Damn, your right. That looked like a CRX at first glance.

But Geo Metro...that's even worse :/

BTW, top down fucking rules when it is 76 outside. Oh and the S54's linear power isn't bad either.

 

[vitaminT]

Damn, your right. That looked like a CRX at first glance.

But Geo Metro...that's even worse :/

I think that is his MPG car. He doesn't care what it is, what it looks like, what it drives like as long as it gets 50MPG.

 

[willdrift4food]

True that. I can see how that would be nice. I just can't see him driving that...

BTW, I might be trading my s13 + cash for this:

Cause I'm sick of an unreliable car...

 

[vitaminT]

Haha, that was a good one. Almost fell out of my chair. Ok don't get me wrong it is your shit and you can do what you want but PLEASE don't buy a euro car and think it is going to be reliable. People buy hondas and toyotas when they want a problem free ride. I mean my dad put 170k on his Land Crusier and the only thing but gas, oil and tires he did was a starter.

Euro cars are super sexy, some/most are very well built, safe, and some are bad ass to drive. But I don't think problem free would be in the top ten things to say about euro cars in my list. They break...a LOT...and when they do they cost out the ass just for the parts even if you do it yourself.

That is all.

I think you`ll miss your car terribly if you do it, Taylor. I`m almost certain of it. A KA-T s13 is just so much fun. Good luck either way.

I`m not crazy about the Geo... it`s pretty shameful even, but it`ll get me through college with minimal costs and after that I can worry about having fun in cars again.

and what`s with the at signs? This aint twitter!

Todd, my mirrors are polished aluminum, not chrome. Also, they match the hardtop striker plates and door handles, which are also polished aluminum. Plus, they're high quality, perfect fit, discontinued, and very rare in the US. I know of about 20 guys in the US and Europe that have them. I rock. lol

In regards to all Euro cars breaking, thats not the slightest bit the case. The problem lies in the fact that any car built more toward performance is going to have reliability issues. Hence why a Honda Accord goes longer w/o issue than a 240sx. Euro cars are kinda expensive, but considering how cheap it is to own and maintain a stock-ish E30, I see no issue. After all, its not an M, therefore no price hikes on parts.

 

[willdrift4food]

Yeah, I know what you mean, Shan. I just seem to keep running into constant problems with it, and it's annoying.
And I wish I had a DD, even if it was a Metro. It's something to drive while working on this car.

 

[raen419]

The easiest way to have a reliable car is to buy one that you don't want to modify.

 

[dropemlow]

todd, i will have to say im sorry for not calling. its just been busy. and i dont think you will see me autox like c does. i like my cars to much to do that to a dd. and speaking of c i need to call his ass.
and i think sara is getting her new evo sometime this week. well new to her.

 

[raen419]

Sara and Chaisit picked up her new Evo Saturday or Sunday. Its blue, and apparently in impeccable condition.
I was going to hang out with them Saturday, but I may be up in Huntsville again.

 

[jsta240]

schoolbus' are not blue

 

[raen419]

Indeed.

Guys what the hell is the sensor under the oil filter on the later model 240? I've looked all over my book and can't even see it in the pics but mine is leaking a sh*t load of oil and it needs to be replaced. Oil temp sensor maybe?

also what could cause major over heating problem if the water pump is good, the cooling fan runs 24-7, and there is no therostate in the engine? Maybe a belt slipping?

 

[dropemlow]

i think that sensor is an oil psi sensor.

and the coolant could be that the radiator needs to be flushed out,could be that the water pump isnt pumping at the right psi, could be that your coolant isnt right mix, also and the most likey one is that its an 240sx. <------ most likey this one. lol just check your coolant system from top to buttom. im sure it could use a overhaul.

 

[NISXAN]

Apparently Subarus are very popular here in CT...which does my heart good. If I was looking for a used STi, this is the place to find it!

Also, Fenway Park is a very impressive place to see a game. I highly recommend it for a baseball fan.

 

[vitaminT]

More than likely air in the system.

And yes it is the oil pressure sensor.

 

[raen419]

Boyd, grab me a bug eye'd wagon while you're up there.
