My Destiny



I already sent the guy an e-mail asking for how much CLOD HARD CASH he'd be willing to take in order to end the auction early. I said I'd be willing to fly to Jersey to pick it up.

phinsup 07-18-2003 12:53 AM

Just don't take it by vosko's place before you leave town... yer car might catch something from him.

vancouverrx7 07-18-2003 12:57 AM

nice catch....



bought my 95 at around the same mileage and lost my engine the next month... be weary!



OTHERWISE, damn... welcome to the 95 club.. hahah.. only a handful of us...

So, it might have been fooled around with you think?

phinsup 07-18-2003 01:37 AM

Damn amp nice find LOL



We need to develop a new car purchase FAQ

amp 07-18-2003 01:37 AM

certainly would indicate that..

Srce 07-18-2003 01:43 AM

I guess we'll find out soon. I'll keep you guys posted.

Digisan 07-18-2003 01:45 AM

I should bid on that too...

Hey Phins, do you think it would be beneficial for us to create a HOW TO... reference page for new users about the forums features and things. You know how people always ask how to post pix and **** like that. I'd do it if you think it'll be usefull, I can use those screen shots like I did in the FTP thing!!!

damnit, when I saw this thread title in the active threads list, I thought srce was getting shipped out to kill iraqi's or something...



but no, it's just a srce is getting ripped off on ebay thread, yeehaw.



good luck!



Most people I know that have flown somewhere to look at a car from ebay have flown back without the car because it was nothing like advertised, ebay pisses me off like that. You better make sure Ito goes over that car with a fine toothed comb.

Good luck with the car, Srce. Hopefully it's a good deal.

TYSON 07-18-2003 08:43 AM

not the way mine was https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



my uncle lived 5 min. from the guy, so he looked over the car (not a rotary expert) but i told him what to look for from some of the FAQ's. The car was everything he said...i got a really great deal...im a happy ebay customer. My seller was a damn nice guy, even handled shipping arrangements for me =)

kkw4p 07-18-2003 12:05 PM

Did you carfax it?

Srce 07-18-2003 12:40 PM

Alrighty, I haven't done a Carfax on it yet. I have a week before doing anything and I don't believe that hte owner (dealer) will get enough money on the auction. I got his e-mail writing me backa ndhe says, "hello, to end the auction early or the "buy it now" price is $15903.70. thanks". Well, to me it sounds like a good deal.



I'm gonna ask him to provide me some more pics of the car including the engine bay (close ups of where the tape should be over the holes as Mike said) and the interior pieces.



Thanks guys for pullng for me, it's much appreciated.



Hey Rich, it's pronounced Cer-See!!! LOL

if you look at your fc they have holes in the body to fender seam, so they can line it up on the assembly line, and since its made well, end up with nice fender gaps. on the fd they decided to put a peice of tape over the holes before the car was painted, so the fd's have little bits of painted tape on the fenders.



its handy now because no tape = replaced fender, and if the gaps are nice on the outside and the holes dont line up = bent body?



mike

UniqueTII 07-18-2003 01:00 PM

Ahhh....nice. Thanks for the info!!

UniqueTII 07-18-2003 01:02 PM

The front plate frame on that car worries me. If it's always been there, that means the car has always been run with crappy air flow to the radiator and intercooler.

j9fd3s 07-18-2003 01:03 PM

yup, its good stuff to know, cause you can walk up to peoples cars, and go "oh its been wrecked"...

fender removal doesnt require touching the tape...

Not always true https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I pulled the tape off one day to see what was under it, and it wouldn't stick back on! Curiosity got to me.. LOL
