well thats all the pics. Shane trammell helped me find it. let me know what you think

rotary88 07-31-2002 10:39 PM

just me but i think for it being a tII its a pretty good deal for only 800 smackers i wish i had come up on that good of a deal!!!

vosko 07-31-2002 10:42 PM

how many miles. i would pay $800 for that car ! that sounds like an excellent deal. what do you know is wrong with it. you sure it needs a rebuild ? looks completely stock https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Seppuku 07-31-2002 10:43 PM

its gonna need a rebuild its either burning coolant or oil

Seppuku 07-31-2002 10:44 PM

sorry didnt see your reply vosko i dont know much info yet but it smokes real bad as soon as i find out the color of the smoke ill know

Seppuku 07-31-2002 10:48 PM

it has 274000 miles so im told and its an 88

vosko 07-31-2002 10:49 PM

it might just be turbo not the engine. how many miles on the car ? i expect 100K+ from the look of that seat LOL

Seppuku 07-31-2002 10:53 PM

ill have to wait to get it till i know whats really wrong. So far ive seen as much as you.

vosko 07-31-2002 10:58 PM

even blown its worth $800 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Seppuku 07-31-2002 11:01 PM

yeah i want it bad

Shane.Trammell 07-31-2002 11:07 PM

homeboy told me that he parked it right there. so it runs it just smokes so badly it stops traffic on that 5 lane highway 50 feet away. its all stock

Rotarydragon 08-01-2002 09:27 AM

*ahem* Didn't you read no one else is allowed to buy a TII till I get one?



That's a global ban btw.



I figure if that were to happen people would get so desperate that someone would give me one just to shut me up so everyone else could buy.

Nice car! I love getting them for steals like that, both my 7's cost under $600 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

UniqueTII 08-01-2002 10:53 AM

That's a helluva deal for $800...lose all of that extra junk under the hood and you'll be all set. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Turbo II 08-01-2002 11:26 AM

great find. I think its worth $800. Even if it needs a rebuild. Now we can work on finding RD a TII

Rotarydragon 08-01-2002 12:12 PM

Find me a job first! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



I'll get one one of these years.

I had forgotten about that web site, I'll have to poke around some more.



I've had my CNA since 1996 of course I've not really USED it but I won't tell them that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



It's not like NDS is hard to use anyways.

UniqueTII 08-01-2002 02:34 PM

There are only 9 jobs listed in Iowa...why are we here agian? lol

john 08-01-2002 03:04 PM

what about the other red t2 sitting next to it

ryan 08-01-2002 03:25 PM

Hey RotaryDragon,

I found a T2 in Indiana which is somewhat in your area... (closer than my 3rd gen was to me) I was trying to convince a friend of mine to buy it, but he's a slacker...



T2 Indy

UniqueTII 08-01-2002 04:07 PM

You linked the evil forum!!! lol...just kiddin. I was thinking of looking at that TII in Indy, but it's a little more than I wanted to spend, and it turns out I won't be buying anything else after all. There's an '87 in Indy for $50 that I want, but it'll probably be gone before I can get there.

Rob x-7 08-01-2002 07:47 PM

Only thing with all that mileage, and the fact that the engine is dead, I would say the rest of the drivetrain is also on the way to the shitter. With transport from Texas to Florida, and a rebuild, and thats saying that the rear, brakes, tranny, clutch is good, cant you just find something local in Florida?

Seppuku 08-01-2002 09:31 PM

i could get a na local but not a TII.

Seppuku 08-01-2002 10:08 PM

Could some one list all the different reasons for the car to smoke real bad?

Rotarydragon 08-02-2002 09:02 AM

Worn oil control seals (side seals). Worn oil control seals (side seals). Worn oil control seals (side seals). Worn oil control seals (side seals).

I suppose the OMP could be flooding it but it's usually the above.

Bad oil seals in the turbo and/or a really dirty air filter could also cause smoking.

Peer pressure is also a cause of smoking. :P

Seppuku 08-02-2002 11:41 AM

do you think i should just buy a rebuilt engine from atkins and stick in it?

Shane.Trammell 08-03-2002 09:45 AM

hey next time im over there ill try to get some pics with it running. could be a bad coolant seal. i dont know about the air filter bc if anyone noticed theres not one. its in the hatch.

Shane.Trammell 08-03-2002 09:48 AM

oh ok i forgot i didnt send him the pic where you could tell that it didnt have the airbox or anything for a filter.
