drove the car to work today, sounds like some things have worked themselves loose a bit in the front but it's all good, I'll take care of it this weekend along with pulling all the rest of the air ride stuff out. Aynone know anyone looking for a compressor, tanks, valve body?
Good to see people keeping FD's alive by the way, I wouldn't mind one myself but no cash and no room and no time pretty much squashes any chance of that for now.

Tito was just telling me last week that he recently put a 13B-REW in one I bet that bitch is fast. Buy that one that has been for sale on here forever. The color is not awesome but it is clean and original.

Could always pick up that one sitting in my parking lot, though it probably needs quite a bit of love. First off, it's automatic. The fact that it hasn't been moved since I've lived here (almost 2 years now) probably means that the engine is dead. The tires probably have some terrible flat spots. The exterior could use a little love, but is generally in good condition. I'll have to peak in the car to see how the interior is. I remember it was messy, but don't really remember the actual condition.

You could probably pick that up really cheap if the owner is selling... though it's probably not a good option if you want a guaranteed running car lol...

Actually grungepup's brother ran it and the registration is current and to that address. If you could find the owner that would be cool, but someone does own it. I was thinking of nabbing it if it was abandoned.

Well, they have a package with their address in the passenger's seat, so it would be fairly easy to leave a note or something at their door if someone was seriously interested. I've thought about it but I didn't think it would be worth bothering them unless there was actually an interest in picking up the car.

Yeah I am interested in at least seeing what they want for it if anything at all.

Just randomly remembered reading this post and forgot to reply when I first read it...

I should have the entire spare kit back in Houston and I've been meaning to get rid of it. If you still need it, I'll make sure to bring it back the next time I make a trip. Pretty sure I wont be going till the end of May and I'll get back early June... I'll probably bring it just in case someone else wants it, but let me know and I'll make sure to grab it if you could use it.
