yeah i think if i sold my car it'd probably only go for like $3k-3.5k sadly, after all the money into it

 

Can anyone tell me what this Lock is for ?
Key only goes into it and that it.

 

^Looks like an override so when the car is off you can still get it into neutral.

Side Note:
Over heated brakes. These are Axxis Metal Masters.

I need to get my other wheels on because this is what happens with steelies and no breathing room.

Also If anybody wants a USRacing front lip, I just bought it off whatgsr and decided not to use it $375 picked up.

 

Yes Override, for when your neutral safety switch goes bye-bye you can still drive the car.

 

yeah but the dizzy isnt the problem so a rebuilt one wouldn't help anything in my situation

hmm, really? i'm gonna have to try that i guess. never heard of a coolant temp sensor keeping a car from starting... and that is 1 of the 2 codes i have. the other is idle air control valve

 

Black with White rims is hellur sexy! Why you selling it for?

 

I saw MySelfAffliction's black GS-R at Eibach with a For Sale sign on it. I was all over it until I found out that 4K wasn't with wheels.

From what I saw, the engine bay is still Aztec Green. I could see it through the gap between the hood and fender.

 

bye bye DA:



she's been stripped of all good parts, and getting picked up by the insurance.

 

what was the mileage on it? too bad it wasnt just repainted the original aztec green

that sucks elrod, what happened? what are your plans now? another da?

 

well the car was parked, came back and it was smashed by a low skills driver who couldn't back up. car has been placed back to near stock and the other parts have been pulled and sold. i've got another car that i'm working with right now, but its not a DA. if i find another one I may build it just for fun.

 

put my ssr's up for trade on CL today so far the only person that has responded was a guy with kosei senaka's its a possibility looking for something else so gonna keep my eyes out for some new wheels!

 

4k is an or best offer price. I just wanted to start from there. I would not sell the car with the wheels for that price as they sell for about a grand by themselves. I'd be stupid to waste that money. The engine bay is still Aztec Green...trust me if it were me i would have kept it the Aztec Green too. I bought it with the paint job already done. I just cleaned up the car a lot to make it look better. All the door jams and stuff have been painted as well it would need just the engine bay sprayed.

I'm selling it because I currently use it as my DD. I have an 01 Z06 as my weekend car. I finally realized i do not need two project cars. So i'm going to sell this and buy a bone stock car and not modify it. I'll leave that to buying parts for the Z06. I currently have one person very interested in teh car but i'm still taking offers.

And to all the others, thanks for the compliments :-)

 

well since now the whole painted engine bay thing is trendy it might play out in your favor. glws

 

Thanks

 

np bro. how many miles are on it?

 

193,xxx and still running damn strong.

 

its so rare to find one with low miles, if i found one that was clean with low miles i'd pick it up and swap everything from my car onto the db2

 

well what can you expect from a car that was made nearly 20 years ago?....it's gonna have higher miles. To me mileage isn't that big of a deal for a rare car. If you truly want a rare car and love it, you'll have no problem rebuilding the engine to have it last a longer time.

 

Picked this thing up a few weeks ago for $2K. All original. The only thing it really needs is a bit of love.

 

IMO mileage should be at the very bottom of your list when you're shopping for a DA. Who among us plans on keeping the suspension or motor stock? Probably no one. And those are the parts which get worn out with mileage. Everything else gets worn out based on how you drive the car and how you care for it.

Personally, I'd shop in this order:

1) Paint/Body. This is irreplaceable. Once the factory paint is damaged, it'll be gone forever, and you'll never achieve that same paint from a shop - at least w/o multiple multiple thousands of dollars - and even then it's debatable if it compares.

2) "Stockness" Something that hasn't been touched - AT ALL, is priceless. Obviously, it depends on the mod. Something like lowering springs isn't a big deal. But an alarm siren screwed to the firewall - no way to get rid of those holes w/o paint and body work.

3) Interior. Good interior is hard to find, not impossible, but hard to find. And even then it'll be worn. You may think it's in good condition, but were you able to compare to brand new, off the showroom floor condition, you'd be amazed.

4) Engine. You'll be replacing this regardless, so it doesn't much matter, but having all the stock brackets, screws... and what not is nice.

5) Suspension. All of this will be replaced as well, and not really of much concern. Regardless of the car having 20k or 200k miles, the bushings and other components are likely to be shot from age or mileage. And even if they weren't, you'd be replacing them for performance upgrades anyway.

 

are you kidding on the paint? my painter's work ***** on an OEM paint job. OEM paint comes with orange peel. If you use superior paint and wet sanding and buffing the quality is much better than stock. Have you seen how well OEM Milano Red has stood the test of time? or the clear coat on black and green paint from Honda.

 

new here just wanted to share my da with you guys

still have alot of work to do on it, car will be painted soon,

any advice on what to do will be appreciated

PS: its RHD!!!

 

I agree with Brice..Oem paint is low on list..I really noticed after painting my engine bay and seeing how much nicer my bay looks then the oem paint lol

 

Sucks about the DA freakin eLRoD. Something needs to be done about the testing system for your license in the states. Nowhere else in the world do drivers suck so bad ... 25% of the drivers out there shouldn't have a license.

 

Not kidding at all. Factory paint might not have the "bling" of a $5k paint job, but IMO you can't paint car properly gonna paint a car w/o stripping it of everything, all molding, windows, clips... and even then I question the durability of aftermarket paint in regard to sun, fading, chips. I'm just ****. I don't think I saw but 2-3 aftermarket paint jobs at Eibach that rivaled the stock paint on an early production ITR I saw there. And I didn't see the little corners and creases of the other cars, had I seen those I doubt I would have been impressed.

You're right about those colors tough. Red takes some effort to keep clean, and black fades if you don't wax it. White is pretty durable though (also my favorite color). Either way, I'd like to see aftermarket paint see 15+ yrs of sun 12+ hrs a day and not do the same or much worse.
