Yay, New Car. (Kinda?)
So I've been following a f/s thread for about 4 months now for a wrecked VE-5 (Swapped) and I finally got it yesterday. It's from a nice guy named Matt, he's a fellow .orger but I don't think he comes on much anymore.
Anyway; here it is:

The tranny has been rebuilt not too long ago, has an ACT Stage 1 Organic Clutch. ASP Underdrive Pulley. Hawk Brake Pads. Yokohama YK420 Performance Tires. Black Leather Interior. Among other things... I'm pretty happy with it and The tranny will soon be going into my Pearlmax.
Ahhh, the neighbors all think I'm craazyyy

Yeah, I only paid $350 and he threw in some stuff + towing.
The swap definitely looks fun, but I'm basically going to strip the car before I start on that. (Cut away front, take off fenders, hood etc... he offered to come help if I really found myself in a bind)
Keep an eye out in the classifieds if you need any stock black interior/tail light parts or anything.

have fun, it didn't sound like a bad deal, but the prospect of doing a timing belt and fuel pump at the same time turned me off from it big time.
now you need to return the favor and find me a VE :P

So, you got that car, eh? I had my eye on it, but then the kids tuition came due and I don't really have room for it at our new house (rental). BTW, I'm looking for a rear disk swap and ebrake cables if you don't need the parts. Let me know.
Also, I have a lead on another car- '93 SE 5spd w/ 180k and lots of new parts. It's local (Gainesville) but has a blown headgasket. What would you pay for it?

The rear seat top is a little hardened, and it's a tiny bit lighter than the rest, but it doesn't have any cracks surprisingly. You could probably just get away with conditioning the top to soften it up and be done.
Ahh crap,that is the same thing that happened to my rear back seat,i tried to keep it softened it up with leather treatment but in the end it still cracked.

Wayne you know we love you man. Just so you know I've been keepin an eye open for a rear seat without cracks/hardened on it for ya at the JY. Can you post a pic of the style of leather your maxi has?
#28
yeah...well the only thing brown now is the dash and I really don't think my cousin is going to care that much. Besides, the brown one is in better condition.
Wayne, why didn't you swap over black carpet? Although mixing and matching brown and black doesn't look great. The carpet really helps in my opinion.

Truthfully,I would rather have my original ribbed/poofy tan leather the car came with(or any tan leather),but i have found the 3rd gen tan leather(especially the poofy kind) to be quite rare in the yards.

I am comtemplating going with tan cloth seats,i like how comfortable my wifes cloth seats are in her gxe compared to my old stiff leather seats,i also notice they(cloth seats) keep your body planted in the seat better in the curves..
