Probably figured for the high cost of tranny repair at a shop these days, he could just live with it. I will do it myself however and save the loot. Later though,not now as it doesn't bother. I spend most of my time in town with this car anyhow. I have other vehicles for highway travel. This is a toy! Thanks for the compliments though guys!

Yea, I thought I saw something in dark photos. Is the intercooler still on? I see the K&N, but don't see anything for the cooler. The cooler would help. I'm not sure that more PSI would be good for a engine with that many miles, but that's just me.

Yup , intercooler present and accounted for. May have this car sold for $2000. Guy wants it pretty bad and wth. I only paid 5 Benjamins for it. Besides as fun as these little dudes are, they're a bucketload to fix when they break! Money I make will go into the SC I have to run up to Denver to pick up by the end of the month and into the GT Custom. The miles are kind of irrelevant on this car the way it's been maintained. The engine has basically been gone through twice as well as the trans.

Man, you just got it. It seems so strange to turn around and sell it. Well I guess you will make some money on the sell. SC in Denver?

Achieva Sport Coupe w/2.3 DOHC HO and 5 Speed. Mine,just gotta go pick it up. Yea, I was gonna keep the DSM for awhile,but hey... money talks and I know just how expensive these little toys can get and how quick too! Might not sell it, depends on the other guy and my woman. She LOVES the car and I don't think she wants me to flip it.

I'm lost I guess. How many cars will you have after you get the SC? Are the seats for that Achieva?

'05 Ford F-150, '88 Beretta GT, '90 Indy, '94 Olds Achieva S, '90 Plymouth Laser, and the '92 Achieva SC 5 speed/HO after I pick it up. No, the seats are the old ones outta the Achieva S I just replaced with seats from an '96 Achieva S in the JY.
So 6 cars for now I guess.
Oh and I posted that vid just for you in the Exhaust section. The one of the pickup you wanted.

LOL! Will be 7 as soon as I go pick up Heilman's GTZ.
Oh, and on a side note, we decided to keep the Laser around for awhile.

Cool on the Laser. It's going to look like a car show at your house! You can drive a car a day, that will keep the miles down.

Lol, pretty much what I been doing too! I've even taken the GT Custom for a couple spins around the block. She runs like a champ!
