac Trans Sport. The other got a Chevrolet Blazer. Both with automatic transmissions!

Condolences... http://www.oocities.org/teamwhy49/ Also a former EF driver (that link shows how long I was in the game that I remember that....) , so there's a lot of overlap, and I might be sheltered, but I think the prior statement about their theft popularity is a bit overstated... Just keep it clean and don't put anything valuable inside. Main things to know about : Main relay. (will strand you) Distributor shaft play taking out the CPS. (wont strand you, just something to know about) You already know about the control panel cracks.. so you should be ok. Those wheels are directional and awesome.  Keep it clean and drive the hell out of it.

A neighbor backed into it a few days after I parked it outside my parents place while I decided what to do with it. Insurance totaled it and gave me $2000 so I got to drive the CRX for free and rolled that $2000 and my savings into a down payment on my 350z that I still have today. That 91 was rattle can black, lumps of unsanded down bondo and looked like fried hell. The interior lights didn't work because of a replay under the drivers seat that regulated the dimmer switch that died. It was a $150 part from the factory so for a year I used one of those battery operated lights with a sticky pad on the bottom you stick in your closet and push to turn on to see my instrument cluster until a guy who had a parts car on the CRX forums sold me one for $10. Gonna pick up the car today and drop it off at my mechanic to put a new alternator in and convert the car from R12 to r134a or recharge the R12 depending on what is cheaper.

The reason I have been so lax is that these cars are so drat common in Vancouver that I've just recklessly assumed that it's not a factor.

It is an offroad capable vehicle that fits more than 5 persons, and this is a niche that is not well filled at all by NA vehicles. This is literally the reason I've bought one, because I need a vehicle to keep in an area with lots of dirt and sand roads where where a 4x4 is required, and I will need to transport more than 5 persons. In the Pacific Northwest where there are lots of dirt roads and outdoor enthusiasts they're particularly popular.
