Yep, it was Matt who bought the car. I hope he's happy with it.
I'm sure that he will be and I think he is really looking forward to the project of getting it going. It went to a good home...

Gratz Andy!! Post up some pic's! I am guessing you have something similar to mine, but we haven't talked turbos in a while. Maybe I'll bring mine over to AJ's tonight.

I just got it off the trailer and in my shed a couple of hours ago :bounce:

i hope he didn't sell me a lemon

i can't wait to get it running but i have to find all them darn parts that Nash left out that weren't listed in the ad :headache: i hope you can find some of them.

O well its all good as long as the lower end and tranny are in good shape and with 29k i hope they are.

I should just go and buy a wrecked 2g parts car.

LOL, true

What wasn't listed? Seriously if you need anything PM Jakey. He seems to find fucking everything. The car could have been missing a tranny, and some other shit and you definatly got a deal. I hope you enjoy the car. a 99 with only 29k on it is hard to come buy these days. And only having to really worrry about getting a head done with maybe a few other minor things isn't too bad for picking up a non running car. When you get it going I wouldn't mind making a trip to see it necxt time im in IA. I go to Decorah quite a bit.

well nothing to major is gone but a just a bunch of little stuff that is making my head throb thinking about were i'm going to get all this stuff. I sent Nash e-mail asking if he had some stuff still around, I'm hoping he does cause he said he would ship me any missing parts. It was cold out and he had the stuff packed in boxs and i really didn't want to go take everything out make sure it was there then. He had the head packed away nice in the box and i didn't really want to rip all the stuff out there but i should have. once i got home and got it out of the box it looked like the valves were fine, no signs of being bent just looked like they had high miles on them and the complete rocker assembely wasn't there along with the cam gears. I don't know whats the story behind this or what i'm going to do about that.

then a bunch of small stuff i found just by looking around that wasn't there.

TPS on the throttle body
BISS screw
throttle body elbow
the complete ignition system
the sensor that goes right on top center of the intake mani, i don't know what its called looks like a pressure sensor
the main part of the thermostat
lots of nuts and bolts
main motor mount on drivers side, i must have missed that when i checked out the engine bay and when i got hope the frount engine mount bolt broke cause of all the pressure and the tranny a and AC comperssor is holding it up against the frame.

and a few more small things that i knew at purchase time that weren't in the ad that i have to track down
like the lower crank pulley and timing belt covers he didn't hae
fog lights
i didn't get a 2g valve cover

most of them parts arn't that big but once you add them all up its making my head ache on were i'm going find all them small things like the bolt that hold the intake mani to the throttle body.

like i said i'm about ready to go buy a darn parts car. i really hope nash has like another box around with parts in it. seriously I'd rather have be missing the trans them all them little things.

if it wouldn't have been for the 29k i never would have baught this car.

[dsmstunna]

also measured the intake mani ports and the head ports and the head ports are slighty bigger. alittle less than like a 1/4 inch at first then they tapper down pretty fast to mabey slighty less than 1/8 of an inch.

the are the exact same lenght just the head is slightly bigger. do you think i have a 1g head? what other ways are there to tell?

[Jakey]

Matt I'm glad to see that you got the car home. Like DSMStyle said, if you put together a list of parts you absolutely can not find I'll see what I can find around the net for sale. I know that there is a '95 Talon being parted out somewhere in Illinois.

I've also got a 1G intake manifold sitting in my dorm room in Ames if you would be interested in that to go with your head.

[Super Bleeder!!]

when nash was driving that car i'm sure it had a 1g head on it
