Anyone Need A Winter Beater?

This place is called metro auto auctions. A friend of mine found it and bought a car from there and its pretty nice. Well anyways Right now they have a vergin 1991 Eclipse GSX for sale on there the only negative thing is its an auto. Someone on here needs to jump on this car, it looks really nice... http://www.maxanet.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?bigley/42538M

Re: Anyone Need A Winter Beater?

I saw it a few days ago but wouldn't have time to mess sith the tranny. Most of the cars there have a problem where you can't even drive it home from there though. You would need a trailr for most of the ones I have seen when I used to look for cars there before.

The IPT rebuilds and high stall kits are good for 9's. A guy on the dsmlink forum went to the track not to long ago with a T67 on his auto and ran 9's all day long. His best was a 9.6.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.

Re: Anyone Need A Winter Beater?

Someone should buy it, fix it, and sell it to me Its tempting, but I don't want to mess around with fixing it.

I am talking about buying the car and building an auto beast...

But it looks like the prices for building one are a little more then I want to spend at this point.

I still have a few cars to put back together and I pulled the head and tranny off my newest project just this last week. I already have a non-running auto and school starts tonight so I don't have much time to spare. If someone buys it, could I borrow the auto ecu to see if that is my problem though?

Re: Anyone Need A Winter Beater?

I'm shutting this thread down, but I will leave it in view for now. I must have deleted 5 posts in the last week for people posting cars for sale that didn't belong to them.

If you don't own it, don't post it for sale. This one is only staying cause a few of the more senior members chimbed in with intrest before I saw it.

I don't care if it's a 99 GSX with 10K miles in prime shape for 2 grand. If it's not yours please don't post it.
