Phew ... but as far as the BRAKE lines ... Those are a different story.

If it's a TT, let me know how much they want for the whole car

the ghey thing though is theres this crazy yellow one by me, and the dude is still driving it with snow on the ground. thats what Civics are for, not 300zx. if you want a RWD/AWD JDM tuner that you can drive year round, get a 1994 Subaru WRX (JDM 94's became importable this year )

just wish i could get a JDM 3rd gen i asked a friend in Japan if he even sees any anymore and he said no, Maximas were never popular there. Only Aus and NZ have them anymore.

some people import JDM civics too , ive seen the late 80's boxy hatches and never style '92 and up or whatver curvey hatches JDM. Boxy ones are cool JDM, curvey ones are at least import a R32 GTS-T if you want a cheaper JDM

Great great skiing within 1.5 hours ... I'm excited. I'm going to have to wait a few years until my son is older to ski a lot, but I'll wait.

Hey OP, what's the word on the car?

yeah. the TT's lip, on the bottom of the spoiler, it has 3 holes for the intrecooler on each side. and also, they came with a spoiler


also worth mentioning that TT's never came as a 2+2 or as a slick top, unless someone swapped

seriously, GO ask them what is going on with the car. this is how I got my 82' 200sx. I just saw it sitting in someone's driveway not being used. I stopped and asked this lady about it, and she just gave it to me, simple as that. you never know til you ask. this has been an amazing project car to work on, it only has 67k miles, RWD, Z22E 4 cyl. motor, 5MT, decent interior, and it has a 02/82 build date which is the same exact build date as my maxima too

of course, upon getting it home and working on it, I've found out it has a spun rod bearing / almost thrown rod. but still!!!!!! FOR FREE? HELLZ YEAH!!! I know of a KA24 I can get for cheap and swap it in and fuggetaboutit.

how I found it:





(extra bonus, you can see my 1st gen maxima in the background of the 1st pic lol)

+1, just go ask. i know people who got their dream car because someone parked it and didnt want it anymore. some people just want parts cars gone but they dont want to go to the trouble of hauling it to the junkyard or paying someone to do it so they leave it on their property

time to go leave a note on that clean 280z ive been eyeing , methinks it not being registered in 6 years means the guy doesnt want it

That's awesome. Where I'm going to be moving to there's an old ford, and by old, I mean OLD. It's not a 29, and not a 32, I think it might be 34 or so. I'm going to have to investigate and maybe work something out. That would be friggin awesome!
